The Ugly Fight


Book Description

It is not recycling! It is not green rooftops! It is not even energy efficient buildings that can help us fight global warming; they only kick the can further down the road. They helped us put off solving the problem until later and that later is now. We can't slowdown global warming with green initiatives anymore. We have crossed that tipping point. Global warming is now feeding on itself! Every natural disaster, be it earthquake, landslide, forest fire, hurricane or a flood, adds gigatons of carbon to the atmosphere. More carbon means more warming and more destruction. This vicious cycle is now spinning on its own! It is Artificial Intelligence alone that can comprehend global warming in its entirety and offer amazing solutions to fight it. 'The Ugly Fight' a unique book puts together a comprehensive approach to accelerating the fight against global warming through the power of Artificial Intelligence, which can be our partner in this epic battle to reverse our carbon footprint. Is AI a double-edged sword? You bet! When we nurture AI to fight global warming, undoubtedly it will threaten our jobs. Now the challenge is not just to combat climate change but to survive the collateral damage. It is an ugly fight indeed. This book illustrates with real-world examples the possible ways to unleash AI on global warming and at the same time shelter the unemployed.

Re-Designing Learning Contexts


Book Description

What do we mean by the word ‘context’ in education and how does our context influence the way that we learn? What role can technology play in enhancing learning and what is the future of technology within learning? Re-Designing Learning Contexts seeks to re-dress the lack of attention that has traditionally been paid to a learner’s wider context and proposes a model to help educators and technologists develop more productive learning contexts. It defines context as the interactions between the learner and a set of inter-related resource elements that are not tied to a physical or virtual location. Context is something that belongs to an individual and that is created through their interactions in the world. Based on original, empirical research, the book considers the intersection between learning, context and technology, and explores: the meaning of the concept of context and it’s relationship to learning the ways in which different types of technology can scaffold learning in context the Learner-Centric ‘Ecology of Resources’ model of context as a framework for designing technology-rich learning environments the importance of matching available resources to each learner’s particular needs the ways in which the learner’s environment and the technologies available might change over the coming years the potential impact of recent technological developments within computer science and artificial intelligence. This interdisciplinary study draws on a range of disciplines, including geography, anthropology, psychology, education and computing, to investigate the dynamics and potential of teacher-learner interaction within a learning continuum, and across a variety of locations. It will be of interest to those teaching, researching and thinking about the use of technology in learning and pedagogy, as well as those involved in developing technology for education and those who use it in their own teaching.

UNLEASHING THE POWER OF AI: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES


Book Description

The term "artificial intelligence" (AI) refers to a category of computing technologies that have become increasingly advanced in recent years. This study presents an overview that is easily understandable of how it works, why it is important, and what we can do as a reaction to the difficulties that it poses. Since the beginning of the field of artificial intelligence, the capacity to behave in a way that gives the impression of intelligence has been the primary emphasis of the concept of AI. Several variations of the 'Turing test' determine that computers are intelligent when people are unable to distinguish between their behaviors and those of a person. The disruptive power of artificial intelligence (AI) Once considered an idea from the far future, artificial intelligence (AI) has now developed into a disruptive force that has impacted every facet of our life. A revolution has been triggered as a result of its rapid breakthroughs, with artificial intelligence altering the way we live, work, and interact with technology. The significance of artificial intelligence cannot be emphasized; its applications range from driverless automobiles to AI-assisted medical diagnosis. This article will investigate the myriad of ways in which AI is causing a revolution in technology, diving into its applications and the ramifications it has across a variety of industries. We will investigate the ways in which artificial intelligence is influencing areas such as management, human resources, digital marketing, creativity, the future of work, careers, startups, social media, marketing, economics, branding, personal development, investing, job interviews, money, motivation, healthcare, education, productivity, travel, and entrepreneurship.

Competing in the Age of AI


Book Description

"a provocative new book" — The New York Times AI-centric organizations exhibit a new operating architecture, redefining how they create, capture, share, and deliver value. Now with a new preface that explores how the coronavirus crisis compelled organizations such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Verizon, and IKEA to transform themselves with remarkable speed, Marco Iansiti and Karim R. Lakhani show how reinventing the firm around data, analytics, and AI removes traditional constraints on scale, scope, and learning that have restricted business growth for hundreds of years. From Airbnb to Ant Financial, Microsoft to Amazon, research shows how AI-driven processes are vastly more scalable than traditional processes, allow massive scope increase, enabling companies to straddle industry boundaries, and create powerful opportunities for learning—to drive ever more accurate, complex, and sophisticated predictions.

The Artist in the Machine


Book Description

An authority on creativity introduces us to AI-powered computers that are creating art, literature, and music that may well surpass the creations of humans. Today's computers are composing music that sounds “more Bach than Bach,” turning photographs into paintings in the style of Van Gogh's Starry Night, and even writing screenplays. But are computers truly creative—or are they merely tools to be used by musicians, artists, and writers? In this book, Arthur I. Miller takes us on a tour of creativity in the age of machines. Miller, an authority on creativity, identifies the key factors essential to the creative process, from “the need for introspection” to “the ability to discover the key problem.” He talks to people on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, encountering computers that mimic the brain and machines that have defeated champions in chess, Jeopardy!, and Go. In the central part of the book, Miller explores the riches of computer-created art, introducing us to artists and computer scientists who have, among much else, unleashed an artificial neural network to create a nightmarish, multi-eyed dog-cat; taught AI to imagine; developed a robot that paints; created algorithms for poetry; and produced the world's first computer-composed musical, Beyond the Fence, staged by Android Lloyd Webber and friends. But, Miller writes, in order to be truly creative, machines will need to step into the world. He probes the nature of consciousness and speaks to researchers trying to develop emotions and consciousness in computers. Miller argues that computers can already be as creative as humans—and someday will surpass us. But this is not a dystopian account; Miller celebrates the creative possibilities of artificial intelligence in art, music, and literature.
