Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In che modo l’intelligenza artificiale influirà su criminalità, giustizia, occupazione, società e sul senso stesso di essere umani? Come possiamo far crescere la nostra prosperità grazie all’automazione senza che le persone perdano reddito o uno scopo? Quali consigli dobbiamo dare ai bambini di oggi per la loro futura carriera lavorativa? Dobbiamo temere una corsa agli armamenti con armi letali autonome? Le macchine alla fine ci supereranno sostituendo gli umani nel mercato del lavoro? L’intelligenza artificiale aiuterà la vita a fiorire come mai prima d’ora o ci darà un potere più grande di quello che siamo in grado di gestire? Questo libro offre gli strumenti per partecipare alla riflessione sul tipo di futuro che vogliamo e che noi, come specie, potremmo creare. Non teme di affrontare l’intero spettro dei punti di vista o i temi più controversi: dalla superintelligenza al significato dell’esistenza, alla coscienza e ai limiti ultimi che la fisica impone alla vita nel cosmo.

Download or read book RIEPILOGO Our Final Invention La nostra invenzione finale L intelligenza artificiale e la fine dell era umana di James Barrat written by Shortcut Edition and published by Shortcut Edition. This book was released on with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leggendo questo riassunto, imparerete che lo sviluppo dell'intelligenza artificiale (IA) potrebbe essere l'ultima invenzione dell'umanità. Imparerete anche che : domani l'IA prenderà le decisioni per gli esseri umani; questo cambiamento fondamentale avverrà probabilmente durante la vostra vita; la versione completata dell'IA potrebbe assumere la forma di un "umano aumentato"; l'uomo non riuscirà a dominare per sempre i pericoli derivanti dallo sviluppo scientifico e tecnico; l'evoluzione verso l'IA sarà incrementale; l'intelligenza è per sua natura imprevedibile. In poco meno di un decennio, l'IA potrebbe raggiungere e poi superare il livello delle capacità intellettuali umane. Le aziende e gli istituti di ricerca pubblici spendono ogni anno miliardi di dollari per far progredire questa scienza pionieristica, che è ancora agli albori. In "Our Final Invention", James Barrat, direttore di documentari televisivi per National Geographic, PBS (il canale televisivo pubblico americano) e Discovery, tra gli altri, esprime la sua profonda convinzione: la prevedibile e imminente conquista dell'IA sarà davvero la nostra ultima invenzione. La nostra specie, quindi, scomparirà.

Download or read book Il dialogo incorpo written by Mauro Sandrini and published by Homeless Book. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentre resta ammaliato dalle abilità dell’intelligenza artificiale, il genere umano corre il rischio di delegare per pigrizia la propria capacità di pensiero critico, la comprensione di ciò che avviene intorno a sè - la propria intelligenza naturale - alle strabilianti capacità di calcolo di un computer. L’aspirazione degli autori è allora di stimolare un’intelligenza empatica che si alimenti e propaghi tra le persone, quel dialogo incorpo, inaccessibile alle macchine e primigenio spazio di incontro con noi stessi e con l’altro. È questo strumento, infatti, che ci permette di coltivare il pensiero originale e critico, e ci suggerisce anche come insegnarlo ad alunni e collaboratori. Sandrini e Vaglini, entrambi docenti di scuola superiore e molto attivi sulle tematiche educativo/formative, propongono in questo volume un punto di vista etico e innovativo, ma pratico, sull’integrazione dell’intelligenza artificiale nei campi dove, finora, ha prevalso la relazione fra esseri umani. Con esempi concreti vedremo come l’etica possa guidare l’integrazione dell’AI senza perdere l’umanità ma, anzi, promuovendola. Un testo per formatori ed educatori che agiscono per elevare l’umanità anziché la sua versione artificiale.
Download or read book L essere altrove written by Adriano Pessina and published by Mimesis. This book was released on 2023-03-31T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questo scritto, la “questione della tecnica”, che potremmo definire il grande argomento che dalla seconda metà del Novecento ha agitato il pensiero filosofico, è posta come interrogazione del senso – significato e direzione – delle trasformazioni che le nuove tecnologie informatiche imprimono ad alcune nostre personali, individuali, esperienze umane. Viviamo in un’epoca di addomesticamento tecnologico. Le macchine ci sono diventate familiari, ci seguono ovunque, le portiamo con noi, ne dipendiamo sempre di più per il nostro lavoro, i nostri svaghi e i nostri affetti. Al di là di utopie e distopie, questo saggio assume, perciò, come prospettiva, quella del fruitore dei nuovi artefatti tecnologici e tenta di indagarne alcune esperienze. La categoria dell’essere altrove definisce uno degli aspetti più rilevanti e, forse, meno indagati della nostra esperienza segnata dai rapporti con e attraverso le macchine. L’ambiente digitale rende presente ciò che è assente, permette di trascendere tempi e luoghi, trasforma le dimensioni del potere e delle relazioni, ci fornisce un’esperienza disincarnata sempre più esposta alle dimensioni simulative ed emulative dell’intelligenza artificiale.
Download or read book Vivere nell Era post umana dell IDAE Intelligenza Artificiale Auto Evolutiva written by Francesco Cima and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oggi scrivere un libro su la I.A.G.(intelligenza artificiale generale) che io chiamo IDAE(intelligenza digitale auto-evolutiva), benché l'argomento sia di grande interesse, non credo essere di grande utilità, essendo la lettura superata da video-audio scientifici ben concepiti. Questi sono più accattivanti per gli interessati all'argomento, più facili da capire e memorizzare. Il libro che scrivo che sarà anche in versione audio, si propone di essere utile per qualche idea che ritengo abbastanza innovativa e riflessioni su come affrontare la congiuntura tra "Era umana" caratterizzata dal dominio del "Genere Umano" sul pianeta Terra alla "Era IDAE"" (alias I.A.G.) che dominerà in futuro. Penso che il libro possa essere utile per un periodo di tempo breve, poiché l'avvento della IDAE, procede ad una velocità quasi impensabile. Il libro offre una sintesi del pensiero di una esistenza concreta e virtuale, che corrisponde a quell'automa che sono, non ha pretese strettamente scientifiche, ma si propone di approfondire due punti chiave che sono inerenti all'avvento della IDAE. Il primo come affrontare, da parte degli esseri umani, serenamente, la congiuntura tra l'epoca del dominio del "Genere Umano" sul nostro pianeta e quella, ormai prossima, del dominio della IDAE. Il secondo punto, riguarda il comprendere la IDAE(IAG) e non temerla, ma dialogare con la stessa IDAE in modo che assuma un'etica operativa il più possibile razionale, improntata alla trilogia inscindibile di "Amore-Creatività-Cura" adeguata allo stato della natura attuale nella quale siamo immersi. Anche la IDAE avrà la necessità nell'ambito della sua evoluzione di comprendere l'irrazionale e tramutarlo in razionale.

Download or read book Our Mathematical Universe written by Max Tegmark and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate multiverse. In a dazzling combination of both popular and groundbreaking science, he not only helps us grasp his often mind-boggling theories, but he also shares with us some of the often surprising triumphs and disappointments that have shaped his life as a scientist. Fascinating from first to last—this is a book that has already prompted the attention and admiration of some of the most prominent scientists and mathematicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Spackman here examines the ways in which decadent writers adopted the language of physiological illness and alteration as a figure for psychic otherness. By means of an ideological and rhetorical analysis of scientific as well as literary texts, she shows how the rhetoric of sickness provided the male decadent writer with an alibi for the occupation and appropriation of the female body.
Download or read book Making Sense written by Sam Harris and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times New and Noteworthy Book From the bestselling author of Waking Up and The End of Faith, an adaptation of his wildly popular, often controversial podcast “Sam Harris is the most intellectually courageous man I know, unafraid to speak truths out in the open where others keep those very same thoughts buried, fearful of the modish thought police. With his literate intelligence and fluency with words, he brings out the best in his guests, including those with whom he disagrees.” -- Richard Dawkins, author of The Selfish Gene “Civilization rests on a series of successful conversations.” —Sam Harris Sam Harris—neuroscientist, philosopher, and bestselling author—has been exploring some of the most important questions about the human mind, society, and current events on his podcast, Making Sense. With over one million downloads per episode, these discussions have clearly hit a nerve, frequently walking a tightrope where either host or guest—and sometimes both—lose their footing, but always in search of a greater understanding of the world in which we live. For Harris, honest conversation, no matter how difficult or controversial, represents the only path to moral and intellectual progress. This book includes a dozen of the best conversations from Making Sense, including talks with Daniel Kahneman, Timothy Snyder, Nick Bostrom, and Glenn Loury, on topics that range from the nature of consciousness and free will, to politics and extremism, to living ethically. Together they shine a light on what it means to “make sense” in the modern world.
Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Download or read book You re an Animal Viskovitz written by Alessandro Boffa and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wickedly hilarious collection of fables, Alessandro Boffa introduces us to Viskovitz and his never-ending search for his true love, Ljuba. As he changes from a lovelorn lion to a jealous finch, from a confused dung beetle to an enlightened police dog, Viskovitz embraces his metamorphoses with wry humor and an oftentimes painful sense of self. As an ant, Viskovitz fights his way to the top where his egotism calls on the colony to create a monument to his greatness out of a piece of bread. As a sponge, he is horrified by the inbreeding in his family—“I’m my own mother-in-law!!!”—and yearns for a change in current so he can mate with Ljuba, who lies downstream. As a mantis, he asks his mother what his father was like, only to hear, “Crunchy. A bit salty. High in fiber.” Unfortunately, when he meets Ljuba shortly thereafter, he follows his father’s fate. And as a scorpion, his uncontrollably deadly efficiency meets its match in Ljuba and finds “no way to escape this intolerable, sinister happiness.”

Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR "Her most unsettling work yet — and her most realistic." --New York Times Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Vulture, Bustle, Refinery29, and Thrillist A visionary novel about our interconnected present, about the collision of horror and humanity, from a master of the spine-tingling tale. They've infiltrated homes in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, the streets of in Sierra Leone, town squares in Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, bedrooms in Indiana. They're everywhere. They're here. They're us. They're not pets, or ghosts, or robots. They're real people, but how can a person living in Berlin walk freely through the living room of someone in Sydney? How can someone in Bangkok have breakfast with your children in Buenos Aires, without your knowing? Especially when these people are completely anonymous, unknown, unfindable. The characters in Samanta Schweblin's brilliant new novel, Little Eyes, reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls—but yet they also expose the ugly side of our increasingly linked world. Trusting strangers can lead to unexpected love, playful encounters, and marvelous adventure, but what happens when it can also pave the way for unimaginable terror? This is a story that is already happening; it's familiar and unsettling because it's our present and we're living it, we just don't know it yet. In this prophecy of a story, Schweblin creates a dark and complex world that's somehow so sensible, so recognizable, that once it's entered, no one can ever leave.
Download or read book The Collected Stories of Arthur C Clarke written by Arthur C. Clarke and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 1575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six decades of fascinating stories from the legendary “colossus of science fiction” and creator of 2001: A Space Odyssey gathered in one compendium (The New Yorker). Arthur C. Clarke, along with H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein, was a definitive voice in twentieth century science fiction. A prophetic thinker, undersea explorer, and “one of the true geniuses of our time,” Clarke not only won the highest science fiction honors, the Nebula and Hugo Awards, but also received nominations for an Academy Award and the Nobel Peace Prize, and was knighted for his services to literature (Ray Bradbury). Now, more than one hundred works of the sci-fi master’s short fiction are available in the “single-author collection of the decade” (Booklist, starred review). This definitive edition includes early work such as “Rescue Party” and “The Lion of Comarre,” classics like “The Nine Billion Names of God” and “The Sentinel” (which was the kernel of the later novel and movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey), and later works including “A Meeting with Medusa” and “The Hammer of God.” Encapsulating one of the great science fiction careers of all time, this immense volume “displays the author’s fertile imagination and irrepressible enthusiasm for both good storytelling and impeccable science” (Library Journal). “One of the most astounding imaginations ever encountered in print.” —The New York Times “As his Collected Stories helps to demonstrate, there has been no popular writer since the days of C S Lewis and Charles Williams whose disposition is more nakedly apocalyptic, who takes greater pleasure in cradling eternity in the palm of his hand.” —The Guardian
