Publisher's Synopsis
"This book is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of machine understanding, its evaluation, and its implications. The book proposes a new framework, the Multifaceted Understanding Test Tool (MUTT), for assessing machine understanding across multiple dimensions, from language comprehension and logical reasoning to social intelligence and metacognition. Through a combination of philosophical analysis, technical exposition, and narrative thought experiments, the book delves into the frontiers of machine understanding, raising fundamental questions about the cognitive mechanisms and representations that enable genuine understanding in both human and machine minds. By probing the boundaries of artificial comprehension, the book aims to advance our theoretical grasp on the elusive notion of understanding and inform responsible development and deployment of AI technologies"-- Provided by. publisher.
