Book Description

Humans created a smart machine using their intelligence. Now, this machine is building even smarter machines on its own. This requires using available information effectively and having certain conditions in place. This whole process is commonly known as “Artificial Intelligence” or ‘AI.’ In computer science, AI is like the next step in human intelligence. The term ‘AI’ was coined in 1956. Initially, it was used to solve complex problems in 1950, and by 1960, the US Defence Department and DARPA Roads were using it in 1970, which was later used as an autonomous system in 2003. Modern technology has brought both benefits and challenges to human life. Contrary to what we see in action-packed movies, artificial intelligence is not as disruptive as portrayed. In reality, it holds a promising future for the world. Just imagine that your home is not just on land but also in the sea and in the sky. Self-driving cars, without driver are not only move on roads but also fly in the sky. Your personal, intimate space is not just on the computer screen but projected on any material or even on empty space, and it may not be so far-fetched that you can expect a healthy life for thousands of years. The Internet of the future will have the power to connect not only humans, goods and resources on Earth, but the Moon, Mars and indeed the entire galaxy. Does it sound like exaggeration? But if it comes directly in the near future, it shouldn’t be surprising. Because..

Book Description

Decision-making has been one of the principal victims of 'modern' thinking. The 'analytical' approach has, of course, brought us vaccines, electricity and the internal combustion engine. But, in seeking to break things down into their component parts and improve the parts, governments and businesses continue to make some astonishingly bad decisions. What's more, many enterprises still pay close attention to 'decisions' and 'decision-making' whilst overlooking the bigger picture: the organizational system within which those decisions get made. This elegant book is a guide for any public, private, government or non-profit organization that needs a system for making better decisions. It sets out to change our 'analytical' habit and invites enterprises to consider the bigger picture. Author Vince Barabba presents an elegantly simple approach to making better decisions. He calls this approach 'The Decision Loom' and bases it on Systems Thinking, Design Thinking and Complexity Theory. He also describes the four core capabilities that any organization must put in place for this approach to work. What's more (because we're humans and prefer stories to instruction manuals) the tapestry of the book is embroidered with fascinating examples from the author's lifetime of experience at the head of American corporate and public decision-making.
