information processing

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

Page numbers are for draft copy at present; they will be replaced with correct numbers when final book is formatted. Chapter numbers are correct and will not change now.

The term information processing is sometimes used as a near synonm for computation, for example to say (following {{strong AI})) that the brain is an 'information processing engine'. The term is also used to talk about more organisational computation, for example the computer systems used in a bank, or to process heath records.

Used in Chap. 10: page 153; Chap. 23: page 383
