Summary

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.

    Climate Hope - Stories of Action...

    Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
     
     
     
    In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
