These strange new minds : how AI learned to talk and what it means / by Summerfield, Christopher,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 349-360) and index.Part 1. How did we get here? -- part 2. What is a language model? -- part 3. Do language models think? -- part 4. What should a language model say? -- part 5. What could a language model do? -- part 6. Are we all doomed?"An insider look at the Large Language Models (LLMs) that are revolutionizing our relationship to technology, exploring their surprising history, what they can and should do for us today, and where they will go in the future--from an AI pioneer and neuroscientist. In this accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative examination of the world's most radical technology, neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield explores what it really takes to build a brain from scratch. We have entered a world in which disarmingly human-like chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude and Bard, appear to be able to talk and reason like us--and are beginning to transform everything we do. But can AI 'think', 'know' and 'understand'? What are its values? Whose biases is it perpetuating? Can it lie and if so, could we tell? Does their arrival threaten our very existence? These Strange New Minds charts the evolution of intelligent talking machines and provides us with the tools to understand how they work and how we can use them. Ultimately, armed with an understanding of AI's mysterious inner workings, we can begin to grapple with the existential question of our age: have we written ourselves out of history or is a technological utopia ahead?"--

Future minds : the rise of intelligence, from the big bang to the end of the universe / by Yonck, Richard,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 339-361) and index."For readers of Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking, an epic journey through the intelligent universe. With the ongoing advancement of AI and other technologies, our world is becoming increasingly intelligent. From chatbots to innovations in brain-computer interfaces to the possibility of superintelligences leading to the Singularity later this century, our reality is being transformed before our eyes. This is commonly seen as the natural result of progress, but what if there's more to it than that? What if intelligence is an inevitability, an underlying property of the universe? In Future Minds, Richard Yonck challenges our assumptions about intelligence--what it is, how it came to exist, its place in the development of life on Earth and possibly throughout the cosmos. Taking a Big History perspective--over the 14 billion years from the Big Bang to the present and beyond--he draws on recent developments in physics and complexity theory to explore the questions: Why do pockets of increased complexity develop, giving rise to life, intelligence, and civilization? How will it grow and change throughout this century, transforming both technology and humanity? As we expand outward from our planet, will we discover other forms of intelligence, or will we conclude we are destined to go it alone? Any way we look at it, the nature of intelligence in the universe is becoming a central concern for humanity. Ours. Theirs. And everything in between"--

Human + machine : reimagining work in the age of AI / by Daugherty, Paul R.,author.(CARDINAL)792636; Wilson, H. James,author.(CARDINAL)542970;
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we work right now. Are you ready? In the past, robots were typically large pieces of machinery, sectioned off from human workers to perform precise, mechanical tasks on an assembly line. But now, bots and other AI technologies go far beyond this in augmenting human capabilities--not just robots on the factory floor of an auto plant, but algorithms in the back office of a healthcare insurer and chatbots interacting with retail customers. Unlike any softwaretool or service that's come before, artificial intelligence has the power to profoundly change the very nature of work itself--and this is happening in all kinds of enterprises and across all functions of the organization. There's a current and growing imperative: businesses that understand how to harness AI can surge ahead, while those who neglect it are in danger of being left behind. In Human + Machine, Accenture technology leaders H. James Wilson and Paul R. Daugherty vividly illustrate how AI is redefining work and the economy. At the core of this paradigm shift is the transformation of business processes--all the step-by-step tasks that take place within an organization, from operations to customer service to workers' own personal productivity habits. As humans and smart machines collaborate ever more closely, work processes become more fluid and adaptive, enabling companies to change them on the fly--or completely reimagine them.--

Supremacy : AI, ChatGPT, and the race that will change the world / by Olson, Parmy,author.(CARDINAL)401248;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Prologue -- Act 1: The dream. High school 3 -- Winning, winning, winning -- Save the humans -- A better brain -- For utopia, for money -- The mission -- Act 2: The leviathans. Playing games -- Everything is awesome -- The goliath paradox -- Act 3: The bills. Size matters -- Bound to big tech -- Myth busters -- Act 4: The race. Hello, ChatGPT -- A vague sense of doom -- Checkmate -- In the shadow of monopolies -- Acknowledgments -- Sources -- Index."In November of 2022, a webpage was posted online with a simple text box. It was an AI chatbot called ChatGPT, and was unlike any app people had used before. It was more human than a customer service agent, more convenient than a Google search. Behind the scenes, battles for control and prestige between the world's two leading AI firms, OpenAI and DeepMind, who now steers Google's AI efforts, has remained elusive - until now. In Supremacy, Olson, tech writer at Bloomberg, tells the astonishing story of the battle between these two AI firms, their struggles to use their tech for good, and the hazardous direction they could go as they serve two tech monopolies whose power is unprecedented in history. The story focuses on the continuing rivalry of two key CEOs at the center of it all, who cultivated a religion around their mission to build god-like super intelligent machines: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind. Supremacy sharply alerts readers to the real threat of artificial intelligence that its top creators are ignoring: the profit-driven spread of flawed and biased technology into industries, education, media and more. With exclusive access to a network of high-ranking sources, Parmy Olson uses her 13 years of experience covering technology to bring to light the exploitation of the greatest invention in human history, and how it will impact us all."--

Read by Stacy Carolan and January LaVoy.Sound files.Set at a summer rental on the Chesapeake Bay, a riveting family drama about moral responsibility in the age of artificial intelligence, from the bestselling author of the "wise and addictive" (New York Times) The Gifted School. When the Cassidy-Shaws' autonomous minivan collides with an oncoming car, seventeen-year-old Charlie is in the driver's seat, with his father, Noah, riding shotgun. In the back seat, tweens Alice and Izzy are on their phones, while their mother, Lorelei, a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence, is absorbed in her work. Yet each family member harbors a secret that implicates them in the accident. During a weeklong recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay, the family confronts the excruciating moral dilemmas triggered by the crash. Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation jeopardizes Charlie's future. Alice and Izzy turn strangely furtive. And Lorelei's odd behavior tugs at Noah's suspicions that there is a darker truth behind the incident-suspicions heightened by the sudden intrusion of Daniel Monet, a tech mogul whose mysterious history with Lorelei hints at betrayal. When Charlie falls for Monet's teenaged daughter, the stakes are raised even higher in this propulsive family drama that is also a fascinating exploration of the moral responsibility and ethical consequences of AI. Culpability explores a world newly shaped by chatbots, autonomous cars, drones, and other nonhuman forces in ways that are thrilling, challenging, and unimaginably provocative.Adult.Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.Title from Playaway label.

Artificial : a love story / by Kurzweil, Amy,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)466796;
A visionary story of three generations of artists whose search for meaning and connection transcends the limits of life. How do we relate to--and hold--our family's past? Is it through technology? Through spirit? Art, poetry, music? Or is it through the resonances we look for in ourselves? In Artificial, we meet the Kurzweils, a family of creators who are preserving their history through unusual means. At the center is renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who has long been saving the documents of his deceased father, Fredric, an accomplished conductor and pianist from Vienna who fled the Nazis in 1938. Once, Fred's life was saved by his art: an American benefactor, impressed by Fred's musical genius, sponsored his emigration to the United States. He escaped just one month before Kristallnacht. Now, Fred has returned. Through AI and salvaged writing, Ray is building a chatbot that writes in Fred's voice, and he enlists his daughter, cartoonist Amy Kurzweil, to help him ensure the immortality of their family's fraught inheritance. Amy's deepening understanding of her family's traumatic uprooting resonates with the creative life she fights to claim in the present, as Amy and her partner, Jacob, chase jobs, and each other, across the country. Kurzweil evokes an understanding of accomplishment that centers conversation and connection, knowing and being known by others. With Kurzweil's signature humanity and humor, in boundary-pushing, gorgeous handmade drawings, Artificial guides us through nuanced questions about art, memory, and technology, demonstrating that love, a process of focused attention, is what grounds a meaningful life. --

Work without jobs : how to reboot your organization's work operating system / by Jesuthasan, Ravin,1968-author.; Boudreau, John W.,author.(CARDINAL)195053;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Series Foreword -- Introduction : Work without Jobs Is the New Work Operating System -- Work as Deconstructed Job Elements versus Stable Jobs -- Work Automation Deconstructed : Not Replacing Jobs with Automation but Optimizing Task-Level Combinations of Humans and Automation -- Work Arrangements beyond Employment : A Democratized Work Ecosystem beyond the Fixed Traditional Organizational Boundary -- Deconstructed Workers : Seeing the Whole Person through Skills/Capabilities versus Simply "Jobholders" -- Perpetually Reinventing Deconstructed Work -- Management, Leadership, and Deconstructed Work Coordination : Collaborative Hubs, Teams, Projects, and Agile Work Innovation versus Hierarchy, Structure, Jobs, and Stable Authority -- The New Work Operating System beyond the Organization -- Conclusions and Next StepsWork is traditionally understood as a "job," and workers as "jobholders." Jobs are structured by titles, hierarchies, and qualifications. In Work without Jobs, a Wall Street Journal bestseller, Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau propose a radically new way of looking at work. They describe a new "work operating system" that deconstructs jobs into their component parts and reconstructs these components into more optimal combinations that reflect the skills and abilities of individual workers. In a new normal of rapidly accelerating automation, demands for organizational agility, efforts to increase diversity, and the emergence of alternative work arrangements, the old system based on jobs and jobholders is cumbersome and ungainly. Jesuthasan and Boudreau's new system lays out a roadmap for the future of work. Work without Jobs presents real-world cases that show how leading organizations are embracing work deconstruction and reinvention. For example, when a robot, chatbot, or artificial intelligence takes over parts of a job while a human worker continues to do other parts, what is the "job"? DHL found some answers when it deployed social robotics at its distribution centers. Meanwhile, the biotechnology company Genentech deconstructed jobs to increase flexibility, worker engagement, and retention. Other organizations achieved agility with internal talent marketplaces, worker exchanges, freelancers, crowdsourcing, and partnerships. It's time for organizations to reboot their work operating system, and Work without Jobs offers an essential guide for doing so. -- Provided by publisher."A practical guide for business leaders to rethink work so that it is organized around "tasks" more than "jobs.""--

Code dependent : living in the shadow of AI / by Murgia, Madhumita,author.(CARDINAL)895111;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 280-300) and index.Introduction -- Your livelihood -- Your body -- Your identity -- Your health -- Your freedom -- Your safety net -- Your boss -- Your rights -- Your future -- Your society -- Epilogue."On the surface, a doctor in rural India, a food delivery worker in Pittsburgh, and an activist exiled from China have nothing in common. Yet their lives are linked by their unexpected encounters with artificial intelligence, from technology that marks children as future criminals to an app that is helping to give diagnoses to a remote tribal community. In Code Dependent, Madhumita Murgia shows how automated systems are reshaping our lives all over the world. AI has already infiltrated our day-to-day existences through social media algorithms and language-generating chatbots such as ChatGPT. But it's also affecting us in more insidious ways. It touches everything from our interpersonal relationships to our kids' education, our work, finances, public services, and even our human rights. By highlighting the voices of ordinary people in places far removed from Silicon Valley, Code Dependent explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals and wider society. It also reveals the immense power a small group of companies in Northern California exerts over communities and governments worldwide. The ways in which algorithms and their effects are governed in the coming years will profoundly impact us all. Yet we cannot agree on a common path forward. We cannot decide what preferences and morals we want to encode in these entities--or what controls we may want to impose on them. We are collectively relinquishing our moral authority to machines. Madhumita Murgia's brilliant book not only sheds light on this chilling phenomenon but also charts a path of resistance. AI is already changing what it means to be human, in ways large and small, and Murgia reveals what could happen if we fail to reclaim our humanity."--
