[ad_1] A thought-provoking examination of artificial intelligence and how it reshapes human values, trust, and power around the world.

Whether in medicine, money, or love, technologies powered by forms of artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly prominent role in our lives. As we cede more decisions to thinking machines, we face new questions about staying safe, keeping a job and having a say over the direction of our lives. The answers to those questions might depend on your race, gender, age, behavior, or nationality.

New AI technologies can drive cars, treat damaged brains and nudge workers to be more productive, but they also can threaten, manipulate, and alienate us from others. They can pit nation against nation, but they also can help the global community tackle some of its greatest challenges—from food crises to global climate change.

In clear and accessible prose, global trends and strategy adviser Olaf Groth, AI scientist and social entrepreneur Mark Nitzberg, along with seasoned economics reporter Dan Zehr, provide a unique human-focused, global view of humanity in a world of thinking machines.

Regulation of Innovative Technologies: Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing

<p>This book explores the regulation of emerging technologies. Developments such as bitcoin (based on blockchain technology), artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and other technical advances have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of everyday life. As with other significant occurrences, especially when coupled by financial rewards, there are the inevitable attempts to reap gains unlawfully. This book examines the legal and regulatory enactments that attempt to undermine the risks to society as well as the dangers to individual freedoms that the technologies present when abused by governmental and non-governmental authorities. Included are discussions of the dangers to the right of privacy posed by facial recognition, physical location tracking, automated license plate recognition (ALPR) and other evolving applications of technology. This book is an invaluable resource for those interested in the regulation of emerging technologies particularly as they relate to blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the most current advances in quantum computing. Emphasis is focused on invasion of privacy, particularly by government authorities, antitrust implications of private companies and the efforts of international entities to counter alleged abuses by them.</p><p></p> <br><br> Publisher ‏ : ‎ Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2022 edition (June 19, 2023) <br> Language ‏ : ‎ English <br> Paperback ‏ : ‎ 261 pages <br> ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 3031038711 <br> ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-3031038716 <br> Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 12.3 ounces <br> Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.83 x 0.59 x 8.27 inches <br>

Darwin among the Machines: The Evolution of Global Intelligence

As timely now as it was when it was first published in 1997, Darwin Among the Machines tells the story of humankind's long journey into the digital age. Historian of technology George Dyson traces the course of the information revolution, illuminating the lives and work of visionaries -- from Thomas Hobbes to John von Neumann -- who foresaw the development of artificial intelligence, artificial life, and artificial mind. Weaving a convincing, occasionally frightening narrative of the evolution of the global network, Dyson explores the limits of Darwinian evolution to suggest what lies ahead. Computer programs and worldwide networks are combining to produce an evolutionary theater in which the distinctions between nature and technology are increasingly obscured, he argues. We are living in the midst of an experiment -- one that echoes the prehistory of human intelligence and the origins of life. Now in a new paperback edition, this classic work on the emergence of collective mechanical intelligence will resonate for generations to come. <br><br> ASIN ‏ : ‎ 0465031625 <br> Publisher ‏ : ‎ Basic Books; 2nd edition (September 4, 2012) <br> Language ‏ : ‎ English <br> Paperback ‏ : ‎ 304 pages <br> ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 9780465031627 <br> ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0465031627 <br> Reading age ‏ : ‎ 13 years and up <br> Grade level ‏ : ‎ 8 and up <br> Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 10.9 ounces <br> Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.5 x 0.88 x 8.25 inches <br>
