Reviews the book "Neurocomputing: Foundations of Research," edited by James A. Anderson and Edward Rosenfeld.

Such policy activism would be supported by a state apparatus geared to its design and implementation, populated with suitably competent civil servants "smarter than the smartest captains of industry" (p. 192). Ultimately, what is prescribed demands of the state and those working within it a much more engaged and strategic role that does not simply correct market failure, but anticipates it by acknowledging markets' limitations.

Reviews the book 'On Machine Intelligence,' by Donald Michie.

The past decade has been a golden age for artificial intelligence (AI), with an explosive amount of research and development. The second concluding chapter switches perspectives from the scientific focus of the book to industry perspectives, introducing the "AI booms and busts cycle" for development and innovation, reviewing current capital investments and business opportunities, and discussing future trends of AI. Unlike single-author books such as I Deep Medicine, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, and Machine Learning and AI for Healthcare i that were written to introduce the medical AI topic to and engage a general discussion with lay audience, this book is a comprehensive, scientific, and technical volume contributed by a large team of expert authors for professional and scientific audience.
