Sinopsis

Artificial Beings explores the fascinating relationship between artificial intelligence as depicted in science fiction and the realities of scientific research. It examines how AI narratives in literature, film, and television both reflect and influence our understanding of AI's potential, ethical considerations, and the very definition of what it means to be human. One intriguing insight is how fictional portrayals act as a crucial testing ground for exploring the possible consequences, both positive and negative, of increasingly sophisticated AI, shaping public perception and research priorities. The book also delves into the semantic challenges inherent in defining and understanding artificial intelligence, addressing the ambiguities that arise when creating machines in our image. The book uniquely treats fiction not as mere entertainment but as a valuable source of insight into the societal and ethical implications of AI and robotics. The approach emphasizes the interplay between cultural consciousness and scientific advancement. Starting with the historical roots of AI in both science and fiction, it traces milestones in AI research alongside recurring themes in fictional works. Subsequent chapters focus on the challenges of imbuing AI with human-like qualities and the ethical implications of advanced AI, drawing parallels between fictional scenarios and real-world concerns like algorithmic bias and autonomous weapons. This comprehensive overview equips readers with critical thinking skills to navigate the complex world of AI.

Slippery Beast - A True Crime...

Ellen Ruppel Shell

What is it about eels? Depending on who you ask, they are a pest, a fascination, a threat, a pot of gold. Eels emerged some 200 million years ago, weathered mass extinctions and continental shifts, and were once among the world's most abundant freshwater fish. But since the 1970s, their numbers have plummeted. Because eels—as unagi—are another thing: delicious. 
 
 
 
In Slippery Beast, journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell travels in the world of "eel people," pursuing a fascination with this mysterious creature. Despite centuries of study by thinkers from Aristotle to Leeuwenhoek to Sigmund Freud, much about eels remains unknown. Eels cannot be bred reliably in captivity and infant eels are unbelievably valuable. A pound of the tiny, translucent, bug-eyed "elvers" caught in the fresh waters of Maine can command $3,000 or more on the black market. Illegal trade in eels is an international scandal measured in billions of dollars every year. In Maine, federal investigators have risked their lives to bust poaching rings. 
 
 
 
Ruppel Shell follows the elusive eel from Maine to the Sargasso Sea, stalking riversides, fishing holes, laboratories, restaurants, courtrooms, and America's first commercial eel "family farm." This is an enthralling, globe-spanning look at an animal that you may never come to love, but which will never fail to astonish you.

City Livability - Enhancing...

Lyric Vale

City livability refers to the quality of life experienced by individuals living in urban areas. It encompasses a wide range of factors that contribute to the overall well-being of urban residents, from physical infrastructure to social, economic, and environmental conditions. The livability of a city is shaped by its ability to provide access to essential services, promote a sense of community, ensure safety, and foster opportunities for growth and development. It is a reflection of how well a city meets the needs of its inhabitants, both in terms of their immediate surroundings and their broader quality of life.
At its core, livability is about the balance between convenience, comfort, and sustainability. In urban environments, where high population densities often lead to challenges such as congestion, pollution, and inequality, creating a livable city is crucial for ensuring that residents not only survive but thrive. It is not just about basic services such as healthcare, education, and transportation but also about creating spaces where people can connect, engage with their surroundings, and find opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment.
The concept of city livability is also deeply intertwined with urban planning and design. How a city is structured – its streets, buildings, parks, and neighborhoods – directly impacts its livability. A well-planned city can promote walkability, offer green spaces for recreation, reduce noise and air pollution, and ensure efficient access to transportation networks. Conversely, poorly designed cities may suffer from overcrowded and polluted areas, limited green spaces, and inadequate public infrastructure.
