Literary theory for robots : how computers learned to write / by Tenen, Dennis,author.(CARDINAL)884705;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-146) and index."Reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking readers on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in original and witty prose, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice-to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. Smart tools, like dictionaries and grammar books, have always accompanied the act of writing, thinking, and communicating. That these paper machines are now automated does not bring them to life. Nor can we cede agency over the creative process. With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers."--

Simple algorithms / by Thompson, SamAuthor(DLC)no2022016585;
Algo-what? "Algorithm" might be an intimidating word, but its meaning is pretty simple. An algorithm is a set of instructions. Future programmers will learn the difference between a good algorithm and a bad one through clear, accessible examples in this inviting introduction to coding concepts. They'll also learn how algorithms are behind many of the things they do on the internet, from searching for information to making video calls. Finally, they'll be introduced to two real-life programmers, Phiwa Nkambule and Corrinne Yu, and learn how coding has led to their professional success.
