The Unseen World / by Moore, Liz,1983-author.(CARDINAL)481868;
"Ada Sibelius is raised by David, her brilliant, eccentric, socially inept single father, who directs a computer science lab in 1980s-era Boston. Home-schooled, Ada accompanies David to work every day; by twelve, she is a painfully shy prodigy. The lab begins to gain acclaim at the same time that David's mysterious history comes into question. When his mind begins to falter, leaving Ada virtually an orphan, she is taken in by one of David's colleagues. Soon after she embarks on a mission to uncover her father's secrets: a process that carries her from childhood to adulthood."--Provided by publisher.920L

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.

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.

Seeing science : the art of making the invisible visible / by Challoner, Jack,author.(CARDINAL)316020;
Includes index and bibliographical references.Introduction: the importance of seeing -- Making the invisible visible -- Microscopes and telescopes -- Photography and electron microscopes -- Beyond the visible spectrum -- Fields and particles -- Data, information, knowledge -- Visualizing data -- Communicating information -- Passing on knowledge -- mathematical models and simulations -- Mathematics as a model of reality -- Computational fluid dynamics -- Art in science -- Art and Science -- Paleoart -- Space art."We live among patterns of delicate beauty and exquisite chaos that our eyes can't detect; we are surrounded by invisible particles and shifting fields of matter that permeate all of space. Our very cells are intricate molecular machines, and the story of our origins stretches back through an unimaginable amount of time. How can we see the richness of what lies beyond our sensory perception? Scientists have developed visualization tools that can make the invisible visible. This bountifully illustrated book demonstrates the power of images to represent the unseeable, offering stunning visualizations of science that range from the microscopic to the incredibly vast. With more than 200 color images and an engaging text by leading science writer Jack Challoner, Seeing Science explains and illustrates the techniques by which scientists create visualizations of their discoveries. We see the first detection of a black hole as represented by an image from an Xray telescope, get a direct view of DNA through an electron microscope, and much more. Visualizations are also used to make sense of an avalanche of data--concisely presenting information from the 20,000 or so human genes, for example. Scientists represent complex theories in computer models, which take on a curious beauty of their own. And scientists and artists collaborate to create art from science visualizations, with intriguing results"--

The ultimate dictionary of all things digital / by Brandow, Annika,illustrator.(CARDINAL)867681;
Includes bibliographical references (page 57)."Help kids go full STEAM ahead into the digital landscape. Computer science is an essential part of today's curriculum, starting in elementary school. Learning the basics of computing and coding boosts kids' problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills while teaching them a subject that has real-life applications. Kids become tech proficient easily, and their malleable minds are quick to understand how to use software and basic processes. But no matter what field they choose to go into as adults, they will have to understand the realities of the ever-changing digital world-the way it is built and maintained, and the implications on everyday life. The Ultimate Dictionary of All Things Digital will combine definitions for the basics of computing and coding, as well as the big-picture issues-more complex terms that deal with safety, privacy, and abstract terminologies like algorithm bias, NFTs, the uncanny valley, and deep fakes. Like The Young Activist's Dictionary of Social Justice, this bookwill include age-appropriate definitions that explain terms through the lens of the digital world, plus pronunciation and part of speech. The pages will be packed with illustrations and features that help the words and their definitions come to life: boxes and sidebars on big ideas, such as Moore's Law, the implications of facial recognition software, and how building semiconductors contributes to climate change. Plus, a Tech Timeline delves into the breakthrough moments and important characters (think Ava Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Alan Turing) in the history of computer science and a Resources section with educational websites for budding coders who want to put their newfound knowledge to the test"--Grades: 2-3Ages: 7 and up
