Translator profile:

This book introduces an important theory emerging in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and neuroscience from the perspectives of philosophy and cognitive science, namely "predictive processing" (The). Predictive processing theory believes that the brain is essentially a "hypothesis-verification" machine, and the "hypothesis-verification" mechanism tries to predict signals accepted from the world and minimize errors. On the one hand, this theory has received strong theoretical support from theoretical arguments, and on the other hand, it is concise and beautiful. It provides a "great unified" theoretical framework that can integrate many spiritual functions such as perception, action, and attention, so it is extremely attractive. This book is the first monograph on philosophy and cognitive science on this theory. In this book, Howei introduced this theory in detail from the perspective of cognitive science and philosophy.

Content introduction

The development of AI and its application in robots have made robots increasingly use in the industrial economy and high-end services fields. Optimists believe that the Fourth Industrial Revolution will destroy many jobs, but will also create new job opportunities; pessimists believe that intelligent robots will ultimately affect the fate of mankind. In any case, robots’ replacement of human labor will inevitably reduce the tax base, bringing new challenges to the tax system of every country. Taxation of robots provides a solution. The author of this book attempts to provide AI and robots with a realistic tax definition and consider giving robots legal personality. This book discusses in detail two stages of future robot taxation: the first stage focuses on the use of robots, and the second stage treats robots as independent taxpayers for taxation.
