From the inventor of the PalmPilot comes a new and compelling theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machines

Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself.
Hawkins develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines.
The brain is not a computer, but a memory system that stores experiences in a way that reflects the true structure of the world, remembering sequences of events and their nested relationships and making predictions based on those memories. It is this memory-prediction system that forms the basis of intelligence, perception, creativity, and even consciousness.
In an engaging style that will captivate audiences from the merely curious to the professional scientist, Hawkins shows how a clear understanding of how the brain works will make it possible for us to build intelligent machines, in silicon, that will exceed our human ability in surprising ways.
Written with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, On Intelligence promises to completely transfigure the possibilities of the technology age. It is a landmark book in its scope and clarity.

陕西科技出版社最新引进美国图书《人工智能的未来》（On Intelligence）一书，是由杰夫•霍金斯，一位在硅谷极其成功、受人尊敬的计算机工程师、企业家与桑德拉•布拉克斯莉，《纽约日报》的栏目作家共同撰写。本书对人类大脑皮层所具有的知觉、认识、行为和智能功能新理论提出了新的理论构想。这一理论的独到之处在于对大脑皮层的现行认识提出了新的观点，对大脑的工作原理，即霍金斯称之为“真正智能”而非计算机式的人工智能立论扎实，观点独特、新颖，阐述精密。对大脑及其工作原理感兴趣的朋友不妨读读，必有收获。

本书共八章，人工智能、神经网络、人脑、记忆、智能理论新架构、大脑皮层工作原理、意识和创造力、智能之未来。

One of the Financial TImes' Best Books of 2021

A bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI. For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world-not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought. A Thousand Brains heralds a revolution in the understanding of intelligence. It is a big-think book, in every sense of the word.
