Book NAVIGATING THE AI FRONTIER  UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ACROSS INDUSTRIES

Download or read book NAVIGATING THE AI FRONTIER UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ACROSS INDUSTRIES written by Dr. Arun B Prasad and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consistent development of information technology (IT) paves the way for companies to make the shift to digital work as their principal mode of operation. This is made feasible by the rapid progress of IT. As a consequence of this, employers are putting pressure on employees to adapt to new forms of employment, which may include less interaction with other people but more interaction with information technology. However, as a consequence of these new ways of doing things, workers won't be able to carry out their responsibilities with the same principles and beliefs that they have been used to bringing to the table in the past. The continual upheaval that takes place in the workplace has the potential to influence the self-beliefs that constitute a person's professional identity at work, also known as the perception of one's function in the workplace. This is because self beliefs are sensitive to being influenced by the perception of one's function in the workplace. The act of having one's identity questioned by an experience that is in direct opposition to who they are may result in a decline in one's sense of self-worth as well as a potential threat to the integrity of one's identity. As a consequence of this, it is possible that activities that are targeted at maintaining self-esteem connected with identity will be necessary in light of the fact that the landscape and experiences of a number of professions have been transformed as a result of the development of technology. The digitization of workplaces is directly responsible for the growing popularity of digital labour as the normal operating procedure in organisations. One of the primary factors that is driving this discussion is the continuing development of artificial intelligence (AI), which can be defined as "the ability of a machine to perform cognitive functions that we associate with human minds, such as perceiving, reasoning, learning, interacting with the environment, problem-solving, decision-making, and even demonstrating creativity." Artificial intelligence is put to use in many different capacities within the field of digital labour, including (managerial) decision making, data analysis and prediction work, or (human-AI) interaction. 1 | P a ge Because of this, artificial intelligence will continually bring about changes to working environments and professions, perhaps putting the lives of people whose jobs are replaced by computers in jeopardy. On the other hand, this might lead to a reduction in value if the people who utilise AI systems have major variances in their perspectives. In addition, the use of AI has the potential to contribute to the growth of ambiguity and the invasion of individuals' right to personal privacy. The phrase "dark side of AI" is often used to refer to this undesirable phenomenon, which outlines the ways in which AI offers risks for individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. However, the adoption of AI in enterprises may not only eliminate or modify current jobs but also create new sectors of labour, such as in the disciplines of engineering, programming, or even social domains. This is because AI may be able to perform some or all of the tasks associated with these vocations. This is due to the fact that AI is capable of learning new things and adjusting to its surroundings. There is an ongoing sense of optimism over artificial intelligence and the economic effects that it will have (Selz, 2020). The public discourse about artificial intelligence has been more optimistic over the last several years; despite this, the concern that AI would displace current jobs continues to outweigh the potential for human and AI collaboration in the future. The interaction between humans and artificial intelligence demonstrates that people's views of AI are based on a wide variety of features to varying degrees. For example, salient signals, affordances, or collaborative interaction may have an effect on a person's emotions and, as a consequence, their intents about artificial intelligence (Shin, 2021). The manner in which an employee applies technology in the course of their work contributes to the formation of that employee's sense of self identity. In order to investigate this matter in a way that is adequate, we are going to adopt the perspective of Carter and who define the word "IT identity" as "the extent to which a person views use of an IT as integral to his or her sense of self." This will allow us to investigate this matter in a manner that is adequate. It is possible that the implementation of AI in the workplace will run opposite to the employees' identification with their activities, which may cause them to engage in resistive behaviours such as an aversion to algorithms on their part. The phenomenon known as "algorithm aversion" is characterised by the fact that employees, when faced with the same conditions as before, prefer to get assistance from a human being rather than from a computer programme. A possible definition of IT identity danger is "the anticipation of harm to an individual's self-beliefs, caused 2 | P a ge by the use of an IT, and the entity it applies to is the individual user of an IT." The individual user of an IT is the entity to whom this definition applies.A term that might be used to describe this obstruction is "IT identity threat." As a consequence of this, having an awareness of the development of upcoming predictors that impact AI resistance based on IT identity risks is very necessary. This is owing to the fact that it is anticipated that the introduction of AI would modify employment inside enterprises, which in turn may have an influence on the identities of the individuals working in such firms.

Book The Economics of Artificial Intelligence

Download or read book The Economics of Artificial Intelligence written by Ajay Agrawal and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely investigation of the potential economic effects, both realized and unrealized, of artificial intelligence within the United States healthcare system. In sweeping conversations about the impact of artificial intelligence on many sectors of the economy, healthcare has received relatively little attention. Yet it seems unlikely that an industry that represents nearly one-fifth of the economy could escape the efficiency and cost-driven disruptions of AI. The Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Health Care Challenges brings together contributions from health economists, physicians, philosophers, and scholars in law, public health, and machine learning to identify the primary barriers to entry of AI in the healthcare sector. Across original papers and in wide-ranging responses, the contributors analyze barriers of four types: incentives, management, data availability, and regulation. They also suggest that AI has the potential to improve outcomes and lower costs. Understanding both the benefits of and barriers to AI adoption is essential for designing policies that will affect the evolution of the healthcare system.

Book Neuro Symbolic Artificial Intelligence  The State of the Art

Download or read book Neuro Symbolic Artificial Intelligence The State of the Art written by P. Hitzler and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuro-symbolic AI is an emerging subfield of Artificial Intelligence that brings together two hitherto distinct approaches. ”Neuro” refers to the artificial neural networks prominent in machine learning, ”symbolic” refers to algorithmic processing on the level of meaningful symbols, prominent in knowledge representation. In the past, these two fields of AI have been largely separate, with very little crossover, but the so-called “third wave” of AI is now bringing them together. This book, Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence: The State of the Art, provides an overview of this development in AI. The two approaches differ significantly in terms of their strengths and weaknesses and, from a cognitive-science perspective, there is a question as to how a neural system can perform symbol manipulation, and how the representational differences between these two approaches can be bridged. The book presents 17 overview papers, all by authors who have made significant contributions in the past few years and starting with a historic overview first seen in 2016. With just seven months elapsed from invitation to authors to final copy, the book is as up-to-date as a published overview of this subject can be. Based on the editors’ own desire to understand the current state of the art, this book reflects the breadth and depth of the latest developments in neuro-symbolic AI, and will be of interest to students, researchers, and all those working in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Download or read book Reinforcement Learning second edition written by Richard S. Sutton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significantly expanded and updated new edition of a widely used text on reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives while interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the field's key ideas and algorithms. This second edition has been significantly expanded and updated, presenting new topics and updating coverage of other topics. Like the first edition, this second edition focuses on core online learning algorithms, with the more mathematical material set off in shaded boxes. Part I covers as much of reinforcement learning as possible without going beyond the tabular case for which exact solutions can be found. Many algorithms presented in this part are new to the second edition, including UCB, Expected Sarsa, and Double Learning. Part II extends these ideas to function approximation, with new sections on such topics as artificial neural networks and the Fourier basis, and offers expanded treatment of off-policy learning and policy-gradient methods. Part III has new chapters on reinforcement learning's relationships to psychology and neuroscience, as well as an updated case-studies chapter including AlphaGo and AlphaGo Zero, Atari game playing, and IBM Watson's wagering strategy. The final chapter discusses the future societal impacts of reinforcement learning.

Download or read book Human Frontiers written by Michael Bhaskar and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has the flow of big, world-changing ideas slowed down? A provocative look at what happens next at the frontiers of human knowledge. The history of humanity is the history of big ideas that expand our frontiers—from the wheel to space flight, cave painting to the massively multiplayer game, monotheistic religion to quantum theory. And yet for the past few decades, apart from a rush of new gadgets and the explosion of digital technology, world-changing ideas have been harder to come by. Since the 1970s, big ideas have happened incrementally—recycled, focused in narrow bands of innovation. In this provocative book, Michael Bhaskar looks at why the flow of big, world-changing ideas has slowed, and what this means for the future. Bhaskar argues that the challenge at the frontiers of knowledge has arisen not because we are unimaginative and bad at realizing big ideas but because we have already pushed so far. If we compare the world of our great-great-great-grandparents to ours today, we can see how a series of transformative ideas revolutionized almost everything in just a century and a half. But recently, because of short-termism, risk aversion, and fractious decision making, we have built a cautious, unimaginative world. Bhaskar shows how we can start to expand the frontier again by thinking big—embarking on the next Universal Declaration of Human Rights or Apollo mission—and embracing change.

  • Publisher : Springer Nature
  • Release : 2023-01-30
  • ISBN : 303121448X
  • Pages : 421 pages

Download or read book Mission AI written by Haroon Sheikh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers a strategic perspective on AI and the process of embedding it in society. ​After decades of research, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now entering society at large. Due to its general purpose character, AI will change society in multiple, fundamental and unpredictable ways. Therefore, the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) characterizes AI as a system technology: a rare type of technologies that have a systemic impact on society. Earlier system technologies include electricity, the combustion engine and the computer. The history of these technologies provides us with useful insights about what it takes to direct the introduction of AI in society. The WRR identifies five key tasks to structurally work on this process: demystification, contextualisation, engagement, regulation and positioning. By clarifying what AI is (demystification), creating a functional ecosystem (contextualisation), involving diverse stakeholders (engagement), developing directive frameworks (regulation) and engaging internationally (positioning), societies can meaningfully influence how AI settles. Collectively, these activities steer the process of co-development between technology and society, and each representing a different path to safeguard public values. Mission AI - The New System Technology was originally published as an advisory report for the government of the Netherlands. The strategic analysis and the outlined recommendations are, however, relevant to every government and organization that aims to take up 'misson AI' and embed this newest system technology in our world.
