De Wetten van het Denken

From the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By comes a thoughtful exploration of how mathematics can describe the ways we think. Tracing its origins over three centuries to the ideas shaping modern AI, the book also examines how these approaches still differ from human minds. Tom Griffiths, renowned cognitive scientist and head of Princeton’s AI Lab, guides readers through the three major frameworks for formalizing thought—rules and symbols, neural networks, and probability and statistics—illuminating the people behind each idea. Alongside accessible storytelling about language, learning, and cognition, this work is a timely read for anyone curious about the future of technology.

The book discusses how mathematical models have been used to study the mind, offering insights into how AI systems operate and how they relate to human thinking. It presents a broad panorama—from foundational concepts to contemporary questions—making complex topics approachable for readers with an interest in science, technology, and the nature of thinking.

Publication details accompany the text, including format and page count, underscoring its substantial scope and depth for readers seeking a thorough treatment of the subject.
