In To Be a Machine, journalist Mark O'Connell takes a headlong dive into this burgeoning movement.

INTRODUCTION: Technology & Digital Transformation in the 4th and 5th Industrial Transition and Revolutions REFLECT ON THIS: “Artificial Intelligence is a creation and design of machines (computers) to mimic, simulate and act and behave like the human brain. It will be therefore obviously unethical for the Artificial to totally replace the originally God created brain and abilities of humans.” HERE IS THE BALANCED APPROACH “The 5th Industrial Revolution emphasizes collaboration between humans and advanced technologies, with a focus on personalization, sustainability, and human-centric ...

En este libro, se le revelarán las formas de retirar las máscaras de las personas y observar de manera interrogativa a los individuos que se esconden debajo de ellas. A menudo nos encontramos fascinados con el arte de leer a las personas, probablemente impulsados por nuestro deseo y nuestra adicción al conocimiento. ¿Y qué puede ser más interesante y cautivador para la mente humana aparte de otra mente humana? Hay tantos tipos diferentes de personas, y cada individuo dentro de esas categorías actúa por sus propias razones únicas y motivaciones particulares.

The human race is caught in the crosshairs of twin threats stemming from exponential advances in technology. In Crisis of Control, Peter Scott lays out the stark choices and consequences facing us in clear, provocative, and sometimes humorous language.

No longer an uncertain technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence is starting to shape every aspect of our daily lives, from how we think to who we love.

The race to dominate the generative AI market is accelerating at breakneck speed, inspiring breathless headlines and immense public interest.

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.

What robot and AI systems are being built and imagined right now? What do they say about us, their creators? Will they usher in a fantastic new future, or destroy us?

For even as robots and AI intrigue us and make us anxious about the future, our fascination with robots has always been about more than the potential of the technology.
