This book is a bit different. It’s less about the future of AI than it is about what we have learned in the present. At least as of this writing, in January 2025, few mainstream authors claim that AI is “real” intelligence. I do. Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT aren’t powered by the same machinery as the human brain, of course, but intelligence is “multiply realizable,” meaning that, just as a computer algorithm can run on any kind of computer, intelligence can “run” on many physical substrates. In fact, although our brains are not like the kinds of digital computers we have today, I think the substrate for intelligence is computation, which implies that a sufficiently powerful general-purpose computer can, by definition, implement intelligence. All it takes is the right code.
