I shouldn't think he did, the General Secretary answered. "If I hadn't always found you a very reliable fellow-and if it wasn't for Lord Arglay-I met him once on a Commission and he seemed a very level-headed sort of man. But this.... No, I won't. The whole thing's too ridiculous.... But what the devil can it be they've got hold of? Tell me all about it again."

The Shang Dynasty, often considered the first historically confirmed dynasty of ancient China, marked the beginning of a new era in Chinese civilization. Flourishing from around 1600 to 1046 BCE, the Shang established a highly organized society, developed a complex system of governance, and made significant advancements in art, technology, and culture. Their rise to power followed the decline of the Xia Dynasty, an era that remains shrouded in legend, with little concrete archaeological evidence to confirm its existence. The emergence of the Shang brought structure, stability, and a more defined political system, setting the foundation for future dynasties. According to traditional Chinese historical accounts, the Shang Dynasty was founded by Tang, a ruler known for his wisdom and leadership. He is said to have overthrown the last Xia king, who was notorious for his tyranny and misrule. This transition of power was not merely a change in leadership but a transformation of governance, as the Shang kings implemented a more centralized authority, strengthening their control over vast territories. The establishment of their capital, which shifted multiple times during the dynasty’s rule, demonstrated their adaptability and strategic planning. The most well-documented capital, Yinxu (near present-day Anyang), provides extensive archaeological evidence of Shang civilization.Voir livre
In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.Voir livre
