Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

"The most important book on AI this year." --The Guardian "Mr. Russell's exciting book goes deep, while sparkling with dry witticisms." --The Wall Street Journal "The most important book I have read in quite some time" (Daniel Kahneman); "A must-read" (Max Tegmark); "The book we've all been...

They had no steel, no electricity, and no computers. They built structures that have lasted four thousand years. Most ancient history books focus on kings and battles. This book focuses on what was actually built — and how. The Great Pyramid. Roman aqueducts. Mesopotamian canal systems. Greek machines. Phoenician harbors. The engineering achievements that made civilization possible, examined through the lens of problem-solving under constraint. What you will learn: How the pyramids were actually built — current theories, evidence, and the organizational engineering behind a 20-year, ...

The battle with the Iron Legion has left The Last Horizon battered and broken, drifting in space. Varic needs an exceptional engineer to fix his ship, and there’s only one person for the job: Mell, the master Aether technician. But first, they have to break her out of prison. Mell has been captured by the Advocates, a group of superpowered vigilantes who dominate their corner of the galaxy. They are led by Starhammer, an invincible champion with a personal obsession with Mell.

A powerful investigation into plastic’s impact on human health and the environment, and how we can fight back.

The AI is wrong constantly. The skill is knowing where to apply it anyway. Every Ignition project worth doing has a PLC, a tag tree, a stack of screens, and a deadline. None of that gets built by an AI alone. All of it can be built faster with one — if the engineer keeps the judgment that the AI cannot have. Solving Ignition Problems with an AI Collaborator describes the working partnership between an experienced controls engineer and a large language model, not as marketing, not as theory, but as it actually runs on real projects. The book is organized around a four-step working loop ...

Have you been wondering about the big issues dominating the news? Is climate change a massive threat or not? What is really going on with immigration? More importantly, how did American politics become so divided and hostile? What if we approached American social, cultural and political problems from a purely rational perspective? What if we focus on functional systems instead of division? Careful analysis of readily available data can help us discover patterns and uncover the real issues.

Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we encountered no evidence, no messages, no artifacts of these extraterrestrials?

Virtual reality is genuine reality; that’s the central thesis of Reality+. In a highly original work of “technophilosophy,” David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future. He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in a virtual world already.
