"Analyzing the transformation of photography by computation - and the transformation of human perception by algorithmically-driven images, from CGI to AI - The Perception Machine brings together media theory and neuroscience to understand what it means to live surrounded by image flows and machine eyes"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"If you want to know what artificial intelligence can do and what it cannot do, in this book you will find all the information that you need in an entertaining fashion. The book covers mysterious terms like algorithm and machine learning, in an approachable manner. It enables you to join the discussions on good and bad AI: Do we want machines to judge your face? Is image recognition by the comp…
"Is AI a force for ill or for good? How does it work? This book analyzes the potential of AI in many sectors, including global security"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"Chun investigates the centrality of race, gender, class, and sexuality to "Big Data" and network analytics"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"A practical guide for research economists to navigate the non-research aspects of their work, including university service, mentorship, and grant writing"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
The power of the ever-increasing tools and algorithms for prediction and their paradoxical effects on risk. The Age of Prediction is about two powerful, and symbiotic, trends: the rapid development and use of artificial intelligence and big data to enhance prediction, as well as the often paradoxical effects of these better predictions on our understanding of risk and the ways we live. Beginnin…
A clear-eyed look at how AI can complement (rather than eliminate) human jobs, with real-world examples from companies that range from Netflix to Walmart. Descriptions of AI's possible effects on businesses and their employees cycle between utopian hype and alarmist doomsaying. This book from MIT Sloan Management Review avoids both these extremes, providing instead a clear-eyed look at how AI c…
A guide to computational thinking education, with a focus on artificial intelligence literacy and the integration of computing and physical objects. Computing has become an essential part of today's primary and secondary school curricula. In recent years, K-12 computer education has shifted from computer science itself to the broader perspective of computational thinking (CT), which is less abo…
An argument that--despite dramatic advances in the field--artificial intelligence is nowhere near developing systems that are genuinely intelligent.In this provocative book, Brian Cantwell Smith argues that artificial intelligence is nowhere near developing systems that are genuinely intelligent. Second wave AI, machine learning, even visions of third-wave AI: none will lead to human-level inte…
"This book sets the agenda for how we think about human activity that arises from embedding manipulated information in our action and embodied cognition"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
