When you watch a movie suggested by Netflix's AI, talk to your favorite brand's chatbot, or follow your car's navigation to the new restaurant in town, you interact with AI. Most people are spectators rather than actors in this fast-evolving digital epoch. This is where the insightful journey author Will Davis guides you on will change your perspective. You'll dive into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence, from its early forerunners to the singularity's lofty vision, all simplified for the curious mind.
Inside, you will discover:
- A comprehensive overview of the AI universe
- The fascinating mechanics that power AI, including feedback loops and their critical role
- The intriguing process of amalgamating various AI capabilities to form potent new tools
- Insights into the profound ethical questions raised by AI's rapid advancement
- Real-world applications of AI across multiple spheres—from business to leisure, investment to politics
- Enlightening predictions about AI's future—understand what lies on the horizon for this disruptive technology
- The deep-reaching influence of AI on society and politics—comprehend the consequences of AI beyond the technicalities
- And much more!
With each chapter, you'll realize that understanding AI is no longer an optional hobby; it's a necessity. As everyone strives toward an era where technology shapes every aspect of society, keeping up with AI is imperative for staying informed, resilient, and relevant. Now is the time to move from being a spectator to actively participating in the AI revolution!

The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
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.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation.

And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.
