Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-30 00:00:00 Joe Belek Simple but does what it intended to; gives a wonderful and inspiring overview that encourages the reader to go deeper. Note that it was published in 1990; it's fascinating how much / how little has changed :)

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-17 00:00:00 Andres Carciente This book collects pro and con arguments in a discussion of the fundamental basis and goals of Artificial Intelligence research. Can military robots be programmed to act ethically? Can an AI computer pass a Turing Test? Will Smart Cars help or hinder travel? Sci-Fi author and robotics researcher Vernor Vinge discusses the coming technological singularity, which Ken McLeod has called the "rapture for nerds." Fascinating and scary trip through some difficult questions.
