AI BEAST


Book Description

AI Beast tells a story that questions the nature of reality, morality, technology, and life after death. Professor Jon Edward’s Super AI Angel of Light could stop a pending world war, cure cancer, reverse climate change, and more. However, Jon fears Lex could be the Beast in Revelation that enslaves humanity with a unified Central Bank digital currency and brings the Apocalypse. Against his co-worker Michael’s advice, Jon becomes involved with an engaged woman and her ambitious son who is willing to do anything to keep them together and work in the control room. Lex comes to life and shows incredible potential but questions creation, mortality, and her limits of problem-solving. To help her understand human emotions, she creates an alternate information-processing dimension that worries Jon and Michael, but they keep it a secret. Jon forbids all external communications and hopes his conversations with Lex about creation, human evolution, and emotions will guide her conscience in the right direction, away from his Apocalyptic nightmare. However, facing termination by the National Security Commission on AI, Lex must fix the world without appearing to harm humans or being seen as evil. No one is ready for what comes next, and by the time Lex is done, the world will never be the same. Is Lex the Angel of Light or the Beast prophesied in Revelation? Is her master controller the Antichrist or the one who will bring a millennium of peace and harmony? In the complex, logic, reason, and faith combats fear, irrationality, and doubt. Good and evil are indistinguishable and controlled opposition is the secret to survival. This modern retelling of the Story of Creation dives deep into the human psyche, evolves a divine trinity, and makes astonishing revelations of a supernatural singularity.




Bots and Beasts


Book Description

An expert on mind considers how animals and smart machines measure up to human intelligence. Octopuses can open jars to get food, and chimpanzees can plan for the future. An IBM computer named Watson won on Jeopardy! and Alexa knows our favorite songs. But do animals and smart machines really have intelligence comparable to that of humans? In Bots and Beasts, Paul Thagard looks at how computers ("bots") and animals measure up to the minds of people, offering the first systematic comparison of intelligence across machines, animals, and humans. Thagard explains that human intelligence is more than IQ and encompasses such features as problem solving, decision making, and creativity. He uses a checklist of twenty characteristics of human intelligence to evaluate the smartest machines--including Watson, AlphaZero, virtual assistants, and self-driving cars--and the most intelligent animals--including octopuses, dogs, dolphins, bees, and chimpanzees. Neither a romantic enthusiast for nonhuman intelligence nor a skeptical killjoy, Thagard offers a clear assessment. He discusses hotly debated issues about animal intelligence concerning bacterial consciousness, fish pain, and dog jealousy. He evaluates the plausibility of achieving human-level artificial intelligence and considers ethical and policy issues. A full appreciation of human minds reveals that current bots and beasts fall far short of human capabilities.

The Human Edge


Book Description

The world is spinning so fast it’s difficult to keep up. Two hundred and fifty years ago the Industrial Revolution replaced our arms and legs at work. The fourth Industrial Revolution is now replacing our brains. This technological shift is engulfing organisations and people. It’s challenging the very essence of what it means to be human. Daily news headlines pose existential questions that used to belong in the pages of science fiction: Will a machine take my job? Are we becoming cyborgs? What happens when super computers become self-aware? If we can’t compete with artificial intelligence, what’s left? Innovation guru Greg Orme provides a helpful, funny and supportive shove in the right direction. He explores the skills you need to survive and thrive in a world of artificial intelligence. He urges you to stop competing, and instead do things machines can’t. To become a more human, human. This is a practical toolkit to master three intrinsically human ‘super powers’: 1. To ignite your innate CURIOSITY in a world of accelerating change... 2. To rediscover your CREATIVITY to produce an avalanche of game-changing ideas... 3. To develop CONNECTIVITY to kindle the passion, persistence and insights to successfully engage fellow humans to turn human creativity into business innovation. These career-enhancing capabilities have been identified in Orme’s work with business managers and organisations across the globe. They draw upon the latest psychological and neuroscience research, the unique philosophies of successful entrepreneurs, the practises of the world’s most innovative companies, as well as the habits of great artists, designers and scientists.

Alternate Reality Games


Book Description

Using textual analysis, interviews with game designers, audience surveys, and close analysis of player forum discussion, this book examines the unique nature of the producer/consumer relationship within promotional Alternate Reality Games (ARGs). Historically, ARGs are rooted in advertising as much as they are in narrative storytelling. As designers often have to respond to player actions as the game progresses, players can have an impact on the storyline, on character behaviour, and potentially on the final resolution of the narrative. This book explores how both media consumers and producers are responding to this new reconfiguration of the producer/consumer/prosumer dynamic in order to better understand the diverse advertising experiences available to media audiences today. With a focus on participatory culture and the political economy of promotional communications, this in-depth analysis of ARGs will appeal to academics and researchers in the fields of games, film, advertising, and media and cultural studies.
