History Artificial

Sugar substitutes have been a part of American life since saccharin was introduced at the 1893 World's Fair. In Empty Pleasures, the first history of artificial sweeteners in America, Carolyn de la Pena blends popular culture with business and women's history, examining the invention, production, marketing, regulation, and consumption of sugar substitutes such as saccharin, Sucaryl, NutraSweet, and Splenda.

What robot and AI systems are being built and imagined right now? What do they say about us, their creators? Will they usher in a fantastic new future, or destroy us? What do some of our greatest thinkers, from physicist Brian Greene and futurist Kevin Kelly to inventor Dean Kamen, geneticist George Church, and filmmaker Tiffany Shlain, anticipate about our human-robot future? For even as robots and AI intrigue us and make us anxious about the future, our fascination with robots has always been about more than the potential of the technology.

A New York Times Magazine writer explores the Next Big Thing in tech - the impending revolution in voice recognition - and shows how it will upend Silicon Valley and transform how we use computers, the Web, and much more. Every decade or so brings a seismic shift in how people interact with tech, from the PC to the internet to the smartphone. James Vlahos shows that we are on the cusp of the next shift: to voice computing. Siri and Alexa are early forms of this technology, but soon we may talk as fluently with our phones, appliances, cars, etc. as we do with any human.

As thinking machines make more decisions on our behalf, they can enrich, enable, and influence our lives. The increasing use of AI raises critical questions about our values, cultures, economies, and power relationships. And the answers may depend upon your race, gender, age, behavior, and nationality. In clear and accessible prose, Olaf Groth and Mark Nitzberg explore the history of intelligent technology, revealing how close we are to designing machines that have some sort of consciousness - and that we must now decide how to give those machines a conscience.

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.

Edward Ashford Lee explores the ways that engineers use models and abstraction to build inventive artificial worlds and to give us things that we never dreamed of - for example, the ability to carry in our pockets everything humans have ever published. But he also attempts to counter the runaway enthusiasm of some technology boosters who claim everything in the physical world is a computation - that even such complex phenomena as human cognition are software operating on digital data.

Ähnlich wie bei der künstlichen Intelligenz gibt es keine offizielle universelle Definition, was das Metaverse ist oder was nicht.Die Metaverse ist nicht der Spiegel einer bereits existierenden physischen Welt, sondern etwas völlig Neues.

Step into a world where technology and creativity collide in Narrative Nexus: The AI Dilemma in Fiction. Delve into the heart of the riveting debate surrounding the role of artificial intelligence in replacing fictional writers. In this thought-provoking exploration, we journey through the compelling arguments both in favor of and against the idea, navigating the complex landscape where innovation and tradition intersect.

Estamos frente a una nueva revolución industrial, un proceso siempre traumático en el corto plazo que en el medio y el largo acaba mereciendo la pena, generando mucho empleo y devolviendo la esperanza a quienes nacieron sin ella o la dejaron por el camino. Desafortunadamente, saberlo no minimiza el trauma social, por lo que "No te vas a morir" llega para apoyar a todos aquellos que apuesten por sumarse a este fenómeno, sea cual sea su edad, profesión o experiencia laboral, porque en estos momentos hay espacio para todos.

From Amazon's Alexa to Japan's robot chefs, technology is becoming increasingly saturated into our everyday lives. Previous technological revolutions have come and gone, but this one is different. For the first time in economic history, productivity and employment are diverging, suggesting that humans are contributing less to economic growth.

The notion of robots gaining consciousness is beginning to become a reality, but the future of human happiness is dependent on our ability to teach machines what we value the most today. Featuring pragmatic solutions drawing on economics, emerging technologies, and positive psychology, Heartificial Intelligence provides a road map to help listeners embrace the present and better define their future.

Search is as old as language. There has always been a need for one to find something in the jumble of human creation. The first web was nothing more than passing verbal histories down the generations so others could find and remember how not to get eaten; the first search used the power of written language to build simple indexes in printed books, leading to the Dewey Decimal system and reverse indices in more modern times. Then digital happened.

One of the key aspects of smart parenting is striking a balance between technology and human connection. While AI can provide valuable educational resources and enhance learning experiences, it is essential to create boundaries and encourage face-to-face interactions. This audiobook delves into effective strategies to promote healthy technology usage, fostering open communication, and maintaining strong family bonds in the digital age.

Strategy, Evolution, and War is a cautionary preview of how artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize strategy more than any development in the last 3,000 years of military history. Kenneth Payne describes strategy as an evolved package of conscious and unconscious behaviors with roots in our primate ancestry. Our minds were shaped by the need to think about warfare, a constant threat for early humans. As a result, we developed a sophisticated and strategic intelligence.

In the swirling currents of technological evolution, "Beyond Eden: Ethics, Faith, and the Future of Superintelligent AI" stands as an essential auditory voyage through the ethical, philosophical, and spiritual domains reshaped by the advent of superintelligent artificial intelligence. This pivotal audiobook, voiced by a leading expert in Christian ethics in the AI domain, beckons Christians and the wider audience to explore the deep interconnections between faith and the forefront of technological innovation.

COVID-19 has created a truly unprecedented world in which digital technology has been thrust to the forefront of everyone's lives. As in-person conversations become fewer and online conversations grow day by day, people begin to wonder: Is it possible to create and maintain real, meaningful connections through digital technology?

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.
