Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La inteligencia artificial y su uso exponencial en múltiples disciplinas está provocando un cambio social sin precedentes y generando el resurgir de pensamientos filosóficos tan profundos como la existencia del alma, o a tomar en serio ideas tan difíciles de asumir como que las máquinas puedan llegar a tener sentimientos, derechos o incluso libertad en sus acciones. Grandes personalidades, como Elon Musk o Stephen Hawking, han alertado sobre los peligros y graves riesgos de la IA, alimentando la visión apocalíptica de un mundo futuro dominado por las máquinas. ¿Cuánto hay de verdad en esto? ¿Llegarán las máquinas a acabar con la humanidad, tal y como la conocemos? ¿Es posible que tengan sentimientos? ¿Nos quitarán puestos de trabajo? ¿Pueden ayudarnos a combatir y predecir pandemias o desastres naturales? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que Richard Benjamins e Idoia Salazar abordan en esta obra. Usando un lenguaje sencillo y esclarecedor, exponen algunos de los principales cuentos, y los aclaran -cuentas- aportando, además, de primera mano, opiniones de algunos de los expertos más relevantes a nivel internacional como: Nuria Oliver (ELLIS), Bernhardt L. Trout (MIT), Patrick Vinck (Harvard), Jacques Bughin (Global McKinsey Institute), Stefaan G. Verhulst (New York University), Emmanuel Letouzé (Data-Pop Alliance), Ramón López de Mantarás (IIIA-CSIC), Chema Alonso (Telefónica), entre otros muchos. Esta visión complementaria ayudará al lector a desmantelar sus miedos infundados y a adentrarse con paso firme y seguro en nuestro ineludible y apasionante futuro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Nos espían los sistemas de Inteligencia Artificial? ¿Deberemos aprender a convivir con ellos? ¿hay alguna alternativa o... será mejor rendirnos a la evidencia, como Humanidad? Y, lo más importante: ¿Cuáles son las claves para una convivencia IA-HUMANO armónica y provechosa para este último? A cada paso que damos generamos datos. Las máquinas nos escuchan y traducen a su lenguaje nuestra rutina diaria. Nuestra vida profesional y personal está destinada al acompañamiento de estos seres inertes insuperables en eficiencia y gestión de ese Big Data que crece, cada segundo que pasa, a un ritmo exponencial. De manera casi imperceptible para muchos, los sistemas de Inteligencia Artificial empiezan a ser parte de nuestro día a día. Nos recomiendan canciones, películas, ropa e incluso a nuestra pareja ideal. ¿Y nosotros les hacemos caso? ¿seguimos sus decisiones? Muchas veces sí, incluso de manera inconsciente. ¡Es hora de adquirir esa consciencia! Si no lo haces, mañana será tarde. Te enfrentas a un mundo predecible, completamente personalizado, que parece escaparse de la gestión directa del ser humano. ¿Es esto cierto? ¿Cómo puedes afrontarlo? Idoia Salazar y Richard Benjamins te invitan a acompañarles en este viaje a través de los siete días de la semana de una rutina que pronto será la tuya. En tus manos está prepararte para desafiarlo con todos los conocimientos necesarios para salir airoso de este gran reto que afrontará la humanidad en los próximos años, y que ya estamos comenzando a vivir. Esta GuÍA de convivencia entre seres humanos y artificiales cuenta, además, con opiniones expertas de grandes referentes internacionales en Inteligencia Artificial. El futuro comienza hoy... y no es solo humano.

Book excerpt: "One is tempted to say 'the only book you'll need on starting a business.' Brilliant! Genius! Choose your superlative-it'll fit."-Tom Peters People starting out in business tend to seek step-by-step formulas or rules, but in reality there are no magic bullets. Rather, says veteran company-builder Norm Brodsky, there's a mentality that helps street- smart entrepreneurs solve problems and pursue opportunities as they arise. Brodsky shares his hard-earned wisdom every month in Inc. magazine, in the hugely popular "Street Smarts" column he cowrites with Bo Burlingham. Now they've adapted their best advice into a comprehensive guide for anyone running a small business.

Book The Boundaries of Europe

Download or read book The Boundaries of Europe written by Pietro Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.

Book What People Leave Behind

Download or read book What People Leave Behind written by Francesca Comunello and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on a particular but significant topic in the social sciences: the concepts of “footprint” and “trace”. It associates these concepts with hotly debated topics such as surveillance capitalism and knowledge society. The editors and authors discuss the concept footprints and traces as unintended by-products of other (differently focused and oriented) actions that remain empirically imprinted in virtual and real spaces. The volume therefore opens new scenarios for social theory and applied social research in asking what the stakes, risks and potential of this approach are. It systematically raises and addresses these questions within a consistent framework, bringing together a heterogeneous group of international social scientists. Given the multifaceted objectives involved in exploring footprints and traces, the volume discusses heuristic aspects and ethical dimensions, scientific analyses and political considerations, empirical perspectives and theoretical foundations. At the same time, it brings together perspectives from cultural analysis and social theory, communication and Internet studies, big-data informed research and computational social science. This innovative volume is of interest to a broad interdisciplinary readership: sociologists, communication researchers, Internet scholars, anthropologists, cognitive and behavioral scientists, historians, and epistemologists, among others.

Book The Laws of Robots

  • Author : Ugo Pagallo
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2013-05-16
  • ISBN : 9400765649
  • Pages : 222 pages

Download or read book The Laws of Robots written by Ugo Pagallo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the design, construction, and use of robotics technology may affect today’s legal systems and, more particularly, matters of responsibility and agency in criminal law, contractual obligations, and torts. By distinguishing between the behaviour of robots as tools of human interaction, and robots as proper agents in the legal arena, jurists will have to address a new generation of “hard cases.” General disagreement may concern immunity in criminal law (e.g., the employment of robot soldiers in battle), personal accountability for certain robots in contracts (e.g., robo-traders), much as clauses of strict liability and negligence-based responsibility in extra-contractual obligations (e.g., service robots in tort law). Since robots are here to stay, the aim of the law should be to wisely govern our mutual relationships.

Book Introduction to Webometrics

Download or read book Introduction to Webometrics written by Michael Thelwall and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Webometrics is concerned with measuring aspects of the web: web sites, web pages, parts of web pages, words in web pages, hyperlinks, web search engine results. The importance of the web itself as a communication medium and for hosting an increasingly wide array of documents, from journal articles to holiday brochures, needs no introduction. Given this huge and easily accessible source of information, there are limitless possibilities for measuring or counting on a huge scale (e.g., the number of web sites, the number of web pages, the number of blogs) or on a smaller scale (e.g., the number of web sites in Ireland, the number of web pages in the CNN web site, the number of blogs mentioning Barack Obama before the 2008 presidential campaign). This book argues that it can be useful for social scientists to measure aspects of the web and explains how this can be achieved on both a small and large scale. The book is intended for social scientists with research topics that are wholly or partly online (e.g., social networks, news, political communication) and social scientists with offline research topics with an online reflection, even if this is not a core component (e.g., diaspora communities, consumer culture, linguistic change). The book is also intended for library and information science students in the belief that the knowledge and techniques described will be useful for them to guide and aid other social scientists in their research. In addition, the techniques and issues are all directly relevant to library and information science research problems.

Book Structural Dynamics

Download or read book Structural Dynamics written by Mario Paz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of COSMOS for the analysis and solution of structural dynamics problems is introduced in this new edition. The COSMOS program was selected from among the various professional programs available because it has the capability of solving complex problems in structures, as well as in other engin eering fields such as Heat Transfer, Fluid Flow, and Electromagnetic Phenom ena. COSMOS includes routines for Structural Analysis, Static, or Dynamics with linear or nonlinear behavior (material nonlinearity or large displacements), and can be used most efficiently in the microcomputer. The larger version of COSMOS has the capacity for the analysis of structures modeled up to 64,000 nodes. This fourth edition uses an introductory version that has a capability limited to 50 nodes or 50 elements. This version is included in the supplement, STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS USING COSMOS 1. The sets of educational programs in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering that accompanied the third edition have now been extended and updated. These sets include programs to determine the response in the time or frequency domain using the FFf (Fast Fourier Transform) of structures modeled as a single oscillator. Also included is a program to determine the response of an inelastic system with elastoplastic behavior and a program for the development of seismic response spectral charts. A set of seven computer programs is included for modeling structures as two-dimensional and three dimensional frames and trusses.

Book An Introductory Philosophy of Medicine

Download or read book An Introductory Philosophy of Medicine written by James A. Marcum and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-05-07 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author explores the shifting philosophical boundaries of modern medical knowledge and practice occasioned by the crisis of quality-of-care, especially in terms of the various humanistic adjustments to the biomedical model. To that end he examines the metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical boundaries of these medical models. He begins with their metaphysics, analyzing the metaphysical positions and presuppositions and ontological commitments upon which medical knowledge and practice is founded. Next, he considers the epistemological issues that face these medical models, particularly those driven by methodological procedures undertaken by epistemic agents to constitute medical knowledge and practice. Finally, he examines the axiological boundaries and the ethical implications of each model, especially in terms of the physician-patient relationship. In a concluding Epilogue, he discusses how the philosophical analysis of the humanization of modern medicine helps to address the crisis-of-care, as well as the question of “What is medicine?” The book’s unique features include a comprehensive coverage of the various topics in the philosophy of medicine that have emerged over the past several decades and a philosophical context for embedding bioethical discussions. The book’s target audiences include both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as healthcare professionals and professional philosophers. “This book is the 99th issue of the Series Philosophy and Medicine...and it can be considered a crown of thirty years of intensive and dynamic discussion in the field. We are completely convinced that after its publication, it can be finally said that undoubtedly the philosophy of medicine exists as a special field of inquiry.”
