The early-career professional's guide to generative AI : opportunities and challenges for an AI-enabled workforce / by Bjerg, Jonas,author.;

The world stands at a pivotal moment due to the emergence of Generative AI, specifically ChatGPT. This groundbreaking technology has provoked and impressed almost every industry globally, evoking every emotion from awe to anxiety. Many are apprehensive about the future, fearing job losses due to rapid artificial intelligence (AI advancements). But if history has taught us anything, progress, while challenging, often paves the way for broader opportunities and growth. This book explains in depth the core building blocks that make up the current landscape of transformer and language models and, more broadly speaking, AI as a whole. We have seen how the internet and the mobile revolution changed our world. Is AI following a similar trajectory? Are we on the verge of something even more transformative? This book strives to provide a complete picture of the challenges and opportunities and the implications for our shared futures. In subsequent chapters, the book will discuss language models in depth. These are not just algorithms; they represent a nexus of linguistics, cognitive science, and cutting-edge technology. You'll trace AI's unexpected and exhilarating evolution, observing how it has grown from a mere concept to a force reshaping entire industries. Finally, you'll consider the rise of AI in the context of advancements. While ChatGPT has gained significant attention for certain applications, it's essential to recognize that its capabilities extend far beyond what's immediately evident. Artificial Intelligence, represented by models like ChatGPT, is not a static field. It's dynamic and ever-evolving, and its potential applications are broadening each day. Technology is not, by any means, limited to chatbots or translation use cases. This book captures this vast and ever-expanding horizon of possibilities. --

The language game : how improvisation created language and changed the world / by Christiansen, Morten H.,1963-author.; Chater, Nick,author.(CARDINAL)647323;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Think about the game charades. Its rules are simple: no talking, of course, and little else. Each time we play with a new group, we have to figure each other out, with our different styles, backgrounds, and senses of the world, as we struggle to connecthow we would act out something (say, Christopher Columbus crossing the Atlantic) with how other people might understand it. But as we play, a lingo can develop-with time, an upheld hand, bobbing along, might not just come to represent the ship on the Santa Maria, but a vast range of possibilities, including both conceptual ones such as exploration or trade, actions like sailing, or even a place like India or Santo Domingo. Almost from nothing, the players can create something like a language. Such nearlyrule-less games are a hallmark of the human species: testament not just to our intelligence, but our flexibility of mind as well as our desires to cooperate, to understand, and to be understood. In The Language Game, cognitive scientists Nick Chater and Morten Christiansen show games like charades reveal something more: where language comes from and how it works. Language is perhaps humanity's most astonishing traits, and one of its most studied, but as Chater and Christiansen, it has been our most poorlyunderstood. Several generations of scientists sought to understand how the rules of language could be hardwired in the brain. It was a colossal mistake. Chater and Christiansen show that language is hardly about rules at all, let alone those welded intoour brain by evolution, but rather about near-total freedom, where the only real constraints are our imaginations and our desire to be understood. And with that as the point of departure, they are able to find compelling solutions to old riddles and new puzzles, including why chimpanzees don't understand pointing fingers; whether having two words for "blue" changes what we see; why Danish is so much harder to learn than Norwegian; how words change meanings; and whether computers will ever truly understanda human. The Language Game will bewitch readers of classic books on mind and language, such as Douglas Hofstadter's Godel Escher Bach and John McWhorter's The Power of Babel, and find a welcome spot on the shelf of readers of Joseph Henrich's Weirdest People in the World and Frans de Waal's Mama's Last Hug. And like the game of charades, it will engage, amuse, and dazzle readers for years to come"--The Accidental Invention That Changed The World -- Language As Charades -- The Fleeting Nature Of Language -- The Unbearable Lightness Of Meaning -- Linguistic Order At The Edge Of Chaos -- Language Evolution Without Biological Evolution -- Following In Each Other's Footsteps -- Endless Forms Most Beautiful -- The Virtuous Circle: Brains, Culture, And Language -- Language Will Save Us From The Singularity.

Cameraman, Allan Palmer ; editor, Joe Frost ; composer, Paul Foss.Reporter: Robert MacNeil.Examines sociolinguistic questions and the dynamic state of American English, a language rich in regional variety, strong in global impact, and steeped in cultural controversy. Episode one discusses linguistic dialect zones, the tension between prescriptivism and descriptivism, the impact of dialect on grapholect, the northern cities vowel shift, the roots of African-American English, minority linguistic profiling, biases against nonstandard speech, and the general perception of the U.S. Midland dialect as "normal American." Looks at hip-hop street talk, IM slang, Pittsburghese, and Gullah and Geechee. Episode two reviews Southern dialects and accents and the influences of French and Spanish on American English. Examines regional differences in vernacular, the steady displacement of Southern coastal dialect by inland dialect, the accents of JFK and LBJ, and the Texas border town of El Cenizo, where Spanish is the official language. Episode three looks at Spanglish, Chicano, Ebonics, and "Surfer Dude." Discusses the implications of voice-activation technology, opinions on the role of Spanish in the U.S., why teens create their own language, gay self-empowerment by redefining discriminatory terms, the oo-fronting sound shift, and whether technology will reinforce or weaken racial and regional stereotypes.DVD-R.
