  In their bestselling first book, Prediction Machines, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb explained the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now, in Power and Prediction, they go deeper, examining the most basic unit of analysis: the decision. The authors explain that the two key decision-making ingredients are prediction and judgment, and we perform both together in our minds, often without realizing it. The rise of AI is shifting prediction from humans to machines, relieving people from this cognitive load while increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions. 
   
   
   
  This sets the stage for a flourishing of new decisions and has profound implications for system-level innovation. Redesigning systems of interdependent decisions takes time, but when these new systems emerge, they can be disruptive on a global scale. Decision-making confers power. In industry, power confers profits; in society, power confers control. This process will have winners and losers, and the authors show how businesses can leverage opportunities, as well as protect their positions. 
   
   
   
  Filled with illuminating insights, rich examples, and practical advice, Power and Prediction is the must-listen guide for any business leader or policymaker on how to make the coming AI disruptions work for you rather than against you.

  In the intricate landscape of human health, microscopic organisms wield a profound and often underestimated power to disrupt our biological systems. Bacterial and parasitic infections represent a complex realm of medical challenges, where silent invaders can transform from seemingly innocuous presences to formidable threats capable of causing significant harm. This comprehensive exploration delves into three distinct yet equally compelling infectious agents: Salmonella, Shigellosis, and Syphilis—each a testament to the sophisticated survival strategies of microorganisms that have coevolved with human populations throughout history. 
  The narrative that unfolds in these pages is not merely a clinical examination, but a revealing journey into the mechanisms of transmission, the intricate interactions between pathogen and host, and the profound medical, social, and historical implications of these infections. From the gastrointestinal disruptions caused by Salmonella to the inflammatory challenges of Shigellosis and the systemic complications of Syphilis, this book uncovers the multifaceted nature of these diseases. By illuminating their biological characteristics, epidemiological patterns, and potential treatment strategies, we aim to provide healthcare professionals, researchers, and interested readers with a nuanced understanding of these silent yet potentially dangerous microbial adversaries.

  As machine-learning systems grow not only more prevalent, but also more powerful, humans want to ensure that they understand us and do what we want, eliminating the possibility of catastrophic divergence. In the field of computer science, this question is known as the alignment problem. 
  In The Alignment Problem (2020), Brian Christian raises questions of safety and ethics in a world where humans are turning into machines and machines are turning into humans. He discusses tools that, through imitation, curiosity, inference, and shaping, exhibit human skills without being programmed to do so. The future of machine learning holds risks, but also great promise.
