Showing results for "Technology and Society" in Science

In Understanding Artificial Intelligence: Of Minds and Machines, philosopher Patrick Grim traces the story of AI from ancient legends to the neural networks behind today’s breakthroughs. You see how modern systems became so powerful so quickly. You also explore the very meaning of “intelligence,” discovering how modern AI succeeds by drawing on three resources: vast datasets that let systems learn from examples; deep-learning architectures loosely modeled on the brain’s layers; and feedback loops that help models refine their behavior.

Ryan Cole explores the explosive rise of AI voice clones, digital twins, and behavioral replicas that are already scaling brands, fueling scams, and blurring identity. Each episode unpacks a different dimension of clone tech—from three-second audio theft to immortality-as-a-service—with urgency, dark humor, and relentless skepticism.

New York Times, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Discover bestselling author Steven Kotler has written extensively about those pivotal moments when science fiction became science fact...and fundamentally reshaped the world. Now he gathers the best of his best, updated and expanded upon, to guide listeners on a mind-bending tour of the far frontier, and how these advances are radically transforming our lives.

Once we step on the treadmill of progress, it's hard to step off. Yet Edward Tenner shows that human ingenuity can be applied in self-preservation as well, and he sheds light on the ways in which the users of commonplace technology surprise designers and engineers, as when early typists developed the touch method still employed on today's keyboards. And he offers concrete advice for reaping benefits from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without. Although dependent on these objects, we can also use them to liberate ourselves.

Wie politisch darf Wissenschaft sein? Harald Lesch gibt Antworten. Coronapandemie, Klimakrise - wir leben in einer Zeit vielschichtiger Probleme. Täglich neue Erkenntnisse erschweren uns die Antwort auf die Frage: "Was sollen wir tun?" Hier sind vor allem auch die Naturwissenschaften gefragt: Sie können erklären, Fakten liefern, Orientierung geben, Lösungen bieten. Doch gerade sie stehen neuerdings fundamental in der Kritik. Von Anmaßung der Forscher und Ideologie ist die Rede. Der bekannte Physiker Harald Lesch und der Publizist Klaus Kamphausen appellieren an uns alle.
