Description



Book Synopsis



Este es un libro sobre una obsesión que corre paralela a nuestra historia como civilización: la de crear seres artificiales con una inteligencia semejante a la nuestra. Lograrlo constituye el Santo Grial de la inteligencia artificial. A través de un recorrido histórico, filosófico y literario, José Ramón Jouve Martín explora cómo surgió esta idea, por qué su desarrollo se ha acelerado desde finales del siglo XX y de qué forma desafía conceptos fundamentales como el pensamiento, la creatividad y la conciencia. Y es que la inteligencia artificial no es solo una tecnología, sino un espejo en el que mirarnos. Con un enfoque multidisciplinario, el autor traza la evolución de la inteligencia artificial en paralelo a nuestras propias búsquedas, encuentros y fracasos. Desde los mitos griegos o los golems de la tradición judía hasta los actuales debates sobre la «superinteligencia», este libro analiza no solo los miedos y esperanzas existenciales que suscita la IA, sino también su capacidad para enfrentarnos a nuestras propias contradicciones, con un profundo -y bienvenido- sentido del humor.

This is a book about an obsession that runs parallel to our history as a civilization: the desire to create artificial beings with an intelligence similar to our own. Achieving this goal constitutes the Holy Grail of artificial intelligence. Through a historical, philosophical, and literary journey, José Ramón Jouve Martín explores how this idea emerged, why its development has accelerated since the late 20th century, and how it challenges fundamental concepts such as thought, creativity, and consciousness. Artificial intelligence is not just a technology, but a mirror in which we can look at ourselves. With a multidisciplinary approach, the author traces the evolution of artificial intelligence in parallel with our own searches, encounters, and failures. From Greek myths and the golems of Jewish tradition to current debates about "superintelligence," this book analyzes not only the existential fears and hopes that AI arouses, but also its capacity to confront our own contradictions, with a profound--and welcome--sense of humor.
