Self-learning machines called AIs are popping up all around us. They're real, and really important. They're affecting our lives--as workers, consumers, investors, citizens, patients and students. AIs bring huge promise, but also existential risk. The biggest risk isn't killer robots--it's the renegade leaders, despots, and unrestrained hackers everywhere we should worry about. Charles Jennings' insightful new book, Artificial Intelligence: The Rise...
4) What is artificial intelligence?: a conversation between an AI engineer and a humanities researcher

Description
"This book engages with the title question: what is artificial intelligence (AI)? Instead of reiterating received definitions or surveying the field from a disciplinary perspective, the question is engaged here by putting two standpoints into conversation. The standpoints are different in their disciplinary groundings--i.e., technology and the humanities--and also in their approaches--i.e., applied and conceptual. Peter is an AI engineer: his approach...

Augmenting human intelligence is a lot tougher than it looks; the promise of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey is still just a fantasy. But scientists are edging closer with machines like Watson, an IBM computing system that is gearing up for a first-of-its-kind challenge: competing on the game show JEOPARDY!, taking on Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter - two of the show's most successful and celebrated contestants of all time. With a brain the size of 2,400...
