Artificial intelligence, often referred to as AI, is a rapidly evolving field that is revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. At its core, AI is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This allows machines to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make predictions, all without human intervention. AI is a broad and diverse field, encompassing a wide range of technologies and applications that have the potential to transform industries and improve our daily lives.

Können Sie sich vorstellen, im Alter von einem Roboter gepflegt zu werden? Oder würden Sie in einen Bus ohne Fahrer einsteigen? Die Digitalisierung ist DIE Herausforderung unserer Zeit. In alle Lebensbereiche dringt sie inzwischen vor: Bei den Themen Arbeit, Freizeit, Mobilität und selbst Gesundheit sind digitale Technologien nicht mehr wegzudenken. Antworten auf die Frage, wie der Einzelne und die Gesellschaft vom digitalen Wandel profitieren können, sind aktuell in der Unterzahl oder gar nicht vorhanden. Ängste beherrschen die Mediendebatte.

In a world where the digital landscape is rapidly advancing, the gap between the connected and the disconnected widens, leaving underserved communities at a stark disadvantage. Addressing this pressing issue, a groundbreaking book, "Tech Enabled Futures: Elevating Education in Underserved Areas," has been released, offering not only insights but also real-world strategies to bridge the digital divide.

Today's militaries are increasingly reliant on highly networked autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced weapons that were previously the domain of sci-fi writers. In such a world, what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In Future Peace, Robert H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the growing animosity between the US and its adversaries, our thinly stretched global military, the capacity for technology to catalyze violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity with these topics.

The AI Singularity: Exploring the Future and Implications of Artificial Intelligence is a thought-provoking and comprehensive guide to understanding the potential impact of AI on humanity. Authored by a team of experts in the field, the book explores the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its potential to transform our world in ways that were once unimaginable.

We have been underselling the future. In fact, the future will be neither dystopia nor utopia (which is an actively harmful dichotomy) - it will be what we do the work to make it. And the best way to the brightest future is to focus on what we can do, and make sure we are working to get there. Kate O’Neill, author of Tech Humanist and Pixels and Place, explores the ways we have already begun to solve human problems at scale, and makes the case for an approach that’s both hopeful and strategic as our best chance at a truly bright future.

As science and technology rapidly permeate our lives, we may soon lose control of their tremendous impact on all facets of our society. Instead of making positive or negative projections, this book delves into the specifics of forthcoming changes and how much impact we may have to direct them in our favor. Closely tied together, the evolution of humankind alongside machines is gearing up for the merging of both and the formation of a new entity: a Simorgh whose decisions will be beyond our control.

In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China.

The debate over whether the Net is good or bad for us fills the airwaves and the blogosphere. The real question is, do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves be directed by it and those who have mastered it?

El futurista Gerd Leonhard vuelve a abrir nuevos caminos, reuniendo la urgencia humana de actualizar y automatizarlo todo - incluso la propia biología humana - con nuestra eterna búsqueda de libertad y felicidad. Antes de que sea demasiado tarde, hemos de detenernos y hacernos las grandes preguntas: ¿Cómo podemos acoger la tecnología sin convertirnos en ella? Cuando esto ocurra - gradualmente, luego súbitamente - la era de las máquinas creará el mayor hito de la vida humana sobre la Tierra.

The history of the American gun is intricately entwined with the history of America itself, and the potential future developments in gun technology could change the world. However, the radical anti-gun lobby stands between innovation and the American people. Bestselling author Frank Miniter describes amazing breakthroughs waiting to happen in gun technology - and how gun grabbers threaten to stop progress in its tracks.

Technology is advancing faster than ever - but for better or for worse? On the one hand, astonishing technological developments from personalized genomics to self-driving cars to drones to artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, these very same technologies could raise the specter of a frightening and alienating future - eugenics, a jobless economy, complete loss of privacy, and an ever-worsening spiral of economic inequality.

The U.S. Department of Education (Department) is committed to supporting the use of technology to improve teaching and learning and to support innovation throughout educational systems. This report addresses the clear need for sharing knowledge and developing policies for “Artificial Intelligence,” a rapidly advancing class of foundational capabilities which are increasingly embedded in all types of educational technology systems and are also available to the public.

Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change.

Die Maschinen sind erwacht. Sie fahren selbständig Auto, lernen kochen und kellnern, malen und musizieren, denken und debattieren. Manche übertreffen uns bereits: Sie stellen bessere Diagnosen als Ärzte, beherrschen 20 Sprachen und erkennen technische Probleme, noch bevor eine Turbine ausfällt. Wohin führt das? Sind Roboter und smarte Computer ein Segen für die Menschheit oder eher eine Gefahr für Arbeitsplätze, Privatsphäre und Sicherheit?
