Book Tips - Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence
Machine learning, neural networks, graphs are building blocks or subsets of the research field of artificial intelligence. This computer science discipline is by no means new. Teaching machines, dolls and robots to think and act like humans is an old human dream. While efforts were initially limited to mechanics, the quest for artificial intelligence took on a new dimension with the emergence of electronic computing devices. The most recent success is the victory of a computer program based on a neural network over the world's best Go player. Because SAP Hana Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) also has neural network functions, these books are strongly recommended - on the way to intelligent ERP.
" If you work with artificial intelligence, you also have to expect natural stupidity. " -Klaus Kornwachs
" Until we know how human intelligence comes about, we cannot create artificial intelligence. " -Reinhard Furrer (1940-1995)
Smart machines
The machines have awakened. They drive cars on their own, learn to cook and wait tables, paint and play music, think and debate. Some already surpass us: They make better diagnoses than doctors, speak 20 languages and recognize technical problems even before a turbine fails. Where is this leading? Are robots and smart computers a blessing for humankind or rather a threat to jobs, privacy and security?
The technological singularity
Technological singularity refers to the point in time when machines controlled by artificial intelligence are able to continuously improve themselves in such a way that they escape human control. Robotics specialist Murray Shanahan describes the various technological developments currently underway around the world that could lead to such an event.
The end of democracy
Will intelligent machines make politics? Yvonne Hofstetter sees clear signs of these developments. Big Data stores our behavior, artificial intelligences analyze our intentions. And because they know us, they can manipulate us, patronize us imperceptibly. The transformation of society into the dominion of artificial intelligence is well underway. We have never democratically voted on whether we actually want it.
Work - Network - Identity
The 21st century has already brought about a rapid development of information technology at this point in time and thus fundamentally changed organizational and economic structures worldwide. Klaus Kornwachs discusses these developments and highlights opportunities that these changes in the network bring for the world of work, and presents active ways of shaping the transformation processes.
Artificial Intelligence Basic Course
All subfields of AI are presented in a compact and application-oriented way in this introduction. From classical logic to reasoning with uncertainty and machine learning to applications such as expert systems or robots capable of learning. The book provides knowledge on the most important methods for representing and processing knowledge and in the increasingly important field of machine learning.
Turing's Cathedral
What is a Turing machine? The simple answer: a universal machine. The answer, understandable to everyone, can be found in a YouTube video - google "turing machine" and "lego" (Go to YouTube videos). The book "Turing's Cathedral" and the video are a must for everyone who wonders how and where the age of digitalization can be located in the history of mankind and culture.
Superintelligence
Bostrom outlines possible scenarios for how the birth of superintelligence might proceed, and devotes considerable time to the consequences of this revolution.They will be global, profoundly altering our economic, social, and political lives.We must act, collectively, before the genie is let out of the bottle-that is, now!That is the eminently political message of this book, as exciting as it is important.
Neural networks
The book is obviously written for users in the field of cognitive psychology and answers questions about neural networks from their perspective.However, the revised and expanded second edition of the textbook provides a sound introduction to the fundamentals, applications, and data analysis of neural networks for everyone - including computer scientists.The practical section based on Visual-XSel, MemBrain, and SPSS is particularly helpful.
Artificial intelligence
Since its inception, AI research has been associated with grand visions of the future of humanity.So is "artificial intelligence" replacing humans?This book is a plea for technology design: AI must prove itself as a service in society.The author Prof. Klaus Mainzer studied mathematics, physics and philosophy at the University of Münster, where he also earned his doctorate in philosophy (1973) and his habilitation.
The ruling formula
Kai Schlieter shows how politics and business use Big Data for their own purposes, how we are all manipulated, and why no one can escape it.Everywhere people leave data traces and are encouraged by more and more players to disclose more and more data. Smaller and smaller sensors measure almost every expression of life in real time.Intelligent algorithms make people's unconscious actions visible from data universes.
