Sinossi

"Data Bias Exposed" offers a compelling examination of how machine learning algorithms perpetuate and amplify human prejudices through biased training data, affecting millions of lives in crucial areas like healthcare, employment, and financial services.The book uniquely combines technical analysis with social justice perspectives, demonstrating how historical discriminatory practices continue to influence modern automated decision-making systems, creating what the author terms a "cycle of automated inequality."Through a well-structured progression, the book first introduces readers to real-world cases of algorithmic bias in familiar technologies like facial recognition and lending algorithms. It then delves into the technical and social mechanisms behind these biases, drawing from interdisciplinary research spanning computer science, sociology, and ethics. The analysis is supported by original interviews with AI researchers, affected communities, and industry leaders, providing a comprehensive view of both problems and potential solutions.The final section presents practical frameworks for developing more equitable AI systems, making this book particularly valuable for technology professionals and policymakers. By combining rigorous analysis with accessible explanations, the author bridges the gap between technical complexity and social impact, offering concrete tools for detecting and mitigating algorithmic bias. The book's approach to balancing innovation with equity makes it an essential resource for anyone concerned about the fair implementation of AI in society.

    From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing.    For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species—fish and man—live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us—author Mark Kurlansky included—are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch.      Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.

    Conversations for skeptics
    
    How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
    
    These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
    The authors:
    Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
    Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.
