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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profiles of five women that aim “to shed light on personal and career obstacles women face in achieving success” by a cultural anthropologist (Publishers Weekly). Mary Catherine Bateson has been called “one of the most original and important thinkers of our time” (Deborah Tannen). Grove Press is pleased to reissue Bateson’s deeply satisfying treatise on the improvisational lives of five extraordinary women. Using their personal stories as her framework, Dr. Bateson delves into the creative potential of the complex lives we live today, where ambitions are constantly refocused on new goals and possibilities. With balanced sympathy and a candid approach to what makes these women inspiring, examples of the newly fluid movement of adaptation—their relationships with spouses, children, and friends, their ever-evolving work, and their gender—Bateson shows us that life itself is a creative process. “A masterwork of rare breadth and particularity, encompassing all the rhythms of five lives and friendships, and interweaving their stories in ways that reveal grand social truths and peculiar personal graces.”—The Boston Globe “Well-formulated and passionate . . . Offers nothing less than a radical rethinking of the concept of achievement.”—San Francisco Chronicle “As stimulating as it is hopeful . . . shakes up well-meaning truisms . . . adds new dimensions to our views of the world.”—Elizabeth Janeway, author of Man’s World, Woman’s Place “Bateson has an extremely interesting mind and the ability to express herself with extraordinary literary felicity . . . Too much truth steams behind the quiet elegance of these passages.”—The New York Times Book Review

Download or read book Inner Alignment written by Dinesh Senan and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inner Alignment is a gentle invitation to readers to take an inward journey into themselves, to reflect on their lives lived thus far, and to contemplate a fundamental re-setting of their inner compass, before engaging the world afresh, armed with a new framework for the reclaiming of their own authenticity and influence in life. Inner Alignment starts from a postulation of the core purpose of human life, (which is an experiential evolutionary process of self realization), then delves into an exploration, from the perspective of the physical body as energy, seeking to identify the body's inherent beacons of energy expenditure during our human lifetimes, (i.e. our Feelings, Thoughts, Words and Actions), before moving on to explore the fundamental directions or motives behind such energy expenditure, (Love/Giving v Fear/Taking). An exploration of the possible existence of a universal 'preference' for the direction of our energy expenditure then follows, (where Love/Giving is explored as an intrinsically preferred direction of flow of universal energy). A discussion then follows on the attainment of two levels of wisdom ... the first being that it may be best, from an efficiency viewpoint, to have all of our inner beacons of energy radiation internally aligned so as to enable us to move more efficiently through our lives ... the second level of wisdom is attained when we then ask ourselves just which of these inner beacons ought to lead, (ie we now address the direction of sail, and ask which inner beacon ought to serve as captain of the ship (Feelings/the language of the soul/grounded in love)? The book then explores the dangers of allowing leadership from the mind, (typically grounded in Fear), and calls instead for the soul to usurp that role ... and within this framework, we effectively find ourselves letting go, and letting 'God', (through the voice of the soul), take captaincy of our lives, leaving us to serve as his divine instruments of implementation. The journey flows into a philosophical contemplation of the highest potential use of our material bodies before we shed them ... that is, in the direction of Service/Giving to as many other humans as we can possibly reach. It also explores the role of Joy, Grace & Gratitude as catalysts in our service-centric lives, then heads into the realm of 'outward alignment' with others, that is, into the realm of influence and of authentic leadership, (postulating that such levels of influence and authenticity are most powerfully and sustainably attained only after we have first re-claimed our inner alignment). The book draws to an end with a call to action, and ends with a 'religion-neutral' daily prayer for inner alignment and for service. Ultimately, Inner Alignment is a wake-up call to service-oriented action, and for all of us to move to a different rhythm in our daily lives ... it is about making the choice to move to our very deepest rhythm ... of who we truly are.
