Published in 2019, the book "The Brain and AI" was inspired by the EU’s 1 billion euro Human Brain Project. The German engineer Karl Schlagenhauf and the Chinese scientist Fanji Gu provide an overview of the history of science and technology in the book, discussing and debating these issues from very different perspectives. A clash of differing points of view is thus inevitable, and an exciting exchange of opinions has been captured.
(The book is available from Amazon; don’t let the illustration of the Chinese title put you off).
Karl Schlagenhauf holds a Dr. phil. habil. advanced Doctorate in Philosophy and a Dipl. rer. pol. (techn.) degree in Politics; he was also a qualified independent lecturer (Privatdozent) at the University of Karlsruhe (now known as the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT).
