Final Jeopardy : man vs. machine and the quest to know everything / by Baker, Stephen,1955 November 15-(CARDINAL)491290;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-268).The germ of the Jeopardy machine -- And representing the humans-- -- Blue J is born -- Educating Blue J -- Watson's face -- Watson takes on humans -- AI -- A season of jitters -- Watson looks for work -- How to play the game -- The match.Researchers at IBM launched a billion-dollar project to develop a machine that could compete in the quiz show Jeopardy--and win. The machine faced off in a high-ratings match against two former champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Journalist Stephen Baker carries readers on a captivating journey from the IBM labs to the showdown in Hollywood. The story features brilliant Ph.D.s, Hollywood moguls, knowledge-obsessed Jeopardy masters--and a very special collection of silicon and circuitry named Watson. It was a classic match of Man vs. Machine, not seen since the chess-playing computer Deep Blue bested the world's reigning grandmaster, Garry Kasparov. And Watson needed to do more than churn through chess moves or find a relevant Web page--it had to understand language, including puns and irony, and master everything from history and literature to science, arts, and entertainment.--Adapted from publisher description.

Microsoft Copilot pro : step by step / by Crosbie, Lisa,author.;
1: Introduction to Copilot Pro -- 2: Writing effective prompts for Copilot -- 3: Copilot on the Web -- 4: Copilot mobile app -- 5: Copilot in Excel -- 6: Copilot in Outlook -- 7: Copilot in Word -- 8: Copilot in PowerPoint -- 9: Copilot in one note.Copilot Pro enables you to be more creative and productive, but using generative AI requires a whole new way of thinkingmost users try once or twice, get poor results and give up. This book teaches them what they don't know and helps them get started with the right skills. Copilot Pro adds generative AI experiences into the most used Microsoft applications, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote, enabling users to be more productive and creative by generating first drafts, editing and improving their work, easily understanding and finding pieces of information in large documents, and gaining new insights. It also allows users to generate text and images in a browser and via a mobile app, using the latest AI models. This is a completely new way of thinking and workinglike having your own personal "enthusiastic intern" working side by side with you every day to take on the mundane and time-consuming tasks, freeing you up for more interesting and creative work. Generative AI has been everywhere in the media, with a huge hype cycle, but most everyday workers don't understand how it can be applied to their day-to-day work in a practical and transformative way.

Prompt engineering for generative AI : future-proof inputs for reliable AI outputs at scale / by Phoenix, James(Computer engineer),author.; Taylor, Mike(Computer engineer),author.;
Large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion have unprecedented potential. Because they have been trained on all the public text and images on the internet, they can make useful contributions to a wide variety of tasks. And with the barrier to entry greatly reduced today, practically any developer can harness LLMs and diffusion models to tackle problems previously unsuitable for automation. With this book, you'll gain a solid foundation in generative AI, including how to apply these models in practice. When first integrating LLMs and diffusion models into their workflows, most developers struggle to coax reliable enough results from them to use in automated systems. Authors James Phoenix and Mike Taylor show you how a set of principles called prompt engineering can enable you to work effectively with AI. --

Who wrote this? : how AI and the lure of efficiency threaten human writing / by Baron, Naomi S.,author.(CARDINAL)511712;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-300) and index.Prologue : human writers meet the AI language sausage machine -- The journey to literacy -- Why humans write, and rewrite -- English comp and Its aftermath -- The dream of language machines -- The natural language processing sausage machine -- Machine translation rises again -- Machines emerge as authors -- AI comes for the writing professions -- The creative side of AI -- AI as Jeeves -- Human-AI symbiosis -- Do we always welcome AI? -- Coda : why human authorship matters."Would you read this book if a computer wrote it? Would you even know? And why would it matter? Today's eerily impressive artificial intelligence writing tools present us with a crucial challenge: As writers, do we unthinkingly adopt AI's time-saving advantages or do we stop to weigh what we gain and lose when heeding their siren call? To understand how AI is redefining what it means to write and think, linguist and educator Naomi Baron leads us on a journey connecting the dots between human literacy and today's technology. From nineteenth century lessons in composition, to mathematician Alan Turing's work creating a machine for deciphering war-time messages, to contemporary engines like ChatGPT, Baron gives readers a spirited overview of the emergence of both literacy and AI, and a glimpse of their possible future. As the technology becomes increasingly sophisticated and fluent, it's tempting to take the easy way out and let AI do the work for us. Baron cautions that such efficiency isn't always in our interest. As AI plies us with suggestions or full-blown text, we risk losing not just our technical skills but the power of writing as a springboard for personal reflection and unique expression. Funny, informed, and conversational, Who Wrote This? urges us as individuals and as communities to make conscious choices about the extent to which we collaborate with AI. The technology is here to stay. Baron shows us how to work with AI and how to spot where it risks diminishing the valuable cognitive and social benefits of being literate"--
