The Age of Living Machines describes some of the most exciting new developments and the scientists and engineers who helped create them. Virus-built batteries. Protein-based water filters. Cancer-detecting nanoparticles. Mind-reading bionic limbs. Computer-engineered crops. Together they highlight the promise of the technology revolution of the 21st century to overcome some of the greatest humanitarian, medical, and environmental challenges of our time. 

Our fascination with AI stems from the perceived uniqueness of human intelligence. We believe it's what differentiates us. Fears of AI not only concern how it invades our digital lives, but also the implied threat of an intelligence that displaces us from our position at the centre of the world. Neil D. Lawrence's visionary book shows why these fears may be misplaced. By contrasting our own intelligence with the capabilities of machine intelligence through history, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities and limitations of AI systems, and how they should be wielded.

PLAYING WITH REALITY explores the riveting history of games since the Enlightenment, weaving an unexpected path through military theory, biology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and the future of democracy. As neuroscientist and physicist Kelly Clancy shows us, games have been deeply intertwined with the arc of history. War games shaped the outcomes of real wars in nineteenth and twentieth century Europe. Game theory warped our understanding of human behavior and brought us to the brink of annihilation.

Сложно представить себе мир, где каждый ребенок, независимо от места жительства и уровня дохода родителей, получает персонализированное образование высочайшего качества. Мир, где учителя получают «суперспособности» и сосредоточены на творчестве и поддержке своих учеников, в то время как искусственный интеллект (ИИ) берет на себя рутинные задачи.

Биотехнология вошла в жизнь человека примерно 10 000 лет назад, когда дрожжи и бактерии стали помогать людям делать сыр и печь хлеб. Но мир меняется, и еда меняется вместе с ним. За последние несколько десятков лет новые биотех-­подходы изменили растениеводство и животноводство до неузнаваемости и внедрились во все сферы пищевой промышленности.

In an era where artificial intelligence can create content indistinguishable from reality, how do we separate truth from fiction? In FAIK: A Practical Guide to Living in a World of Deepfakes, Disinformation, and AI-Generated Deceptions, cybersecurity and deception expert Perry Carpenter unveils the hidden dangers of generative artificial intelligence, showing you how to use these technologies safely while protecting yourself and others from cyber scams and threats.

Представьте, что у вас появился личный ассистент, который работает 24/7, никогда не устает и готов помочь в любой ситуации — от планирования ужина до запуска собственного блога, от изучения английского до решения карьерных вопросов. Этот помощник уже есть у каждого из нас — это нейросети. Но почему одни получают от них потрясающие результаты, а другие — лишь шаблонные ответы? Секрет в правильно составленных промтах — запросах, которые превращают искусственный интеллект в вашего идеального помощника.

Дамир Халилов, один из первых в России экспертов по нейросетям, создал практический инструмент для родителей — 204 готовых промта, разработанных по его собственной методике. Эти шаблоны позволяют за секунды сгенерировать запрос и получить индивидуальные ответы для решения задач, связанных с учебой, развитием, здоровьем, воспитанием и безопасностью вашего ребенка. Автор подробно описывает, как освоить безопасное использование ИИ-инструментов и адаптировать промты под специфику семьи.

A inteligência artificial já está entre nós. Criada à nossa imagem e semelhança, ela reflete e reproduz os padrões da sociedade. Portanto, é muito fácil deduzir que, se a IA aprende conosco, ela vai repetir não só nossas qualidades, mas também nossos defeitos. Isso significa que devemos temê-la? Estamos próximos das distopias de ficção científica quando falamos de IA? O que precisamos saber para lidar de forma saudável com essa tecnologia?

Emily M. Bender e Alex Hanna spiegano perché le tecnologie vendute come "intelligenza artificiale" non sono una magia capace di risolvere ogni problema. L'IA di oggi è fatta di sistemi statistici su larga scala, che producono linguaggio e immagini senza comprenderli ‒ non un'intelligenza pensante ma «pappagalli stocastici». Le autrici ne sfatano i falsi miti e mettono in luce le insidie del loro impiego in ambiti chiave ‒ lavoro, sanità, giustizia, istruzione, scienza, arte e giornalismo.
