Science Artificial Intelligence

Unlock the power of AI for your small business with 'Artificial Intelligence Unleashed.' In this comprehensive guide, seasoned IT professional and leadership consultant Kimberly Burk Cordova demystifies AI for entrepreneurs without a tech background.

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.

The rise of artificial technology has seen a total change in the way we live our lives, interact, and function in the world. It has infiltrated our reality at every given turn and there appears to be no turning back now. Data science, advanced algorithms, and pattern recognition are now becoming so advanced, but what are the consequences for this progress and has anybody stopped to think about the potential consequences to our innate humanness and spirit?

James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia hypothesis and the greatest environmental thinker of our time, has produced an astounding new theory about future of life on Earth. He argues that the anthropocene - the age in which humans acquired planetary-scale technologies - is, after 300 years, coming to an end. A new age - the novacene - has already begun.

Tomorrow begins right here as we embark on an enthralling and jargon-free journey into the world of computers and the inner recesses of the human mind. Readers encounter everything from the nanotechnology used to make insect-like robots, to the computers that perform surgery and, reminiscent of films like Terminator, computers that can learn by teaching themselves.

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.

The future is now. Artificial "machine" intelligence is playing an ever-greater role in our society. We are already using cruise control in our cars and automatic checkout at the drugstore and are unable to live without our smartphones. The discussion around AI is largely polarized; people think either machines will solve all problems for everyone or they will lead us down a dark, dystopian path into total human irrelevance. Regardless of what you believe, the idea that we might bring forth intelligent creation can be intrinsically frightening.

Are we living in a simulation? MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk draws from research and concepts from computer science, artificial intelligence, video games, quantum physics, and ancient mystics to explain why we may be living inside a simulated reality like the Matrix. The Simulation Hypothesis is the definitive book on simulation theory and is now completely updated to reflect the latest developments in artificial intelligence and virtual reality.

Maxine was made to do one thing: die. Except the minor non-player character in the world Riley is building makes her own impossible decision - veering wildly off course and exploring the boundaries of the map. When the curious Riley extracts her code for closer examination, an emotional relationship develops between them. Soon Riley has all new plans for her spontaneous AI, including bringing Max into the real world. But what if Max has real-world plans of her own?

Within the next five years, Jeremy Kahn predicts, AI will disrupt almost every industry and enterprise, with vastly increased efficiency and productivity. It will restructure the workforce, making AI copilots a must for every knowledge worker. It will compel us to reimagine how we make art, compose music, and write and publish books. The potential of generative AI to extend our skills, talents, and creativity as humans is undeniably exciting and promising. But while this new technology has a bright future, it also casts a dark and fearful shadow.

Covering a broad range of fields within AI–from computing and mathematics to politics and philosophy–entries demystify what artificial intelligence is and how it works, how it has dramatically changed the way we live, and how it might evolve in the future. Explaining each individual aspect of AI more clearly than ever before, the book outlines the key building-blocks and technological milestones in its history, profiles its most important practical applications–both current and predicted–and explores the numerous ethical debates around AI, and its increasing influence on culture and society.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere. This book goes beyond merely a definition of artificial intelligence, delving into a discussion of strategies, tools, vendors, and trends to ensure, as a consultant and/or business leader, you are competitive in 2019 and beyond. Artificial Intelligence: Foundations for Business Leaders & Consultants illustrates how to successfully embed artificial intelligence in yours or your client's organization through a simple view of a complex topic to enabling listeners to leverage AI for competitive advantage.

Artificial intelligence. A strange combination of words to describe the capabilities of super computers, isn't it? But regardless of how you describe it, we're now moving at warp speed into an era of robot-assisted life. Virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, machine learning, the internet of things. These are the building blocks that are now constructing the future of mankind. In this third book in his Robots Rule series, multi-book author and investigative journalist Atherton Cooper guides us through the maze of machines to explain how radically our present is changing.

Many people have unanswered questions about artificial intelligence. Today, the majority of those questions will likely be answered. Concerns will be addressed, and examples will be given. This book starts off with a question and answer section about artificial intelligence. It then proceeds to cover specific artificially intelligent applications, such as chatbots and robotics. These pages will show details of things that puzzle many people’s minds. But you won’t be left in the dark and will enjoy the full benefits of this knowledge. Start listening now!

In this guide, you will learn about all the basics of artificial intelligence. You’ll learn what it is, how it works, and where it came from (or, in other words, how it all started). Aside from that, we’ll dive into some data analytics and examples of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover several steps in the analytical process, and see what it takes for artificial intelligence to be effective. Last but not least, safety and privacy issues will be brought to light, since today’s age is full of hacking, spying, and theft.

If you've been following the news, you probably know that artificial intelligence is taking over. Self-driving trucks, face recognition, machines, and automatic cashiers are becoming the replacement for regular human beings. If you want to learn more about artificial intelligence, where it comes from, how some of it works, and what the future might look like, this audiobook is for you.

Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates have proclaimed Artificial Intelligence as a possible threat in the future unless humans learn to use it wisely. Could this be true? Is it possible for us to create artificial intelligence programming so that we'll soon have thinking and feeling AI? Is it even possible for us to have a human-looking AI run for president in the future? All of these questions and thoughts are addressed in Artificial Intelligence: Understanding A.I. and the Implications of Machine Learning.
