Professor Caroline A. Jones, MIT, has joined the History of AI Board at AIWS.net.She is a Professor in History, Theory, and Criticism of the Architecture Department at MIT.

She wrote a chapter of the book “Possible Minds: 25 Ways of Looking At AI” (2019), whose co-authors are Judea Pearl, Alex Pentland, Max Tegmark, Stuart Russell, and others. She said “Humans must truly understand intelligence to re-create it”, and “As we enshrine computation as the core of smartness, we would be well advised to think of the complexity of our ‘wet’ cognition, which entails a much more distributed notion of intelligence that goes well beyond the sacred cranium and may not even be bounded by our own skin.”
