"This book argues that bibliography is the foundation of information science, an infrastructure with the power to address many of the most challenging issues in the field. Bibliographers establish what has been presented to us as records of what has been known, experienced, and desired, and they are responsible for assessing and safeguarding what has arrived in the present and for reproducing w…
"The authors of Machines Like Us explore what it would take to endow computers with the kind of common sense that humans depend on every day--critically needed for AI systems to be successful in the world and to become trustworthy"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"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.
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…
"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.
Experts from a range of disciplines explore how humans and artificial agents can quickly learn completely new tasks through natural interactions with each other. Humans are not limited to a fixed set of innate or preprogrammed tasks. We learn quickly through language and other forms of natural interaction, and we improve our performance and teach others what we have learned. Understanding the m…
"The holy grail of artificial intelligence research has been the achievement of artificial general intelligence. Since the inception of artificial intelligence, machines that can perform any task that a human might have been predicted to be imminent. Some people have been enthusiastic about this prospect, but others have been terrified. Both have been disappointed. In fact, despite all of the p…
Can games measure intelligence? How will artificial intelligence inform games of the future? In 'Playing Smart', Julian Togelius explores the connections between games and intelligence to offer a new vision of future games and game design. Video games already depend on AI. We use games to test AI algorithms, challenge our thinking, and better understand both natural and artificial intelligence.…
