Could randomness be the key ingredient we've been missing in artificial intelligence? In this groundbreaking book, AI researcher Dr. Fang Li challenges our fundamental assumptions about intelligence and explains why embracing uncertainty led to today's most remarkable AI breakthroughs.
Drawing from his journey as a computer science professor who once dismissed deep learning as an unexplainable "black box," Dr. Li reveals how his skepticism transformed into understanding when he discovered that randomness-far from being a flaw-might be essential to both human and artificial intelligence.
Through engaging examples and clear explanations, readers will discover:
Why perfectly logical systems fail at tasks any child can doHow nature uses randomness to create complexity and intelligenceThe fascinating link between neural noise and human creativityWhy ChatGPT and modern AI succeeded where rule-based systems failedWhat this means for the future of artificial intelligenceWhether you're an AI enthusiast, a technology professional, or simply curious about how our minds work, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of today's most transformative technologies. "Randomness" challenges conventional wisdom and offers a compelling new framework for understanding both human and artificial intelligence.
