Machine Intelligence

Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

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.

A Wharton professor and tech entrepreneur examines how algorithms and artificial intelligence are starting to run every aspect of our lives, and how we can shape the way they impact us Through the technology embedded in almost every major tech platform and every web-enabled device, algorithms...

The History of Scientific Breakthroughs: The Discoveries That Changed How We Understand Reality BOOK 7: Mind, Machines, and Intelligence: How Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Were Born explores one of the most transformative breakthroughs in modern history: the idea that thought itself could be formalized, mechanized, and eventually carried out by machines. Tracing the origins of computation from philosophy and mathematics to early computing devices and artificial intelligence research, this book reveals how abstract ideas about logic and reasoning reshaped science, technology, ...

The deep-learning revolution has brought us driverless cars, the greatly improved Google Translate, fluent conversations with Siri and Alexa, and enormous profits from automated trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Deep-learning networks can play poker better than professional poker players and defeat a world champion at Go. In this book, Terry Sejnowski explains how deep learning went from being an arcane academic field to a disruptive technology in the information economy.

Combining technical rigor and deep up-to-the-minute knowledge about AI development, the natural sciences (especially neuroscience), and philosophical literacy, "What Is Intelligence?" argues—quite against the grain—that certain modern AI systems do indeed have a claim to intelligence, consciousness, and free will.

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

A “deeply stimulating and disarmingly accessible” (Robert Sapolsky, author of Determined) journey into the inner workings of human and artificial minds When we are trying to solve a problem, what happens? We find ourselves weighing arguments, or relying on intuition, then reaching a...

200 ChatGPT Tips is your guide to unleashing the full force of ChatGPT. Although ChatGPT is a groundbreaking tool, many users only scratch the surface of its potential. They underutilize the app's capabilities by sticking to standard interactions and prompts. However, ChatGPT can converse with you in natural language, making tasks like brainstorming, planning, analyzing, and problem-solving more convenient and enjoyable.

What if everything we think we know about AI is incomplete? A former indie developer noticed something strange: wrong answers from language models clustered together in predictable patterns. That observation led to a theory—and an 84% reduction in inference error. THE MATHEMATICS OF INTELLIGENCE presents the CIC (Compression-Integration-Coherence) framework: a unified theory connecting information theory, statistical mechanics, and neural computation. The central claim is precise and falsifiable: Intelligence = Compression = Free Energy Minimization This isn't philosophy. It's mathematics...
