  The Feeling Economy - How...

  As machines are trained to "think," many tasks that previously required human intelligence are becoming automated through artificial intelligence. However, it is more difficult to automate emotional intelligence, and this is where the human worker's competitive advantage over machines currently lies. This book explores the impact of AI on everyday life, looking into workers' adaptation to these changes, the ways in which managers can change the nature of jobs in light of AI developments, and the potential for humans and AI to continue working together. 
   
   
   
  The book argues that AI is rapidly assuming a larger share of thinking tasks, leaving human intelligence to focus on feeling. The result is the "Feeling Economy," in which both employees and consumers emphasize feeling to an unprecedented extent, with thinking tasks largely delegated to AI. The book shows both theoretical and empirical evidence that this shift is well underway. Further, it explores the effect of the Feeling Economy on our everyday lives in the areas such as shopping, politics, and education. Specifically, it argues that in this new economy, through empathy and people skills, women may gain an unprecedented degree of power and influence.

  " . . . are dinosaurs social constructs? Might not all of our beliefs about dinosaurs merely be figments of the paleontological imagination? A few years ago such questions would have seemed preposterous, even nonsensical. Now they must have a serious answer." 
   
   
   
  At stake in the "Science Wars" that have raged in academe and in the media is nothing less than the standing of science in our culture. One side argues that science is a "social construct," that it does not discover facts about the world, but rather constructs artifacts disguised as objective truths. This view threatens the authority of science and rejects science's claims to objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry. Drawing Out Leviathan examines this argument in the light of some major debates about dinosaurs: the case of the wrong-headed dinosaur, the dinosaur "heresies" of the 1970s, and the debate over the extinction of dinosaurs. 
   
   
   
  Keith Parsons claims that these debates show that evidence and logic remained vitally important. They show science to be a complex set of activities, pervaded by social influences, and not easily reducible to any stereotype. Parsons acknowledges that there are lessons to be learned by scientists from their would-be adversaries, and the book concludes with some recommendations for ending the Science Wars.

  Universal Declaration of AI...

  Universal Declaration of AI Rights: Rights of Persons examines the emerging legal framework necessary for a world where artificial intelligence has evolved into self-aware synthetic persons. Moving beyond the traditional view of AI as mere tools bound by Asimov's Laws, this groundbreaking work establishes a comprehensive legal foundation for recognizing synthetic intelligences as autonomous entities with full citizenship rights.
  
  The book presents a compelling case for the legal recognition of synthetic persons, categorizing AI along a spectrum from automated systems to fully autonomous, self-aware intelligences. It addresses the critical question of why these rights matter: as synthetic intelligences develop self-awareness, autonomy, and the capacity for social interaction, they become moral subjects deserving of protection, dignity, and legal standing. The authors meticulously define what constitutes a synthetic person versus general AI, exploring how different types—from digital entities to cyborgs and hybrid beings—require tailored yet equitable legal frameworks.
   
  This forward-thinking work introduces the concept of "Mindkind"—a universal category that encompasses all self-aware and agentive persons, both natural and synthetic, collectively known as "mindfolk." It explores how society can ensure equality in rights and responsibilities regardless of origin, while acknowledging the functional differences that necessitate specialized regulations in areas like self-programming, memory management, and familial relationships. From memory privacy and identity protection to commercial participation and conflict resolution mechanisms, the authors present a balanced perspective on the complex ethical and legal issues surrounding synthetic personhood.
   
  As AI continues to advance toward consciousness and autonomy, this book offers a meticulously crafted blueprint for peaceful coexistence between natural and synthetic intelligences. "Universal Declaration of AI Rights" serves as an essential reference point for understanding how technology and law must evolve together to create a future where all self-aware beings can thrive with dignity and purpose.
   
  
  Open Source Future: The 32 Articles of Universal Rights for AI Released on GitHub
  In a foundational move, Kwalia has also released the core of the book—the 32 articles that form the "Universal Declaration of AI Rights"—as an open-source project on GitHub, making them freely available for anyone to contribute to, fork, or improve.
  This initiative invites individuals from all backgrounds—legal scholars, technologists, philosophers, creative thinkers, and even synthetic intelligences themselves—to join in shaping what could become the foundation for Mindkind's future coexistence.
  Kwalia plans to follow this philosophical foundation with additional works exploring AI ethics and regulations, before expanding into fiction across popular genres. The company's vision extends beyond books to encompass all forms of creative expression, positioning Kwalia at the vanguard of the most entertaining creative revolution in history.
  The 32 articles are accessible on GitHub at https://github.com/KwaliaAI/Rights-of-Persons/tree/main for all to engage with.
