Future Theory

L'intelligenza artificiale è ancora in una fase di incubazione. Qualche esemplare fa già parte della nostra vita, come il navigatore satellitare o la pubblicità personalizzata sul web. Altre tecnologie arriveranno presto a cambiare il nostro mondo. Per esempio, il machine learning e la macchina a guida autonoma. Di queste tecnologie, appena sconfinate dalla fantascienza alla scienza, si occupa Francesca Rossi al T.J. Watson Research Center di Ibm a New York. Che cosa significa trovarsi al fronte del progresso scientifico?

In this book we are exploring AI from the past, present, and future. Artificial intelligence is a myth that turned into reality. Living in these times, have you ever wondered how your digital assistant, whether in the form of Siri or Alexa, gets you and provides you answers to all your sudden inquiries? It’s all thanks to artificial intelligence. Before we dig into its purpose and how it works, we should get to know a bit more about what it actually is.

How smart machines are transforming us all - and what we should do about it. The smart machines revolution is reshaping our lives and our societies. Here, Nigel Shadbolt (one of Britain’s leading authorities on artificial intelligence) and Roger Hampson dispel terror, confusion and misconception. We are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of superintelligent robots of our own creation. We were using tools before we became Homo sapiens and will continue to control them. How we exercise that control - in our private lives, in employment, in politics - and make the best of the wonderful opportunities will determine our collective future well-being.

Nell'agosto 2014 lo scienziato Alessandro Vesespignani riceve una chiamata: un'epidemia senza precedenti sta distruggendo la Guinea, presto contagerà il resto del mondo. Il nome del virus è ormai noto a tutti: Ebola. Vespignani e il suo team si collegano a un supercomputer e, grazie ad algoritmi e simulazioni, riescono a prevedere la diffusione del virus con mesi di anticipo. Predire il futuro è la nostra ossessione sin dall'alba dei tempi.

Artificial intelligence is driving workforce disruption on a scale not seen since the Industrial Revolution. Automation was once associated with mass layoffs in heavy industry like auto and steel, but computers are getting smarter and are beginning to replace traditionally 'white collar' roles like law, consulting, banking and finance. Yet some curious findings are emerging from the world's leading research labs.

Embark on a compelling exploration into the world of AI, where future reality meets boundless possibility. Can you afford to remain in the dark? When you watch a movie suggested by Netflix's AI, talk to your favorite brand's chatbot, or follow your car's navigation to the new restaurant in town, you interact with AI. Most people are spectators rather than actors in this fast-evolving digital epoch. This is where the insightful journey author Will Davis guides you on will change your perspective.

Adversarial Minds provides a thorough analysis of the interplay between society and AI, being one of those current events books that will help you keep up with the increasing complexity of our world while trying to provide a useful guide map to what our future holds. Debut author and computer scientist Nate Myers insightfully tackles the main debate over artificial intelligence in his AI book, familiarizing the listener with basic terminology and key concepts in a friendly and compelling manner.

The recent economic crisis was a dramatic reminder that capitalism can both produce and destroy. It's a system that by its very nature encourages predators and creators, locusts and bees. But, as Geoff Mulgan argues in this compelling, imaginative, and important book, the economic crisis also presents a historic opportunity to choose a radically different future for capitalism, one that maximizes its creative power and minimizes its destructive force.

In this audiobook, you'll learn how to stop overthinking and be more down-to-earth to take action and embrace the future in the best way possible. This audiobook provides an easy and practical guide to embracing change in our AI-driven world.

Some of the most prominent experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been increasingly sounding the alarm of the current and future dangers of untethered use of AI. Some have even stated that AI poses a very real and imminent threat to the future of mankind, even to the point of AI possibly taking control of the Earth through Machine Learning and even ending the existence of Man.

Exponential technologies are transforming our present and shaping the future. The leading companies of today—and tomorrow—are those that make innovative exponential technologies central to their business practices and strategy. In You and AI, author Rajeev Ronanki explores how exponential technologies can solve the problems that plague the American healthcare industry and provide everyone better, personalized healthcare at a lower cost.

Demokratie und Wohlstand, ein längeres Leben, mehr Gleichberechtigung und Bildung: Der Kapitalismus hat viel Positives bewirkt. Zugleich ruiniert er jedoch Klima und Umwelt, sodass die Menschheit nun existenziell gefährdet ist. "Grünes Wachstum" soll die Rettung sein, aber Wirtschaftsexpertin und Bestsellerautorin Ulrike Herrmann hält dagegen: Verständlich und messerscharf erklärt sie in ihrem neuen Hörbuch, warum wir stattdessen "grünes Schrumpfen" brauchen. Die Klimakrise verschärft sich täglich, aber konkret ändert sich fast nichts.

The singularity is the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the associated transformation of the human condition. Spoiler alert: That transformation will be profound. Despite the importance of the concept of the singularity, the subject receives nothing like the attention it deserves. This book seeks to dispel the confusion, to untangle the distortions, to highlight practical steps forward, and to attract much more serious attention to the singularity. The future of humanity is at stake.

Sensational media reports speculate about the "rise of the machines" but fail to see that there's no real intelligence in AI. It is not an all-seeing master, but rather a functional tool that must combine with the intelligence we possess to be effective. With The AI Republic, Terence Tse, Mark Esposito, and Danny Goh have not written a book for coders, but for everyone curious about a future shaped by AI. They demystify this life-changing technology and explain how we can build a shared space where humans and intelligent automation work together.
