AI for social good : using artificial intelligence to save the world / by Dodhia, Rahul,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Chapter 1 : A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence -- Chapter 2 : AI Explained: A Non-Technical Guide -- Chapter 3 : AI for Good -- Chapter 4 : AI for Good : Pursuit of Scientific Knowledge -- Chapter 5 : When Good AI Goes Bad -- Chapter 6 : Putting Safeguards Around AI -- Chapter 7 : Getting the Best Out of Your AI Team -- Chapter 8 : The Future"Understand the real power of AI and embrace this new technology to shape the future for the better AI For Social Good bridges the gap between the current state of reality and the incredible potential of AI to change the world. From humanitarian and environmental concerns to advances in art and science, every area of life stands poised to make a quantum leap into the future. The problem? Too few of us really understand how AI works and how to integrate it into our policies and projects. In this book, Rahul Dodhia, Deputy Director of Microsoft's AI for Good Research Lab, offers a nontechnical exploration of artificial intelligence tools--how they're built, what they can and can't do, and the raw material that teaches them what they "know." Readers will also find an inventory of common challenges they might face when integrating AI into their work. Written for policymakers, project managers, and nontechnical leaders who work alongside AI scientists, AI For Social Good provides an overview of how AI became such an important phenomenon, how AI scientists create artificially intelligent systems, and how AI can be used ethically (or unethically) to transform society. You'll also find a discussion of how governments can become more flexible, helping regulations keep up with the fast pace of change in technology."--

Minecraft : the unlikely tale of Markus "Notch" Persson and the game that changed everything / by Goldberg, Daniel,1982-author.(CARDINAL)404056; Larsson, Linus,author.(CARDINAL)500880; Hawkins, Jennifer(Translator),translator.(CARDINAL)612199;
His whole life, all Markus Persson wanted to do was create his own games. Create his own games and get rich. Then in 2009 a strange little project of his quickly grew into a worldwide phenomenon and, in just a few short years, turned its maker into an international icon. Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus "Notch" Persson and the Game that Changed Everything is a Cinderella story for the Internet age--improbable success, fast money, and the power of digital technology to shake up a rock-solid industry. It's a story about being lost and finding your way, of breaking the rules and swimming against the current. It's about how the indie gaming scene rattled the foundations of corporate empires. But, above all, this is the story of how a creative genius chased down a crazy dream: the evolution of a shy amateur programmer into a video game god. For this second edition, the story has been enriched with more Minecraft than ever--a new section describes Minecraft's sale to Microsoft, Notch's less than heartwarming last day in the office, and Mojang's final days of independence.
