  In "Democratizing Artificial Intelligence to Benefit Everyone", Dr Jacques Ludik takes us not only on a holistic sense-making journey and lays a foundation to synthesize a more balanced view and better understanding of AI, its applications, its benefits, its risks, its limitations, its progress, and its likely future paths, but also taps into his wealth of experience, knowledge, and sense-making ability as a smart technology entrepreneur with a PhD in AI, founder of multiple AI companies and three decades of experience in AI and its applications world-wide. The book helps us to more accurately understand where we are heading given the current dynamics on a global and national economic and political level as well as across ideologies and industries. Specific solutions are also shared to address AI’s potential negative impacts, designing AI for social good and beneficial outcomes, building human-compatible AI that is ethical and trustworthy, addressing bias and discrimination, and the skills and competencies needed for a human-centric AI-driven workplace. Dr Ludik is specifically arguing for a more decentralized beneficial human-centric future where AI and its benefits can be democratized to as many people as possible. He specifically examines what it means to be human and living meaningfully in the 21st century and shares some ideas for reshaping our civilization for beneficial outcomes as well as various potential outcomes for the future of civilization. Dr Jacques Ludik also proposes a Massive Transformative Purpose for Humanity and associated goals that complement the United Nations’ 2030 vision and sustainable development goals to help shape a beneficial human-centric future in a decentralized hyperconnected world. As a practical step, he also invites people to participate in the development, deployment and use of a decentralized, human-centric, and user-controlled AI-driven super platform called Sapiens.

  Essential Austrian Economics The...

  The origin of the Austrian School of economics is the publication of Carl Menger’s Principles of Economics in 1871. Menger, William Stanley Jevons, and Léon Walras are considered the co-founders of the “marginal revolution” in economics, a shift to the marginal utility theory of value from the labour theory of value. The revolutionists argued that value is not based on the amount of labour expended but reflects how useful people perceive the commodity to be in satisfying their ends. 
  This revolution had radical implications for the way economists understood the world: consumer valuations, and not the amount of effort, is what determines prices. But what determines consumer valuations? This question had long perplexed social scientists. Why do consumers value diamonds, a luxury item, more than water, an essential for life? By introducing the concept of marginal utility, Menger and his co-revolutionaries were able to resolve this paradox. 
  The labour theory of value, however, was not Menger’s only target in his Principles. He was also engaging the German Historical School, which held that economic science is incapable of producing universal principles. In contrast, Menger, using marginal utility analysis as a foundation, argued that universal economic laws do apply across time and geographic space. Those in the German Historical School took issue with the claims by Menger and his colleagues about the possibility of universal theory and labeled them the “Austrian School” because they taught at the University of Vienna. 
  Subsequent generations of scholars have developed the insights of the Austrian School. The purpose of this book is to present an overview of the key tenets of Austrian economics by synthesizing the insights from these thinkers in a set of eight topics that capture the core elements of Austrian economics.

  Two leaders in the growing field of impact investing define this  emerging industry for participants on all sides of the funding  equation (investors, funders and social entrepreneurs), showcasing  compelling examples of success as well as the potential to expand  the field to address the most critical social and  environmental issues of our day on a scale never seen before.   This will be the first book to chart the catalytic path of this  new industry, explaining how it is already and can be a positive  disruptive force. It will show how impact investing is a  transformational vehicle for delivering blended value  throughout the investment spectrum giving a single name to a set of  activities previously siloed in enclaves revealing how they  are linked within what is becoming a new field of investing. The  authors will show how various pioneers are already undertaking  impact investments for multiple returns, reveal the power of this  new industry and its wide-ranging applications as well as  entrepreneurial opportunities it offers.  The breakthrough of this book is that it does not take a  normative approach to argue how investors should behave like  an investment guide might. Instead, it sheds light on how  entrepreneurial people and institutions are already offering  an integrated alternative. Building on compelling examples, the  book will also offer a clear guide to how readers can support the  industrys growth and development.
