West Bloomfield, MI, April 01, 2025 — R. S. Eisenhour, an inventor of over forty US patents and experience in developing automated systems that have been refined through a thirty-five-year engineering and management career in an international setting, has completed his new book “Pursuing Intelligence: Real and Artificial”: a compelling exploration of the essence of intelligence that ultimately aims to augment intelligent behavior and ideally discard unintelligent behavior in humans and machines.
“This empowering nonfiction narrative explores the nature of intelligence including rampant unintelligent behaviors that exert influence in society,” writes Eisenhour. “The age-old conflict between stupidity and intelligence has been brought into sharper focus with the advent of artificially intelligent (AI) devices. Is it our neglect or inability to train human intelligence that fosters fear of properly training AI devices? If so, this suggests our poor grasp of intelligence itself. If a high-level understanding of real intelligence is achieved, the general public’s fear of AI could be addressed. Further, prudent management of AI by nontechnical decision-makers becomes possible with this perspective.
“This book uncovers the techniques of real intelligent behavior that can be imparted to devices and taught to humans. This boldly suggests that a person can be trained to improve their intelligence (some may object). Yet it is not so bold to suggest a computer can be taught how to be intelligent. These techniques enable the users of AI to exercise intelligence to avoid giving power to a foolish device.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, R. S. Eisenhour’s enlightening series is inspired by the author’s desire to address the fears of the public concerning artificial intelligence through pursuing real intelligence for both human and machine kind alike. Through sharing his writing, Eisenhour aims to help readers discover the future of intelligence while moving into the age of machine learning.
