  Ethical Machines - Your Concise...

  The promise of artificial intelligence is automated decision-making at scale, but that means AI also automates risk at scale. Are you prepared for that risk? 
   
   
   
  Already, many companies have suffered real damage when their algorithms led to discriminatory, privacy-invading, and even deadly outcomes. Self-driving cars have hit pedestrians; HR algorithms have precluded women from job searches; mortgage systems have denied loans to qualified minorities. And often the companies who deployed the AI couldn't explain why the black box made the decision it did. 
   
   
   
  In Ethical Machines, Reid Blackman gives you all you need to understand AI ethics as a risk management challenge. He'll help you build, procure, and deploy AI in a way that's not only ethical but also safe in terms of your organization's reputation, regulatory compliance, and legal standing—and do it at scale. And don't worry—the book's purpose is to get work done, not to ponder deep and existential questions about ethics and technology. Blackman's clear and accessible writing helps make a complex and often misunderstood concept like ethics easy to grasp. Most importantly, Blackman makes ethics actionable by tackling the big three ethical risks with AI—bias, explainability, and privacy—and tells you what to do (and what not to do) to mitigate them.

  Demystifying IT - The Language...

  Information technology isn’t magic. But used strategically, in its many forms, it can literally be a “superpower” that fuels a company into new realms of growth and profit. Most midsized companies today are leaving much of their IT potential on the table. Authors Bhopi Dhali and Saurajit Kanungo — experts in both business and digital tech — have distilled their years of hands-on experience into a guidebook for tapping the potential. Drawing on examples from Spider-Man (really!) to case stories of companies they’ve helped to succeed, they peel away the bewilderment and frustration that executives often encounter in dealing with IT. Beneath those layers, key management principles emerge. These principles can make digitization projects pay bottom-line returns instead of draining the budget. And can make any company fit to lead, not fated to lose, in today’s digital age.

  Most of the old factories are long gone and many workers have retired. Combining history, memory and heritage, Theatres of Memory: Industrial Heritage of 20th Century Singapore takes a stroll through Singapore’s industrial past. From Jurong to Redhill and Kallang, the book uncovers the many hands that enabled the island’s transformation from a colonial entrepôt to an industrial nation. 
   
  Along the way, we will meet the pioneers of industry—government officials and production workers, men and women, Singaporeans and foreigners.

  When Animals Dream - The Hidden...

  Are humans the only dreamers on Earth? What goes on in the minds of animals when they sleep? When Animals Dream brings together behavioral and neuroscientific research on animal sleep with philosophical theories of dreaming. It shows that dreams provide an invaluable window into the cognitive and emotional lives of nonhuman animals, giving us access to a seemingly inaccessible realm of animal experience. 
   
   
   
  David Peña-Guzmán uncovers evidence of animal dreaming throughout the scientific literature, suggesting that many animals run "reality simulations" while asleep, with a dream-ego moving through a dynamic and coherent dreamscape. He builds a convincing case for animals as conscious beings and examines the thorny scientific, philosophical, and ethical questions it raises. Once we accept that animals dream, we incur a host of moral obligations and have no choice but to rethink our views about who animals are and the interior lives they lead. 
   
   
   
  A mesmerizing journey into the otherworldly domain of nonhuman consciousness, When Animals Dream carries profound implications for contemporary debates about animal cognition, animal ethics, and animal rights, challenging us to regard animals as beings who matter, and for whom things matter.
