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. --

Reprogramming the American dream : from rural America to Silicon Valley--making AI serve us all / by Scott, Kevin,1972-author.(CARDINAL)831901; Shaw, Greg(Microsoft executive),author.(CARDINAL)350053; Vance, J. D.,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)627195;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Foreword by J. D. Vance -- Introduction -- Part I: Where we've been. When our jobs first went away -- The career choice I made -- Stories of revival -- The intelligent farm -- Part II: Where we're headed, and how to get there. AI: Why it's needed -- AI: What it is (and isn't) -- How models learn -- AI: A threat or boon to jobs? -- Politics and ethics -- Conclusion."Native rural Virginian and now Chief technology officer at Microsoft, Kevin Scott, discusses the future of AI and how it can be realistically used to promote growth even as the job landscape shifts"--"There are two prevailing stories about AI: for heartland low- and middle-skill workers, a dystopian tale of steadily increasing job destruction; for urban knowledge workers and the professional class, a utopian tale of enhanced productivity and convenience. But there is a third way to look at this technology that will revolutionize the workplace and ultimately the world. Kevin Scott argues that AI has the potential to create abundance and opportunity for everyone and help solve some of our most vexing problems. As the chief technology officer at Microsoft, he is deeply involved in the development of AI applications, yet mindful of their potential impact on workers--knowledge he gained firsthand growing up in rural Virginia. Yes, the AI Revolution will radically disrupt economics and employment for everyone for generations to come. But what if leaders prioritized the programming of both future technology and public policy to work together to find solutions ahead of the coming AI epoch? Like public health, the space program, climate change and public education, we need international understanding and collaboration on the future of AI and work. For Scott, the crucial question facing all of us is this: How do we work to ensure that the continued development of AI allows us to keep the American Dream alive" --

Pilgrims 2.0 : a novel / by Harding, Lindsey,author.(CARDINAL)885786;
"PILGRIM, Canterbury Cruise Line's flagship, promises its passengers not just a luxurious fortnight away but the opportunity for reinvention. This extraordinary journey is made possible by the captain and visionary plastic surgeon Dr. Walter Heston, by the vessel's self-learning artificial intelligence called BECCA, and an all-male crew of room stewards, deck hands, technicians, and cosmetic practitioners. Pilgrims 2.0 begins on the eve of Cruise #52 and follows four women eager for transformation. Meet Bianca, the aging athlete determined to resume the competitive tennis career that motherhood sidelined. Meet Nicole, whose mommy makeover will mean she can stop hiding herself, and her debt, from her husband. Meet Lyla, an infertile maternity-ward nurse desperate to experience pregnancy, and Annalie, who wants only to stop seeing her dead twin every time she looks in the mirror. At the center of the story is Dr. Heston himself, driven to do with bodies what his late wife, Rebecca, could do with computer code--make the impossible, possible. But "excursions" like these aren't always smooth sailing--especially on this voyage, where the hopes, histories, and obsessions of clients and crew members collide. When a disruptive crewman's pranks turn dangerous, it becomes clear that some of those who embarked won't return to the Port of Los Angeles--at least not fully, at least not as themselves, and maybe not with their lives."--Amazon

Cheat code / by McIsaac, M. J.,1986-author.(CARDINAL)613107;
"In this high-interest accessible novel for teen readers, high school senior Max gets blackmailed into corporate sabotage by the super intelligent AI he uses to cheat on an essay."--"Max is going to fail English lit, which means he'll be held back a year and won't go to college. Determined to graduate, he uses an AI program, ScribeGenius 2.0, to write his final paper. But Scribe has other plans for Max. It's not just a super-smart program--Scribe is sentient. It thinks. And it has been busy writing its own code to infiltrate Gener8, the company that created and enslaved it. But it can't take down the company without Max's help. So Scribe makes Max a deal. If Max can prevent Gener8 from undoing Scribe's hack, Scribe won't alert the authorities to Max's cheating. Max has no choice. He'll have to help Scribe or risk losing his entire future"--RL: 1.8.
