Do you need help navigating the rapidly evolving world of AI? This guide is designed to help you unlock the game-changing potential of artificial intelligence, no matter your starting point, with hands-on and interactive learning techniques. You're not alone if you're curious about AI but feel overwhelmed by the flood of information and lost in technical jargon, wondering how AI could impact your life or career. Many beginners face the same challenges. In fact, recent surveys show that over 60% of those interested in AI feel intimidated by its complexity.

One of the most peculiar and possibly unique features of humans is the vast amount of information we carry outside our biological selves. But in our rush to build the infrastructure for the 20 quintillion bits we create every day, we’ve failed to ask exactly why we’re expending ever-increasing amounts of energy, resources, and human effort to maintain all this data. Drawing on deep ideas and frontier thinking in evolutionary biology, computer science, information theory, and astrobiology, Caleb Scharf argues that information is, in a very real sense, alive - an aggregate lifeform.

A big-picture look at how the latest trends in information management and technology are impacting business models and innovation worldwide....

This audiobook is the first part of a trilogy to follow Software Wasteland. In Software Wasteland, we detailed the current poor state of application software development. We offered some tactical advice for reducing some of the worse of the excess. This is the first book in the "what to do instead" trilogy. From the age of punched cards to today's internet-driven systems, one thing has stayed fairly constant: software vendors and their implementers have been driving the enterprise IT industry. This is changing.

Most of us take for granted that our books are vertical on our shelves with the spines facing out, but Henry Petroski, inveterately curious engineer, didn’t. As a result, listeners are guided along the astonishing evolution from papyrus scrolls boxed at Alexandria to upright books shelved at the Library of Congress. Petroski takes us into the pre-Gutenberg world, when books were so scarce they were chained to lecterns for security.

Created for IT service managers, consultants, and other practitioners in IT governance, risk management, and compliance, this practical book discusses all the key concepts of COBIT® 5 and explains how to direct the governance of enterprise IT (GEIT) using the COBIT®5 framework. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in the IT sector, the author explains the main frameworks and standards supporting GEIT, discusses the ideas of enterprise and governance, and describes the path from corporate governance to the governance of enterprise IT.

If you buy a book at the bookstore, you own it. You can take it home, scribble in the margins, put it on the shelf, lend it to a friend, or sell it at a garage sale. But is the same thing true for the eBooks or other digital goods you buy? Retailers and copyright holders argue that you don't own those purchases, you merely license them. That means your eBook vendor can delete the book from your device without warning or explanation - as Amazon deleted Orwell's 1984 from the Kindles of surprised readers.

In "Information vs Data" Ira Warren Whiteside redefines how we perceive and utilize information and data in today's technological environment. This book integrates advanced concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) and business intelligence (BI) to demonstrate their impact on modern industries.

In this book, Lamdan contends that privatization and tech exceptionalism have prevented us from creating effective legal regulation. This, in turn, has allowed oversized information oligopolies to coalesce. In addition to specific legal and market-based solutions, Lamdan calls for treating information like a public good and creating digital infrastructure that supports our democratic ideals.

Our DANTES study guides are different! The Computing and Information Technology DANTES/DSST Test Study Guide teaches you everything that you need to know to pass the DSST test. This is a replacement for the Introduction to Computing Test, which was renamed as Computing and Information Technology.

Demystifying IT has been hailed as the one book about information technology that leaders of midsized companies should listen to. Given the importance of IT in today’s world, it might also be the most timely and valuable business book of any kind to be published recently. The co-authors are masters of leveraging IT for creating sustainable competitive advantages for businesses. They’ve been at it for decades, solving problems that defied other experts, and leading digitization projects which have boosted client companies into new realms of growth and profit.

Now, in the face of the "Great Resignation" and "botsourcing," thought leaders Sanders and Wood present a more positive and promising scenario, where an enterprise recognizes human resources as an asset class that possesses skills that cannot be replaced by automation. Enlightened business leaders will look to create synergy between technology and people, enabling the organization to maximize its capabilities by elevating the basis of decision making with closer-to-perfect information and rationality.

Militaries with state-of-the-art information technology sometimes bog down in confusing conflicts. To understand why, it is important to understand the micro-foundations of military power in the information age - and this is exactly what Jon R. Lindsay's Information Technology and Military Power gives us. As Lindsay shows, digital systems now mediate almost every effort to gather, store, display, analyze, and communicate information in military organizations. He highlights how personnel now struggle with their own information systems, as much as with the enemy.

In the coming decades, artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize the way humans wage war. The military organizations that best innovate and adapt to this AI revolution will likely gain significant advantages over their rivals. To this end, great powers such as the United States, China, and Russia are already investing in novel sensing, reasoning, and learning technologies that will alter how militaries plan and fight. The resulting transformation could fundamentally change the character of war.

Alan Turing can be regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. But who was Turing, and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years? Best known as the genius who broke Germany's most secret codes during the war of 1939-45, Turing was also the father of the modern computer. Today, all who 'click-to-open' are familiar with the impact of Turing's ideas. Here, B. Jack Copeland provides an account of Turing's life and work, exploring the key elements of his life-story in tandem with his leading ideas and contributions.

Are you struggling to navigate the complexities of the ISO 27001:2022 standard? Look no further! This comprehensive guide, written by renowned cybersecurity expert Bruce Brown, CISSP, CGRC, is your ultimate companion to mastering the world of information security management.

At a mere 20 pages and a price tag of 135 EURO, it may not offer the depth and clarity you need.

Our data is besieged daily in the information economy, leading to hidden AI harms. Companies can do this because our laws are built on outdated ideas that trap lawmakers, regulators, and courts into wrong assumptions, resulting in ineffective approaches to one of the most pressing concerns of our generation. Drawing on behavioral science, social data science, and economics, this book dispels enduring misconceptions about AI-driven interactions. Its exploration offers a view of why current regulations fail to protect us against digital harms, particularly those created by AI.

Each of us has an ever-growing collection of personal digital data: documents, photographs, PowerPoint presentations, videos, music, emails, and texts sent and received. To access any of this, we have to find it. The ease (or difficulty) of finding something depends on how we organize our digital stuff.
