Why has so much of our recent attention been focused on AI while RI (Real Intelligence) is all but forgotten? And why are we spending so much energy debating the future of AI rather than that of its human original? Why can't those who are concerned about AI and those who care about RI talk to one another using a common language?

iMind: Artificial and Real Intelligence

is the first comprehensive popular science account of AI and RI. Unique in scope, it discusses the interdisciplinary science of AI, RI, smartphones, smart sensors, microchips, and the brain-mind connection. It explores what is beyond the physical, including mindfulness and spirituality, and how they can impact our wellbeing in the here and now, and how they can help us achieve a healthy and fulfilling old age.

Mohamed I. Elmasry, PhD, FIEEE, FRSC, FCAE, FEIC, is Emeritus Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
