What do we mean by artificial "intelligence"? -- The issue of relevance in artificial intelligence -- The relevance of relevance: from mètis to creativity -- Historic underpinnings to our quest for knowledge representations -- Human cognition and behavior: a computational and representational decision-making perspective -- Radical embodied cognitive science and certain irreducible phenomena associated with adaptive expertise (mètis) -- Human mindlessness and technology -- Achieving meaningful human control through mindfulness and creative metaphors -- Relevant conversational processes to avoid "success as the seed of future mindlessness" -- Meaningful human control to ensure responsible socio-technical systems -- A few analogies and metaphors on quantum physics as related to mind, artificial intelligence, language and mètis -- Conclusion: more than just "connecting the dots".

"This book demystifies what artificial intelligence is, examines its strength and limitations in comparison to what humans are capable of, and investigates the nature of human adaptive expertise across the concept of mètis. It also examines a particular family of mindsets that we as humans have adopted over the ages, namely epistemologies of representational knowledge. These representational perspectives have followed us into numerous fields, including how we perceive and comprehend human cognition - leading to 'with a hammer everything looks like a nail' syndrome. As such, this book presents the alternative phenomenological viewpoint of embodied direct reality within the cognitive sciences in the form of radical embodied cognition and, more importantly, how it allows us to better highlight and comprehend human mètis and its adaptive expertise. We then examine why we collectively continue to enact and perpetuate predominant mindsets of representations across the phenomena of mindlessness. To counter this, we re-visit the practice of individual and collective mindfulness, providing a potential 'beachhead' in our re-appropriation of technology (artificial intelligence) towards achieving the best of both worlds - that is, allowing human creativity and ingenuity to be expressed with artificial intelligence as a tool to help us do just that across meaningful human control. Finally, we conclude by examining current top-of-the-horizon activities and debates regarding quantum physics in relation to the human mind and artificial intelligence and how, once again, representational mindsets need not be the only tool in town."-- Publisher's website.
