Includes bibliographical references (pages 197-215) and index.The History of Artificial Intelligence -- Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) -- Likely Impact -- Future of Work -- Risks and Dangers -- Legal Status of GAIs -- Regulation, Public Policy, Global Competition -- Philosophical Issues and Implications.Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers. Have we finally discovered the holy grail of AI - machines that match or exceed human intelligence? Which industries and professions will thrive, and which will wither? What risks and dangers will it pose? How can we ensure that these systems respect our ethical principles? Will the benefits be broadly distributed or accrue to a lucky few? How will GAI alter our political systems and international conflicts? Are we merely a stepping stone to a new form of non-biological life, or are we just getting better at building useful gadgets?

Is the algorithm plotting against us? : a layperson's guide to the concepts, math, and pitfalls of AI / by Wenger, Kenneth,1983-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.List of illustrations -- Introduction: Living with lions - - Polarization and its consequences -- Hello, Panda! -- Answering an age-old question -- Intelligent discourse -- Conclusion: From chat rooms to chatbots."Artificial intelligence is all around us. Embedded in Alexa devices and Google Home products, it operates in our houses. It enhances our phones and our cars. AI makes decisions about what shows we should watch, what articles we should read, and what items we should buy. Before long, it will be combing through our medical history and making decisions about our health care. In some parts of the world, AI is being employed in court systems and in law enforcement. Though AI is everywhere, most of us don't understand it. We hardly know what it is, let alone how it affects us. As a result, fears of self-aware machines taking over the world obscure more pressing concerns we should address about the role AI already has in our lives. In *Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?*, AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at the heart of artificial intelligence. He celebrates the elegance and ingenuity of AI algorithms-and you don't need a computer science degree to follow along. No mere intellectual exercise, though, Wenger exposes AI's underpinnings so we may appreciate both its sophistication and shortfalls. The growing use of AI warrants all of us to consider certain questions and assume certain responsibilities. What does an AI-driven future look like? Will self-driving cars ever surpass human performance? Should AI be allowed in courthouses? What are the implications of AI's application in advertising? Wenger empowers readers to answer these questions for themselves, an essential step we all must take at a time when AI's hold on tech, society, and our imagination is only getting stronger"-- Provided by publisher.

How evolution explains everything about life : from Darwin's brilliant idea to today's epic theory / by New Scientist (Firm),Author(DLC)no2017156983;
How did we get here? It's the journey of a lifetime. All cultures have a creation story, but a little over 150 years ago Charles Darwin introduced a revolutionary new one. We, and all living things, exist because of the action of evolution on the first simple life form and its descendants. We now know that it has taken 3.8 billions of years of work by the forces of evolution to turn what was once a lump of barren rock into the rich diversity of into plants, animals and microbes that surround us. In the process, evolution has created all manner of useful adaptions, from biological computers (brains) to a system to capture energy from the sun (photosynthesis). But how does evolution actually work? In How Evolution Explains Everything, leading biologists and New Scientist take you on a journey of a lifetime, exploring the question of whether life is inevitable or a one-off fluke, and how it got kick-started. Does evolution have a purpose or direction? Are selfish genes really the driving force of evolution? And is evolution itself evolving?

Our final invention : artificial intelligence and the end of the human era / by Barrat, James.(CARDINAL)432729;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smart phone, it has the run of your house, and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. Though primitive today, 'intelligent' computer systems double in speed and power each year. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail -- human-level intelligence. Once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine. Through profiles of tech visionaries, industry watchdogs, and groundbreaking AI systems, James Barrat's Our Final Invention explores the perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with computers whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And more to the point: will they allow us to?"--"The Internet is usually considered a breakthrough in technological--and even social--progress. The promises that it holds for our future are discussed in terms of an utopian vision--intelligent, helpful robots; enhanced brain function; disease-and-famine ridding nanotechnology, and other positive benefits. But there's another, rarely discussed and far darker possibility. As Our Final Invention argues, we may be racing towards our own annihilation, as the military, academia, and corporate advances in artificial intelligence may lead to an uncontrollable new lifeform far smarter and more powerful than we can imagine. Advanced artificial intelligence might seem like a far-out science fiction story, but it is actually far closer than most of us realize. Bringing together the ideas of experts in a thoroughly accessible way and exposing the dark side to the vision presented in The Singularity is Near, Our Final Invention explores how the convergence of current developments in technology may lead to a catastrophic outcome within the next few years"--
