Today we have AI systems that, according to claims, play chess, compose music, create paintings, and even express emotions - but how? Unlike skeptical accounts of AI that refute its possibility and portray the above claims as pure fantasies, Ekbia uncovers the hidden assumptions surrounding AI.

This book is a critique of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the perspective of cognitive science – it seeks to examine what we have learned about human cognition from AI successes and failures. The book's goal is to separate those 'AI dreams' that either have been or could be realized from those that are constructed through discourse and are unrealizable. AI research has advanced many areas that are intellectually compelling and holds great promise for advances in science, engineering, and practical systems. After the 1980s, however, the field has often struggled to deliver widely on these promises. This book breaks new ground by analyzing how some of the driving dreams of people practicing AI research become valued contributions, while others devolve into unrealized and unrealizable projects.
