Beschreibung

The Embodied Mind approaches AI and the modern revolutionary breakthroughs in medicine, biology, and physics in conversation with the role of the humanities. A mathematician, engineer, and physician, Professor Thanasis Fokas is interested in intensive and focused analysis of these fields: the achievements, uses, neurophysiology, and possible problems of AI; advances in immunology, cancer, and gene editing; the striking inventiveness of Einstein and the primacy of experimental physics; and, finally, the fundamental unconscious processes of the brain and the critical importance of sleep. Throughout the book, Fokas emphasises the crucial role of the arts and letters in today's society, which is increasingly driven towards mechanisation, where emotional and affectional aspects are ignored and emphasis is seemingly directed only towards purely algorithmic, machine-driven gadgets.

No other book matches this title in its combination of breadth, depth, and interdisciplinary focus. Postgraduate researchers across a wide variety of fields will find cutting-edge discoveries presented with appropriate vigour, while general readers will be able to appreciate the nuances and complexities of the topics covered.

What, if any, significant role will be left for humans to play in this anxious, unpredictable world of AI and robotics? Fokas distils the defining aspects of our modern condition to consider, suggest, and advise readers on ways to perceive and engage with the world, avoid catastrophe, and unravel our understandings of AI, medicine, and physics.
