AI That Thinks: From algorithms to autonomy and building machines that truly think (English Edition)
by Dr. Maharaj Mukherjee (Author), Dr. Monideepa Roy (Author)
AI That Thinks is a visionary yet technically grounded exploration of how we move from narrow artificial intelligence to truly intelligent systems. AI shapes how intelligent systems are designed and understood. Understanding intelligence has become increasingly important.
This book traces the evolution of AI through symbolic reasoning, neural networks, computer vision, robotics, edge AI, and emerging quantum paradigms. It argues for a mechanism-agnostic definition of intelligence, the one based not on how a system is built, but on what it demonstrably does, which is to perceive, predict, learn, adapt, collaborate, and act under uncertainty. By connecting philosophy with engineering and theory with implementation, the book provides a rigorous yet accessible foundation for understanding what it would take to build machines that genuinely think.
