Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the pioneer of translation AIs like Google, Yahoo, and Bing translate, an accessible and authoritative guide to AIas well as a framework of empowerment for a future with our artificial children.Included in J.P. Morgan's Summer Reading List Included in The Next Big Idea Club's June 2025 M…ust-Read BooksIn his new book, AI trailblazer De Kai explores how widespread use of AI is bringing about an automation of thought, impacting our unconscious. He brings decades of his paradigm-shifting work at the nexus of AI and society to help audiences make sense of our interactions with AI at both personal and societal levelsethically and responsibly.What should each of us do as the responsible adults in the room In Hollywood movies, AI destroys humanity. But under the influence of AI upon our minds, humanity may destroy humanity before AI even gets a chance.Plainspoken and visionary, Raising AI guides us through our shifting attitudes and ideas in a world of AI cohabitants. Society can not only survive the AI revolution but flourish in a more humane, compassionate, and understanding world where we all play our partalongside our artificial children.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A new, annotated edition of Jules Verne's classic, which considers the past, present, and future of spaceflight from scientific as well as humanistic angles.In an age when the idea of a "planet B" seems tempting, this edition of Jules Verne's classic From the Earth to the Moon (1865) offers a… complete and unabridged translation into English alongside extensive annotations and essays from contributors that span disciplines. It uses the prescient novel as a launching pad to consider the past, present, and future of spaceflight from scientific, humanistic, social, legal, and ethical angles.Jules Verne is often considered a founder of the science fiction genre and a technological prophet who anticipated many modern-day technologiesincluding a moonshot launching from Florida with a trio of astronauts almost exactly a century before it happened. Verne didn't just dream up cool gadgets: He innovatively combined the scientific and the literary to write his scientific romances. He also thought deeply about the relationship between the technoscientific and the human at a time when the former was transforming human life on an unprecedented scale. Following in his footsteps, this annotated new edition bridges STEM and the humanities and sheds new light on this underappreciated classic by an iconic author.Essays by Samit Basu, Jordan Bimm, Erika Nesvold, Adam Oyebanji, Malka Older, Adam Roberts, and Asif Siddiqi.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How computer models became fundamental to political practicefrom winning elections to global affairsand how we imagine political futures as a computing problem.For more than six decades, the public has been promised that computers will revolutionize politics, both nationally and international…ly. In SimPolitics, Fenwick McKelvey traces the entwined history of politics and computers from the 1960s to the late 1980s. He shows how programmers, consultants, academics, political scientists, and peace activists all workedsometimes in tandem, sometimes notto build simulations to win campaigns, predict coups, forecast the future, and render politics as legible as a spreadsheet.Drawing on novel archival and historical research, McKelvey recounts the history of efforts to simulate politics by building models of elections, voters, and international relations. Comparing attempts in the United States to simulate domestic electoral politics and international affairs, he reveals the unexamined connections and conflicts between the two projects. His book provides a helpful guide to taking stock of exaggerated claims that AI and technology will fix politics, while presenting the long history of such promised technological fixes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How remunicipalization can be implemented to restructure urban governance.Across North America, Europe, and the Global South, public services such as water and energy that were once privatized have returned to public sector functionsan intriguing new development known as remunicipalization. U…nwinding Privatization, edited by Alba Alexander, Larry Bennett, Evan McKenzie, and Michael Pagano, explores the sources, scale, and implications of transferring ownership of public services and discusses its prospective impact on cities and metropolitan regions.At the heart of each service transfer is a crucial reconfiguration of power and responsibilitywho gets to participate in making central decisions and which incentives drive these decisions. This collection by leading urban scholars presents alternating perspectives on these shifts in governance, framing remunicipalization as both a pragmatic response to the inefficiencies of privatization and as a democratic resurgence driven by public demands for accountability and sustainability. Drawing on timely and geographically wide-ranging research, the editors assess the highly nuanced task of "unwinding privatization" and, in doing so, how we can achieve an optimal relationship of private to public power.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How statistical invariances will help us build AI systems exhibiting human-like performance by following human-like strategies.Current machine learning systems crumble when the distributions of training and testing examples differ in spurious correlations. This is a major roadblock toward the… development of advanced machine intelligence, which demands not only human-like performance but the deployment of human-like strategies. The prevalent approach in AI, fixated on recklessly minimizing average training error, falls short in producing AI systems capable of authentic out-of-distribution generalization. This book introduces the Invariance Principle, a new epistemological tool to unearth correlations invariant across diverse collections of empirical data.The Invariance Principle, encapsulated in the axiom "frame your problem so its answer matches across circumstances,' will not only find its practical incarnation in the family of Invariant Risk Minimization algorithms, but also illuminate our understanding of causation. It will permeate topics such as environment discovery, large-language models, self-supervised learning, mixing data augmentation, uncertainty estimation, and fairness. The author argues that the Invariance Principle is a central inductive bias fueling advances across fields of knowledge, such as physics, metaphysics, and cognitive science.The final chapter includes personal examples of how invariance has shaped the author's understanding of his own subjective experience, as well as how he has interpreted both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A collection that confronts the reality of experimental gravity, which is different from the conventionaland overly simplisticunderstanding.Investigating just over a century of experimental relativity, the individual essays in this volume place the process of experimental relativity within it…s historical contexts as an interdisciplinary endeavor. Testing Einstein embraces not only the individual tests of general relativity but also the fundamental nature of experimental physics: How are experimental breakthroughs accomplished, and why do they happen when they do An important driver of these breakthroughs is the advance (at times, the seemingly relentless advance) of experimental precision, especially in the often-neglected subfield of experimental gravity.Ever since Newton and Einstein introduced their respective theories of gravity, the field has been associated with experimental tests of fundamental theories. The scholars in this volume, edited by Brian Odom and Daniel Kennefick, shine a light on the complex iterative exchange between theory and experiment, and how even one of the most enigmatic and esoteric fields of intellectual pursuit remains weighed down by earthly constraints, including political, social, cultural, and philosophical factors.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A comprehensive, accessible treatment of fMRI neuroimaging, covering conceptual foundations, technical details, and contemporary applications.The growing prevalence of neuroimaging, particularly fMRI, poses a challenge. As an inherently technical enterprise, it requires a synthesis of biologi…cal, computational, statistical, and psychological expertise that spans many fields. Providing a much-needed comprehensive treatment of the subject designed for practitioners working with neuroimaging data as well as non-specialists, this textbook introduces the fundamentals of how fMRI works and the principles that underlie it.
