What's next? : even scientists can't predict the future - or can they? af Jim Al-Khalili (red.) (Bog)

Bagsideteksten beskriver, hvordan teknologisk udvikling skaber fundamentet for forandringer i verden. Hvor vi tidligere primært har set hurtig digitalisering, er bioteknologi, robotter, kunstig intelligens og andre områder nu også blevet digitale og vil accelerere eksponentielt. Bogen forklarer, hvordan disse teknologier udvikler sig, og giver en metode til at forstå og udnytte eksponentiel teknologiudvikling strategisk. Pointen er, at udviklingen ikke blot er hurtig, men eksponentielt voksende og dermed forandrer vilkår for virksomheder, samfund og individer. Type: Paperback Dansk fagbog om eksponentiel teknologisk udvikling og dens betydning for samfund, erhvervsliv og den enkelte. Bogen forklarer begrebet eksponentiel acceleration og viser, hvordan digitalisering og nye teknologier ændrer verden hurtigere og mere gennemgribende end tidligere. Den gennemgår blandt andet bioteknologi, r

“A quintessential work of technological futurism.” – James Surowiecki, strategy + business, “Best Business Books 2017 – Innovation” From one of our leading technology thinkers and writers, a guide through the twelve technological imperatives that will shape the next thirty years and transform our lives Much of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion. In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces. Kelly both describes these deep trends—interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, track

AI is the future of science, technology, and business - and there is no person better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark. What has AI brought us? Where will it lead us? The story of AI is the story of intelligence - of life processes as they evolve from bacteria (1.0) to humans (2.0), where life processes define their own software, to technology (3.0), where life processes design both their hardware and software. It raises questions that we all need to address: What jobs should be automated? How should our legal systems handle autonomous systems? How likely is the emergence of suprahuman intelligence? These are the issues at the heart of this book and its unique perspective, which seeks a ground apart from techno-skepticism and digital utopia Titel: Life 3.0 : being human in the age of artificial intelligence Genre: Faglitteratur Type: Paperback

As smartphones, supercomputers, supercolliders, and AI propel us into an ever more unfamiliar future, How to Speak Science takes us on a rollicking historical tour of the greatest discoveries and ideas that make todayÕs cuttingÐedge technologies possible. Wanting everyone to be able to ÒspeakÓ science, YouTube science guru Bruce Benamran explainsÐas accessibly and wittily as in his acclaimed videosÐthe fundamental ideas of the physical world: matter, life, the solar system, light, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, special and general relativity, and much more. Along the way, Benamran guides us through the wildest hypotheses and most ingenious ideas of Galileo, Newton, Curie, Einstein, and scienceÕs other greatest minds, reminding us that while they werenÕt always exactly right, they were always curious. How to Speak Science acquaints us not only with what scientists know, but how they th

Bogen introducerer læseren til den internationale debat om den "tredje kultur", hvor fremtrædende naturvidenskabelige forskere fungerer som samtidens vigtigste intellektuelle stemmer. John Brockman præsenterer en række portrætter og idéinterview med forskere, der arbejder inden for områder som evolutionsbiologi, genetik, kosmologi, computervidenskab, neurovidenskab og psykologi. Gennem deres teorier og refleksioner diskuteres grundlæggende spørgsmål: Hvordan opstod universet? Hvordan er liv og bevidsthed blevet til? Hvad siger moderne naturvidenskab om menneskets natur og kultur? Bogen argumenterer for, at disse forskere udgør en ny kulturel elite, som både udfordrer og supplerer humanistiske traditioner og klassisk filosofi, og at deres arbejde har dybe konsekvenser for vores forståelse af verden og os selv.
