The Master Algorithm

Autor: Pedro Domingos

Número de Páginas: 377

Recommended by Bill Gates A thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration of machine learning and the race to build computer intelligences as flexible as our own In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner--the Master Algorithm--and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.

Cómo crear una mente

Autor: Ray Kurzweil

Número de Páginas: 270

2029: año en el que la inteligencia artificial no podrá distinguirse de la humana. Este es el horizonte hacia el que mira "Cómo crear una mente". Siguiendo la estela de "La Singularidad está cerca", su libro anterior, el autor recorre la curva del crecimiento exponencial de la tecnología hasta el momento en el que la inteligencia de los ordenadores alcanza a la del hombre. ¿Qué pasará entonces? Si la creación de máquinas cada vez más potentes es una capacidad humana, entonces las máquinas también heredarán esta capacidad, pero con todas las ventajas que conllevan los sustratos no biológicos. Esto dará lugar a posteriores generaciones de máquinas cada vez más potentes que acompañarán al hombre hacia la singularidad tecnológica. Ray Kurzweil explica el itinerario que el hombre está siguiendo para lograr este objetivo, así como la manera precisa en la que está llevando a cabo esta transformación. Según el autor, el futuro inteligente de las máquinas converge con el de los humanos, ya que seremos capaces de incorporar dicha inteligencia a nuestros propios cuerpos. ¿Cómo será el mundo en este escenario? Descúbralo con la lectura de este apasionante libro.

La gran degeneración

Autor: Niall Ferguson

Número de Páginas: 156

Un análisis de las causas del declive actual de occidente. Hace tiempo que se anuncia el declive de Occidente, pero ahora los síntomas de esa decadencia nos acosan: un crecimiento mínimo, una deuda asfixiante, una población envejecida, conductas antisociales. ¿Qué le pasa a la civilización occidental? La respuesta que ofrece Niall Ferguson es que nuestras instituciones, los complejos marcos dentro de los que una sociedad puede florecer o fracasar, están degenerando. El gobierno representativo, el libre mercado, el imperio de la ley y la sociedad civil: estos solían ser los cuatro pilares de las sociedades occidentales. Estas instituciones, más que ninguna ventaja geográfica o climatológica, permitieron el dominio global de Occidente a partir de 1500. En nuestra época, sin embargo, estas instituciones se han deteriorado de modo alarmante. Nuestras democracias han roto el pacto intergeneracional al dejar una pesada carga de deuda a nuestros hijos y nietos. Nuestros mercados cada vez están más distorsionados por regulaciones excesivamente complejas que son la enfermedad de la que pretenden ser la cura. El imperio de la ley se ha convertido en el imperio de los...

Metamodern Leadership

Autor: James Surwillo

Número de Páginas: 233

Metamodern Leadership outlines the seven values that identify the character of our future leaders based on the circumstances that make the Millennial Generation who they are. It is at once an attempt to implore youth to seize their potential by tying their values to ancient wisdom, as well as a warning to everyone else to understand the impacts of disregarding the inevitable tendencies of a very distinct new demographic. This is the untold story of the personal responsibility required of the Millennial Generation, against the messaging and memes that portray them as entitled and lazy. It is an optimistic and pragmatic interpretation on the leadership mandates in the near future. The ancient virtue of leadership required broad knowledge as the basis for critical thinking and self-examination. The late twentieth century required myopic versions of leadership, which neglected the truths of centuries of wisdom. Our younger generations will lead and follow based on new foundations that seem counterintuitive to most yet will be the status quo within a decade. This distinction will lead to pragmatism and problem solving for the future rather than the dogma and gridlock of today. We will...

Privacy in the Age of Neuroscience

Autor: David Grant

Número de Páginas: 325

Neuroscience has begun to intrude deeply into what it means to be human, an intrusion that offers profound benefits but will demolish our present understanding of privacy. In Privacy in the Age of Neuroscience, David Grant argues that we need to reconceptualize privacy in a manner that will allow us to reap the rewards of neuroscience while still protecting our privacy and, ultimately, our humanity. Grant delves into our relationship with technology, the latest in what he describes as a historical series of 'magnitudes', following Deity, the State and the Market, proposing the idea that, for this new magnitude (Technology), we must control rather than be subjected to it. In this provocative work, Grant unveils a radical account of privacy and an equally radical proposal to create the social infrastructure we need to support it.

Artificial Intelligence and the Legal Profession

Autor: Michael Legg , Felicity Bell

Número de Páginas: 407

How are new technologies changing the practice of law? With examples and explanations drawn from the UK, US, Canada, Australia and other common law countries, as well as from China and Europe, this book considers the opportunities and implications for lawyers as artificial intelligence systems become commonplace in legal service delivery. It examines what lawyers do in the practice of law and where AI will impact this work. It also explains the important continuing role of the lawyer in an AI world. This book is divided into three parts: Part A provides an accessible explanation of AI, including diagrams, and contrasts this with the role and work of lawyers. Part B focuses on six different aspects of legal work (litigation, transactional, dispute resolution, regulation and compliance, criminal law and legal advice and strategy) where AI is making a considerable impact and looks at how this is occurring. Part C discusses how lawyers and law firms can best utilise the promise of AI, while also acknowledging its limitations. It also discusses ethical and regulatory issues, including the lawyer's role in upholding the rule of law.

Data and Democracy at Work

Autor: Brishen Rogers

Número de Páginas: 289

An exploration of how major companies have used advanced information technologies to limit worker power, and how labor law reform could reverse that trend. As our economy has shifted away from industrial production and service industries have become dominant, many of the nation's largest employers are now in fields like retail, food service, logistics, and hospitality. These companies have turned to data-driven surveillance technologies that operate over a vast distance, enabling cheaper oversight of massive numbers of workers. Data and Democracy at Work argues that companies often use new data-driven technologies as a power resource—or even a tool of class domination—and that our labor laws allow them to do so. Employers have established broad rights to use technology to gather data on workers and their performance, to exclude others from accessing that data, and to use that data to refine their managerial strategies. Through these means, companies have suppressed workers' ability to organize and unionize, thereby driving down wages and eroding working conditions. Labor law today encourages employer dominance in many ways—but labor law can also be reformed to become a tool...

Future Politics

Autor: Jamie Susskind

Número de Páginas: 527

Future Politics confronts one of the most important questions of our time: how will digital technology transform politics and society? The great political debate of the last century was about how much of our collective life should be determined by the state and what should be left to the market and civil society. In the future, the question will be how far our lives should be directed and controlled by powerful digital systems - and on what terms? Jamie Susskind argues that rapid and relentless innovation in a range of technologies - from artificial intelligence to virtual reality - will transform the way we live together. Calling for a fundamental change in the way we think about politics, he describes a world in which certain technologies and platforms, and those who control them, come to hold great power over us. Some will gather data about our lives, causing us to avoid conduct perceived as shameful, sinful, or wrong. Others will filter our perception of the world, choosing what we know, shaping what we think, affecting how we feel, and guiding how we act. Still others will force us to behave certain ways, like self-driving cars that refuse to drive over the speed limit. Those ...

Personal Identity and the European Court of Human Rights

Autor: Jill Marshall

Número de Páginas: 338

In this new and burgeoning field in legal and human rights thought, this edited collection explores, by reference to applied philosophy and case law, how the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has developed and presented a right to personal identity, largely through interpretation of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Divided into three parts, the collection interrogates: firstly, the construction of personal identity rights at the ECtHR; secondly, whose identity rights are protected; and thirdly, the limits of identity rights. The collection is the first in the Routledge Studies in Law and Humanity series. Contributions from nine leading and emerging legal scholars from the UK, Ireland and continental Europe explore how the right has developed, rights to identity and marriage, LGBTI+, persons with disabilities, religious and cultural issues and critical perspectives on the social construction and framing of the right. The collection is primarily aimed at scholars and advanced students, particularly of human rights law and its theory, Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law, and those interested in ECtHR jurisprudence, and those interested in the connection...

Unlocking Consciousness: Lessons From The Convergence Of Computing And Cognitive Psychology

Autor: Charles T Ross

Número de Páginas: 387

In order to bridge the gap between artificial and synthetic intelligence, we must first understand our own intelligence. 'What is intelligence?' might appear as a simple question, but many great minds have agreed that there is no singular answer. Unlocking Consciousness attempts to examine this central question through exploring the convergence of computing, philosophy, cognitive neuroscience and biogenetics.The book is the first of its kind to compare comprehensive definitions of both information and intelligence, an essential component to the advancement of computing into the realms of artificial intelligence. In examining explanations for intelligence, consciousness, memory and meaning from the perspective of a computer scientist, it offers routes that can be taken to augment natural and artificial intelligence, improving our own individual abilities, and even considering the potential for creating a prosthetic brain.Unlocking Consciousness demonstrates that understanding intelligence is not just for the benefit of computer scientists, it is also of great value to those working in evolutionary, molecular and systems biology, cognitive neuroscience, genetics and biotechnology....

How to Be Human in the Digital Economy

Autor: Nicholas Agar

Número de Páginas: 231

An argument in favor of finding a place for humans (and humanness) in the future digital economy. In the digital economy, accountants, baristas, and cashiers can be automated out of employment; so can surgeons, airline pilots, and cab drivers. Machines will be able to do these jobs more efficiently, accurately, and inexpensively. But, Nicholas Agar warns in this provocative book, these developments could result in a radically disempowered humanity. The digital revolution has brought us new gadgets and new things to do with them. The digital revolution also brings the digital economy, with machines capable of doing humans' jobs. Agar explains that developments in artificial intelligence enable computers to take over not just routine tasks but also the kind of “mind work” that previously relied on human intellect, and that this threatens human agency. The solution, Agar argues, is a hybrid social-digital economy. The key value of the digital economy is efficiency. The key value of the social economy is humanness. A social economy would be centered on connections between human minds. We should reject some digital automation because machines will always be poor substitutes for...

Computational Engineering of Historical Memories

Autor: Andrea Nanetti

Número de Páginas: 132

Nanetti outlines a methodology for deploying artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance historical research. Historical events are the treasure of human experiences, the heritage that societies have used to remain resilient and express their identities. Nanetti has created and developed an interdisciplinary methodology supported by practice-based research that serves as a pathway between historical and computer sciences to design and build computational structures that analyse how societies create narratives about historical events. This consilience pathway aims to make historical memory machine-understandable. It turns history into a computational discipline through an interdisciplinary blend of philological accuracy, historical scholarship, history-based media projects, and computational tools. Nanetti presents the theory behind this methodology from a humanities perspective and discusses its practical application in user interface and experience. An essential read for historians and scholars working in the digital humanities.

La estética geopolítica

Autor: Fredric Jameson

Número de Páginas: 260

A través de ejemplos contemporáneos procedentes de los Estados Unidos, Rusia, Taiwan, Francia y Filipinas, el presente libro ofrece, a la vez, una interpretación de algunos de los filmes más interesantes de las décadas de los 70 y 80, y un análisis general de la representación fílmica en el mundo posmoderno. Lo más importante es que las interpretaciones de Jameson, siempre apoyadas en una base teórica, acaban utilizando filmes absolutamente dispares para abordar problemas de representación similares: de Pasión, de Godard, a Todos los hombres del presidente, de Pakula, pasando por trabajos de los prácticamente desconocidos Yang, Tahimik o Sokurov. Las soluciones varían considerablemente, pero el itinerario propuesto sigue siendo el mismo: el deseo de hallar alegorías adecuadas para nuestra existencia social. Así, el libro, que amplía y desarrolla argumentos muy típicos de Jameson, resulta ser una lectura básica para todo aquel que se interese tanto por el análisis fílmico como por los estudios culturales.
