El algoritmo no es un tema técnico. Es un tema de poder. De quién controla la información, de quién se beneficia de tu atención, de quién gana cuando los otros pierden la capacidad de pensar por sí mismos. ¿Te has preguntado quién decidió qué consumirás hoy en tu teléfono? ¿Por qué crees lo que crees sobre la política, sobre la economía? ¿Cuántas de esas ideas las elegiste y cuántas te fueron servidas por un sistema que sabe exactamente cómo mantenerte enganchado? En la actualidad, el principal medio de reproducción de las narrativas que legitiman la desigualdad son las plataformas digitales.

Behind every great revolution is a vision, and behind perhaps the greatest revolution of our time, personal computing, is the vision of J.C.R. Licklider. In a simultaneously compelling personal narrative and comprehensive historical exposition, Waldrop tells the story of the man who not only instigated the work that led to the internet, but also shifted our understanding of what computers were and could be.

Ready to propel your business into the AI revolution? Curious about how to harness the power of AI, even without technical know-how? Launch into a world of limitless opportunities with ChatGPT, the AI tool that's revolutionizing the landscape of business.

In this updated and expanded edition of Human + Machine—including a new chapter on gen AI—Daugherty and Wilson show that the essence of the AI paradigm shift is the transformation of all business processes within an organization, whether related to breakthrough innovation, everyday customer service, or personal productivity habits. As humans and smart machines collaborate ever more closely, work processes become more fluid and adaptive, enabling companies to change them on the fly—or completely reimagine them.

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.

Chatbots such as the infamous ChatGPT, robotic warehouses, computerized call centres and patient diagnosis. These are just a few of the areas where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are being used to boost revenues, cut costs, save lives and improve customer experiences. As a result, organizations that understand these tools and know how to use them are benefiting at the expense of their rivals. This book cuts through the hype and technical jargon that one often finds when talking about AI and Machine Learning. It delivers a short, concise and non-technical guide for ...

Artificial intelligence is no longer merely a tool of innovation—it is the decisive terrain of a new global conflict. As rival powers race to dominate algorithms, data, and digital infrastructure, the world has entered a new AI cold war, one that will determine whether the future is governed by liberty or by machine-enabled tyranny. In The New AI Cold War, national-security analyst and bestselling author Robert L. Maginnis warns that this struggle is not hypothetical.

Friends. Lovers. Therapists. 'Deathbots'. Artificial intelligence is now fulfilling new roles for millions of us every single day. How are these new 'relationships' changing how we view technology - and each other? Beyond those who are using AI chatbots for administrative tasks, some people are now preparing to adopt children with their AI partners; others are reaching out to companies offering services to 'resurrect' deceased loved ones; others still look to bots to find treatment for their mental health issues.

In The Second Machine Age MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee—two thinkers at the forefront of their field—reveal the forces driving the reinvention of our lives and our economy. As the full impact of digital technologies is felt, we will realize immense bounty in the form of dazzling personal technology, advanced infrastructure, and near-boundless access to the cultural items that enrich our lives. Amid this bounty will also be wrenching change. Recent economic indicators reflect this shift: fewer people are working, and wages are falling even as productivity and profits soar.

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.

Organizations have invested $30–40 billion in AI. According to MIT (2025), 95% produced no measurable return. Only 5% made it into daily workflows. If you're reading this, you're trying not to become that statistic—or you already are. The problem isn't bad technology. Most AI failures don't begin at scale. They begin during pilots, when early success builds confidence without revealing risks that surface once AI enters real workflows and decisions under pressure.

This is a practical, non-technical guide for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and curious minds. This comprehensive guide on agentic AI cuts through the hype and offers a clear, jargon-free strategic roadmap to understanding and applying this technology. The authors bring a rare perspective, having implemented agentic AI across diverse organizations—from global enterprises to agile startups—witnessing both remarkable successes and sobering failures.

We are the last generation to manage only humans. The next will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents. Most leaders are not ready. The rare organizations achieving 200% productivity gains from AI are not using better technology than those achieving 20%. They are managing it differently. The authors learned this from failure. Across many AI deployments, the pattern became clear: capable agents failed not from weak technology, but from a missing management layer.
