Human Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We’ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question ‘Can machines think?’ by proposing that machines pretend to be humans. Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated.

Relationships are integral to our work and personal lives, yet so many of us struggle with the development and sustenance of positive connections with others. Now, based on behavioral science and developmental psychology, these two comprehensive publications explore an often-overlooked societal skill: social and emotional intelligence.

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image.

Challenging the conventional wisdom of data-driven decision-making, marketing professors and behavioral scientists Bart De Langhe and Stefano Puntoni argue that many analytics efforts flounder because data analyses are disconnected from the decisions to be made. In their important book, they offer a new approach they call decision-driven analytics. Counterintuitively, they argue that the key to making good decisions with data is to start by putting data in the background.

Do you wish to know the secrets to influence people’s thoughts, feelings, and behavior? Do you wish that you could easily win over friends and leverage your relationships to get what you want? The solution to these problems is to learn the insidious persuasion techniques that are used by some of the most successful people in the world. Psychology of Persuasion is full of tricks and techniques that will have an immediate and tangible impact on your ability to influence people.

The secret to using AI to the best of its capabilities and staying in control of how it influences your life is understanding the psychological concepts that inform it.

If you listen to the news, robots are coming for your job. Full-time employment will soon be a thing of the past as organizations opt more to hire employees on a contract basis. With technological advances across email, video, project management, and instant messaging platforms, being tied to a desk working full time for one company is becoming obsolete. So, where does that leave you? The Human Cloud may be the most important book you hear to prepare for how work is done in the future.

The greater your skills in leadership, emotional intelligence and resilience, the more likely you are to succeed. "Human Powered" is a concise and accessible guide that will help you collaboratively solve problems, resolve conflict and inspire others. Get everyone doing this and you'll have truly high-performing digital product teams.

Today, many decisions that could be made by human beings, from predicting earthquakes to interpreting languages, can now be made by computer algorithms with advanced analytic capabilities. Every day, we make millions of decisions. However, these decisions may be imperfect due to limited experience, implicit biases, or faulty probabilistic reasoning. Algorithms can better predict human behavior than trained psychologists and with much simpler criteria. Discover how algorithms shape and impact our world.

When the noted thinker, author, and philanthropist, Valiant Thor, dictated this audiobook almost a century ago, he was just settling into his role as commander of the Venusian forces on Earth. He had actually put in many decades on our planet prior to that, although he was not, as they say, truly “in charge”.

In The Intelligence Explosion, James Barrat, a leading technology expert, equips listeners with the tools to navigate the complex and often chaotic landscape of modern AI. This compelling book dives deep into the challenges posed by generative AI, exposing how tech companies have built systems that are both error-prone and impossible to fully interpret. Through insightful interviews with AI pioneers, Barrat highlights the unstable trajectory of AI development, showcasing its potential for modest benefits and catastrophic consequences.

In this world, the only thing that is not changing is change, itself. Some changes are gradual and not even noticeable; some changes are dramatic and have bigger impact on our lives. This book has actionable information on how to keep working, even as the age of artificial intelligence takes root in our everyday life.

The most powerful weapon in business today is the alliance between the mathematical smarts of machines and the imaginative human intellect of great leaders. Together they make the mathematical corporation, the business model of the future. While smart machines are weapon number one for organizations, leaders are still the drivers of breakthroughs. Only they can ask crucial questions to capitalize on business opportunities newly discovered in oceans of data. This dynamic combination will make possible the fulfillment of missions that once seemed out of reach, even impossible to attain.

A new approach to the challenges surrounding artificial intelligence that argues for assessing AI actions as if they came from a human being.

We live in a world awash in manmade chemicals, from the pesticides on our front lawns to the diesel exhaust in the air we breathe. Although experts are beginning to understand the potential dangers of these substances, there are still more than 80,000 synthetic compounds that have not been sufficiently tested to interpret their effects on human health.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new electricity of our times. It is revolutionizing industries the world over, and changing how we fundamentally view and understand work. Superhuman Innovation argues that AI will supercharge the workforce and the world of work, can be harnessed to deliver powerful change to how companies innovate and gain competitive advantage. It is a practical guide to how AI and Machine Learning are impacting not only how businesses, brands, and agencies innovate, but also what they innovate: products, services and content.

At the dawn of unprecedented change in the artificial revolution, ETHIC (empathy, trust, human-centricity, integrity, and collaboration) emerges as a guiding light–a practical and inspiring roadmap to navigate the complex landscape of AI innovation, built on a solid moral foundation. As AI and automation redefine our possibilities, we face both incredible challenges and boundless opportunities.

Cosa accadrebbe se l'intelligenza artificiale iniziasse a prendere decisioni morali al posto nostro? In 'L'altra faccia dell'intelligenza artificiale', Sindona esplora come l'IA stia ridefinendo i confini tra etica umana e decisioni automatizzate. Scoprirai come questi sistemi possono decidere efficacemente chi assumere durante i colloqui di lavoro benché sia impossibile capirne la logica. È giusto lasciare nelle mani di una scatola nera scelte così cruciali?

Sensationalism about AI has reached new heights, and getting a useful understanding of it has never been more important. AI will extend and accelerate thinking, delivering unprecedented abundance. But it will also require us to navigate a path of challenges ranging from today’s issues of bias, privacy, and explainability, to job displacement through automation, and a future coexistence with superintelligent machines. This book is the roadmap to that path.
