The book resembles a buffet meal offering many appealing individual pieces ... [and] makes philosophical arguments on AI accessible to non-philosophers-itself an important accomplishment.

An extraordinary book that does what scientists all too often don't do: highlight what is still unknown and lay the foundations for future development of a discipline. A must-read for both students and the experts of AI.

Riccardo Manzotti, Professor of Philosophy, IULM University, Milan, Italy

The promise and threat of artificial intelligence has sharpened debate on the nature of mind, morality, selfhood, intelligence and consciousness. Great Philosophical Objections to Artificial Intelligence deftly presents the recent history of this debate, from Turing to today, with engaging explanations of the technical issues, key insights, current stalemates, and the impact of advances in cognitive neuroscience.

Donald D. Hoffman, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Science, University of California, Irvine, USA

This book cuts an accessible and engaging trail through the past 70 years of philosophical contention over the very possibility of artificial intelligence (AI) and some of its implications. It hits the sweet spot of providing a wonderful resource for the student and practitioner of the philosophy of AI and its recent history, while also giving a general audience a window into how philosophy works. The AI wars have evolved; we may have moved on from some battle lines, but understanding how they were fought enriches our mental repertoire and arms us with tools that will help us tackle new fronts in our struggle to come to terms with AI.

Clayton T. Morrison, Associate Professor in the School of Information, University of Arizona, USA

The book certainly is very informative and useful to students in the combined area of AI science, philosophy and ethics, with over 200 citations and bibliography of key readings in the field.
