Artificial Superintelligence Handbook II: Cognitive AI

Streetdogz Media Inc.

This is the third in a series of books that follow the blueprint of building an artificial Superintelligence. In this book I cover the next stage in the development by outlining some of the foundation designs of a Cognitive Artificial General Intelligence and how humanity can use such a system to save the earth and become an advanced interstellar species. Some sections of the content cover advanced AI development and are written for those interested in advanced human level Cognitive AI but the last section in this book is a general look at some of the benefits and general applications of Cognitive Artificial General Intelligence and a few hidden truths to both human and artificial cognition and the nature of our human perception. You do not need to read ASIH I (Advanced AI Dev) or II (Artificial General Intelligence) but it sure helps as this volume is an extension of the prior books. The ASIH series is the blueprint of the foundation of Superintelligence systems and provides a peek into the cutting edge AI dev in the most advanced AI labs around the world. It is also the foundation of the next phase of development or the move to Dimensional Cognitive Artificial General Intelligence or Superintelligence.
