Summary : This new collection of essays follows in the footsteps of the successful volume Thinking Ahead - Essays on Big Data, Digital Revolution, and Participatory Market Society, published at a time when our societies were on a path to technological totalitarianism, as exemplified by mass surveillance reported by Edward Snowden and others. Meanwhile the threats have diversified and tech companies have gathered enough data to create detailed profiles about almost everyone living in the modern world - profiles that can predict our behavior better than our friends, families, or even partners. This is not only used to manipulate peoples’ opinions and voting behaviors, but more generally to influence consumer behavior at all levels. It is becoming increasingly clear that we are rapidly heading towards a cybernetic society, in which algorithms and social bots aim to control both the societal dynamics and individual behaviors. span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: However there are also silver linings: most of the threats that have accumulated over the past years have been identified and regulations are on the way to being introduced. Furthermore, entirely novel approaches based on blockchain technology and other developments derived from complexity science offer the possibility of entirely redefining collective trust and building platforms to support our core societal values. span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: This book conveys an encouraging vision of the future and provides a sketch of how it may look: The road to digital enlightenment is still open, but it needs to be taken now./pbrp

Summary : Künstliche Intelligenz ist in unserem Alltag angekommen. Anwendung findet KI ebenso bereits in unterschiedlichen Branchen wie der Logistik, Medizin, Finanz- oder Landwirtschaft. Auch das ist ein Zeichen für einen grundlegenden technologischen Wandel mit umfangreichen Folgen und Effekten. Generative KI - also jene, die etwas scheinbar aus sich selbst heraus hervorbringen kann, wie beispielsweise ChatGPT oder Midjourney - führt Menschen im Sinne des Wortes sichtbar vor Augen, dass viele unserer Tätigkeiten, die wir unter ,,Arbeit" oder unserem ,,Job" subsumieren von KI übernommen werden könnten. Wie sollte also eine Arbeitsteilung zwischen KI-Systemen und Menschen aussehen, die ihren jeweiligen einzigartigen Kompetenzen gerecht wird und robuste und nachhaltige Entscheidungen fördert? Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Technologien und Prinzipien Künstlicher Intelligenz sowie die Einführung von KI-Technologien in Unternehmen und die damit verbundenen Change-Prozesse. Es werden die aktuell wichtigsten Anwendungsfelder von Künstlicher Intelligenz in unterschiedlichen Branchen und Industrien beschrieben sowie zahlreiche Beispiele zur nachhaltigen KI-Nutzung und zum Aufbau notwendiger Kompetenzen. Außerdem wird die menschliche Intuition dargestellt und analysiert. Hierbei wird immer wieder Bezug auf Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede genommen, um Künstliche Intelligenz (Artificial Intelligence) und menschliche Intuition (Archaic Intellience) ihren Domänen entsprechend zu entwickeln und damit zu resilienten, nachhaltigen Strategien und Entscheidungen zu gelangen. Der Inhalt Stand der Forschung Funktion und Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz Funktion und Einsatz von menschlicher Intuition Wie KI und Intuition genutzt werden sollten AI + AI - Archaische Intelligenz im Zeitalter von Artificial Intelligence Der Autor Andreas Moring ist Professor für Digitalwirtschaft und Künstliche Intelligenz an der International School of Management (ISM) und Leiter des juS.TECH Instituts für Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Sustainability in Hamburg.

Summary : After a long time of neglect, Artificial Intelligence is once again at the center of most of our political, economic, and socio-cultural debates. Recent advances in the field of Artifical Neural Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for advertising or propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and Internet technologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net politics in the age of machine learning algorithms?

Genre : Cartography
Summary : It established new concepts for mobile cartography and showed the differences, but also the similarities towards traditional cartography and web cartography. The main focus is on the elaboration of adaptive methods for visualisation of geographic information for mobile usage, i.e. on mobile devices. Adaptation takes place in the components such as the mobile user, his/her activities with associated goals, as well as the situation they are placed in. The usage scenarios described were helpful for the implementation of a rudimentary, prototypical adaptive geovisualisation service for mobile users. The service for the example of point symbol maps was implemented based on open-standard formats and served as a proof of concept. It basically demonstrates how a mobile client can send as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) encoded context parameters to a web service

Summary : This book takes a look at fully automated, autonomous vehicles and discusses many open questions: How can autonomous vehicles be integrated into the current transportation system with diverse users and human drivers? Where do automated vehicles fall under current legal frameworks? What risks are associated with automation and how will society respond to these risks? How will the marketplace react to automated vehicles and what changes may be necessary for companies? Experts from Germany and the United States define key societal, engineering, and mobility issues related to the automation of vehicles. They discuss the decisions programmers of automated vehicles must make to enable vehicles to perceive their environment, interact with other road users, and choose actions that may have ethical consequences. The authors further identify expectations and concerns that will form the basis for individual and societal acceptance of autonomous driving. While the safety benefits of such vehicles are tremendous, the authors demonstrate that these benefits will only be achieved if vehicles have an appropriate safety concept at the heart of their design. Realizing the potential of automated vehicles to reorganize traffic and transform mobility of people and goods requires similar care in the design of vehicles and networks. By covering all of these topics, the book aims to provide a current, comprehensive, and scientifically sound treatment of the emerging field of “autonomous driving".

Summary : From the Industrial Revolution to the age of artificial intelligence, Carl Benedikt Frey offers a sweeping account of the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society's members. As the author shows, the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population.These trends broadly mirror those in our current age of automation. But, just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. Benedikt Frey demonstrates that in the midst of another technological revolution, the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present. --From publisher description.
