Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde mediados de la década de 2000, la inteligencia artificial (IA) se ha expandido a gran velocidad a nivel mundial, como campo académico y como industria. Pero ¿es posible crear inteligencia? ¿Cómo son los sistemas de IA que se desarrollan a escala planetaria? ¿Qué tipos de políticas están contenidas en el modo en que esos sistemas cartografían e interpretan el mundo? ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias de incluir la IA en los sistemas de toma de decisiones en los lugares de trabajo, la educación, la salud, las finanzas, la justicia y el gobierno? Atlas de inteligencia artificial demuestra que la IA no es una innovación tecnológica neutral u objetiva ni una fuerza espectral o incorpórea, sino una verdadera industria de extracción global. De hecho, la creación de los sistemas de IA contemporáneos dependen de la explotación de los recursos energéticos y minerales del planeta, de la mano de obra barata y de los datos a gran escala. De manera crítica, advierte cómo la IA altera la forma en que el mundo es visto y entendido, e impulsa un cambio hacia gobiernos antidemocráticos, una mayor desigualdad y enormes daños medioambientales. De modo contundente, Kate Crawford sostiene: "La IA no es artificial ni inteligente. Más bien existe de forma corpórea, como algo material, hecho de recursos naturales, combustible, mano de obra, infraestructuras, logística, historias y clasificaciones. Los sistemas de IA no son autónomos, racionales ni capaces de discernir algo sin un entrenamiento extenso e intensivo". Se trata de sistemas diseñados para servir a los intereses dominantes ya existentes: son, finalmente, un certificado de poder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hidden costs of artificial intelligence, from natural resources and labor to privacy and freedom What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? In this book Kate Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequality. Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning science, and technology, Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited workers behind "automated" services, to the data AI collects from us. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a political and a material perspective on what it takes to make artificial intelligence and where it goes wrong. While technical systems present a veneer of objectivity, they are always systems of power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

Book excerpt: ¿Quiénes son los agentes implicados en la creación de significado en inteligencia artificial? ¿Son esos resultados verdades indiscutibles científicamente? ¿A quién beneficia que las soluciones de IA sean tomadas por absolutas referencias en tecnología punta? ¿Qué coste tiene para los individuos? ¿Y para el planeta? Esta obra es el resultado de más de diez años de investigación acerca de la extracción de datos a gran escala, tanto del coste material del mismo —explotación de minas de tierras raras, árboles en extinción, recursos subvencionados como el agua o la electricidad, explotación de mano de obra—, como de las estrategias subyacentes al dominio de una tecnología que perpetúa el poder y sus sesgos sociales y culturales. Un puzzle donde cada pieza es diseccionada y analizada con minuciosidad científica; un mapa fascinante sobre la avara explotación de los recursos naturales, trabajadores tratados sin escrúpulos, una selección de la información sesgada desde el mismo momento de su recopilación y un pacto entre los estados y las empresas privadas que obvian las responsabilidades que conlleva la extracción y el tratamiento de información privada carente de un contexto. En este libro, la autora nos ofrece una amena explicación de por qué la inteligencia artificial ni es inteligente ni es artificial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to understanding the inner workings and outer limits of technology and why we should never assume that computers always get it right. In Artificial Unintelligence, Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally—hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners—that we have stopped demanding that our technology actually work. Broussard, a software developer and journalist, reminds us that there are fundamental limits to what we can (and should) do with technology. With this book, she offers a guide to understanding the inner workings and outer limits of technology—and issues a warning that we should never assume that computers always get things right. Making a case against technochauvinism—the belief that technology is always the solution—Broussard argues that it's just not true that social problems would inevitably retreat before a digitally enabled Utopia. To prove her point, she undertakes a series of adventures in computer programming. She goes for an alarming ride in a driverless car, concluding “the cyborg future is not coming any time soon”; uses artificial intelligence to investigate why students can't pass standardized tests; deploys machine learning to predict which passengers survived the Titanic disaster; and attempts to repair the U.S. campaign finance system by building AI software. If we understand the limits of what we can do with technology, Broussard tells us, we can make better choices about what we should do with it to make the world better for everyone.

Book excerpt: Who are the agents involved in the creation of meaning in artificial intelligence? Are these results scientifically indisputable truths? Who benefits that AI solutions are taken by absolute references in cutting-edge technology? What cost does it have for individuals? And for the planet? This work is the result of more than ten years of research on large-scale data extraction, both the material cost of it - exploitation of rare earth mines, endangered trees, subsidized resources such as water or electricity, exploitation of labor--, as well as the strategies underlying the dominance of a technology that perpetuates power and its social and cultural biases. A puzzle where each piece is dissected and analyzed with scientific thoroughness; a fascinating map about the greedy exploitation of natural resources, workers treated unscrupulously, a biased selection of information from the moment it was compiled, and a pact between states and private companies that ignore the responsibilities that come with extraction and use. In this book, the author offers us a pleasant explanation of why artificial intelligence is neither intelligent nor artificial.

Book excerpt: Buy now to get the main key ideas from Kate Crawford’s Atlas of AI In Atlas of AI (2021), Kate Crawford explores the twisted, complex world of artificial intelligence. She argues that AI is neither artificial nor intelligent, but rather a material system built from Earth’s rare resources and cheap labor, with severe environmental and human costs. Crawford explores the origins of AI and examines the processes that turn it into a double-edged sword, capable of harming as well as helping humanity. Governments and corporations are using AI to reinforce their power and control, and we must be aware of the pitfalls.

Download or read book The Myth of Artificial Intelligence written by Erik J. Larson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Artificial intelligence has always inspired outlandish visions—that AI is going to destroy us, save us, or at the very least radically transform us. Erik Larson exposes the vast gap between the actual science underlying AI and the dramatic claims being made for it. This is a timely, important, and even essential book.” —John Horgan, author of The End of Science Many futurists insist that AI will soon achieve human levels of intelligence. From there, it will quickly eclipse the most gifted human mind. The Myth of Artificial Intelligence argues that such claims are just that: myths. We are not on the path to developing truly intelligent machines. We don’t even know where that path might be. Erik Larson charts a journey through the landscape of AI, from Alan Turing’s early work to today’s dominant models of machine learning. Since the beginning, AI researchers and enthusiasts have equated the reasoning approaches of AI with those of human intelligence. But this is a profound mistake. Even cutting-edge AI looks nothing like human intelligence. Modern AI is based on inductive reasoning: computers make statistical correlations to determine which answer is likely to be right, allowing software to, say, detect a particular face in an image. But human reasoning is entirely different. Humans do not correlate data sets; we make conjectures sensitive to context—the best guess, given our observations and what we already know about the world. We haven’t a clue how to program this kind of reasoning, known as abduction. Yet it is the heart of common sense. Larson argues that all this AI hype is bad science and bad for science. A culture of invention thrives on exploring unknowns, not overselling existing methods. Inductive AI will continue to improve at narrow tasks, but if we are to make real progress, we must abandon futuristic talk and learn to better appreciate the only true intelligence we know—our own.

Download or read book The Sciences of the Artificial reissue of the third edition with a new introduction by John Laird written by Herbert A. Simon and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence in the expanded and updated third edition from 1996, with a new introduction by John E. Laird. Herbert Simon's classic and influential The Sciences of the Artificial declares definitively that there can be a science not only of natural phenomena but also of what is artificial. Exploring the commonalities of artificial systems, including economic systems, the business firm, artificial intelligence, complex engineering projects, and social plans, Simon argues that designed systems are a valid field of study, and he proposes a science of design. For this third edition, originally published in 1996, Simon added new material that takes into account advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis: that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action. Simon won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1978 for his research into the decision-making process within economic organizations and the Turing Award (considered by some the computer science equivalent to the Nobel) with Allen Newell in 1975 for contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing. The Sciences of the Artificial distills the essence of Simon's thought accessibly and coherently. This reissue of the third edition makes a pioneering work available to a new audience.
Download or read book AI Ethics written by Mark Coeckelbergh and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of the ethical issues raised by artificial intelligence moves beyond hype and nightmare scenarios to address concrete questions—offering a compelling, necessary read for our ChatGPT era. Artificial intelligence powers Google’s search engine, enables Facebook to target advertising, and allows Alexa and Siri to do their jobs. AI is also behind self-driving cars, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without human intervention. These and other AI applications raise complex ethical issues that are the subject of ongoing debate. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible synthesis of these issues. Written by a philosopher of technology, AI Ethics goes beyond the usual hype and nightmare scenarios to address concrete questions. Mark Coeckelbergh describes influential AI narratives, ranging from Frankenstein’s monster to transhumanism and the technological singularity. He surveys relevant philosophical discussions: questions about the fundamental differences between humans and machines and debates over the moral status of AI. He explains the technology of AI, describing different approaches and focusing on machine learning and data science. He offers an overview of important ethical issues, including privacy concerns, responsibility and the delegation of decision making, transparency, and bias as it arises at all stages of data science processes. He also considers the future of work in an AI economy. Finally, he analyzes a range of policy proposals and discusses challenges for policymakers. He argues for ethical practices that embed values in design, translate democratic values into practices and include a vision of the good life and the good society.

Download or read book The Alignment Problem Machine Learning and Human Values written by Brian Christian and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A jaw-dropping exploration of everything that goes wrong when we build AI systems and the movement to fix them. Today’s “machine-learning” systems, trained by data, are so effective that we’ve invited them to see and hear for us—and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Recent years have seen an eruption of concern as the field of machine learning advances. When the systems we attempt to teach will not, in the end, do what we want or what we expect, ethical and potentially existential risks emerge. Researchers call this the alignment problem. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole—and appear to assess Black and White defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And as autonomous vehicles share our streets, we are increasingly putting our lives in their hands. The mathematical and computational models driving these changes range in complexity from something that can fit on a spreadsheet to a complex system that might credibly be called “artificial intelligence.” They are steadily replacing both human judgment and explicitly programmed software. In best-selling author Brian Christian’s riveting account, we meet the alignment problem’s “first-responders,” and learn their ambitious plan to solve it before our hands are completely off the wheel. In a masterful blend of history and on-the ground reporting, Christian traces the explosive growth in the field of machine learning and surveys its current, sprawling frontier. Readers encounter a discipline finding its legs amid exhilarating and sometimes terrifying progress. Whether they—and we—succeed or fail in solving the alignment problem will be a defining human story. The Alignment Problem offers an unflinching reckoning with humanity’s biases and blind spots, our own unstated assumptions and often contradictory goals. A dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, it takes a hard look not only at our technology but at our culture—and finds a story by turns harrowing and hopeful.
