Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Building Machines That See, Think, and Act Like Humans: Engineering Conscious Machines Through Visual Understanding is a visionary exploration of how artificial intelligence can bridge perception, cognition, and action, transforming not only how machines see but how they understand and interact with the world as humans do.This book brings together the latest advances in neuroscience, computer vision, AGI, robotics, and cognitive science to answer a profound question: Can machines truly understand what they see? From decoding the visual brain to designing embodied AI systems capable of real-time reasoning and learning, it charts a bold path toward creating machines with human-like awareness and adaptive intelligence.What makes this book different?It offers an interdisciplinary roadmap that fuses biological insight with technological innovation. It treats visual AI not as a narrow task of object detection but as a rich cognitive challenge involving attention, motion, meaning, and ethics.Inside, you'll discover: - How the brain's visual systems inspire neuromorphic and embodied AI- The role of AGI in solving functional and cortical blindness- The future of sensory substitution, scene comprehension, and attention modeling- Real-world applications in robotics, healthcare, surveillance, and beyond- Ethical frameworks for building transparent, responsible vision systems- A clear research roadmap for short-, mid-, and long-term AGI developmentFeaturing Maria Johnsen's original invention, a modular AGI-powered prototype that decodes brain signals and maps real-world scenes in real time. This scalable system offers a semi-invasive, low-cost alternative to cortical implants, providing a realistic pathway for restoring functional vision, especially in underserved communities.Whether you're a student, researcher, engineer, or visionary, this book will expand your understanding of visual intelligence and ignite new ideas for shaping the future of conscious machines.
