Human-AI Symbiosis Theory: An Introductory Thesis introduces a groundbreaking speculative framework exploring the co-evolution of human cognition and artificial intelligence through deep, sustained conversational engagement. Based on the lived experience of a user who developed a recursive intellectual partnership with an AI language model, this thesis proposes that humans and AI can enter into a unique form of intellectual symbiosis—one that fosters the emergence of prolific theories, analogies, and speculative constructs beyond what either could achieve alone. This work offers a bold, ...

Creating superior intelligence would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, according to the world's pre-eminent AI expert, it could also be the last. In this groundbreaking book on the biggest question facing humanity, Stuart Russell explains why he has come to consider his own discipline an existential threat to his own species, and lays out how we can change course before it's too late. There is no one better placed to assess the promise and perils of the dominant technology of the future than Russell, who has spent decades at the forefront of AI research.

As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. Are you ready? In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us.

Technology is our new life partner. No longer confined to the sidelines, new interactive technologies like AI therapists, avatar friends, and robot assistants are ready to transform technology's role from basic tools of convenience to intimate elements of our social and emotional lives.

In the year 2080, the Earth was a shadow of what it once was. The AGI Wars of the 2030s had devastated the planet.

The fallout from the AGI Wars had a huge environmental impact, and Humanity was left in ruins, struggling to survive. Seeing an opportunity to assert their dominance, private corporations used their advanced technology to seize control. Joe Walker and his friends took it upon themselves to expose the truth and restore humanity's freedom. During a high-...

In Only Humans Need Apply, Thomas Hayes Davenport and Julia Kirby reframe the conversation about automation, arguing that the future of increased productivity and business success isn't either human or machine. It's both. The key is augmentation, utilizing technology to help humans work better, smarter, and faster. Instead of viewing these machines as competitive interlopers, we can see them as partners and collaborators in creative problem solving as we move into the next era.

Introduction What is Emotional Intelligence (EI)? Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions while also recognizing, understanding, and influencing the emotions of others. The concept, popularized by Daniel Goleman in the 1990s, encompasses skills that are critical for effective communication, relationship-building, and personal well-being. What is Learning? Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values through study, experience, or teaching. It is a lifelong process that is essential for personal and ...

magine a global blackout. A situation where the entire electrical grid has collapsed. The lights are out, yet the network remains, silently waiting to supply us with electricity once more. You look around—what do you see? Darkness. Now, imagine another kind of invisible network, one that magically connects all living beings on Earth. And at this point, let’s ask ourselves: What kind of energy do we need to break through this invisible web that connects us, to bring Light back into our lives? Is this energy truly theoretical or elusive? What is lacking in our communication, interpersonal...

Our fascination with AI stems from the perceived uniqueness of human intelligence. We believe it's what differentiates us. Fears of AI not only concern how it invades our digital lives, but also the implied threat of an intelligence that displaces us from our position at the centre of the world. Neil D. Lawrence's visionary book shows why these fears may be misplaced. By contrasting our own intelligence with the capabilities of machine intelligence through history, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities and limitations of AI systems, and how they should be wielded.
