Beyond AI--Artificial Mind with True Intelligence. How that could emerge.Billionaire computer scientist David Sterling was no stranger to controversy but his latest criticisms of AI at its very technological foundation struck a nerve at a time when AI was taking the world by storm-hinting at a new generation of AI that could upend everything. He went so far as to claim AI had absolutely zero intelligence of its own, labeling it as a knowledge system.Before he could share his groundbreaking discovery, Sterling was found-by none other than his old friend, MIT professor William Foster-murdered.Now, haunted by the past and driven by sense of duty, Foster partners with Anastasia Ivanov, a gifted computer scientist, to uncover Sterling's lost research. But powerful forces are closing in-ruthless players determined to claim the discovery for themselves, no matter the cost.The truth could change the world.The price could be their lives.Can Foster and Anastasia survive long enough to unlock the future?Author BioThe author is a retired Canadian computer scientist and engineer. He received his Ph.D. from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He held various architecture leadership positions at two of the world's largest telecommunication equipment makers, some startup companies, and a mid-sized international corporation of thousands of engineers as its Chief Architect. He played a pivotal role in the design and development of numerous products in supercomputing, server virtualization, and telecommunication. His extensive work in telecommunication spanned the areas of electrical and optical, as well as wireless and wireline.The author has traveled frequently around the globe, partly for pleasure but mostly for providing technical guidance to product development at his companies' R&D sites in North America, Europe, and Asia.
