Power and Prediction - The...

Joshua Gans, Ajay Agrawal, Avi...

In their bestselling first book, Prediction Machines, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb explained the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now, in Power and Prediction, they go deeper, examining the most basic unit of analysis: the decision. The authors explain that the two key decision-making ingredients are prediction and judgment, and we perform both together in our minds, often without realizing it. The rise of AI is shifting prediction from humans to machines, relieving people from this cognitive load while increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions. 
 
 
 
This sets the stage for a flourishing of new decisions and has profound implications for system-level innovation. Redesigning systems of interdependent decisions takes time, but when these new systems emerge, they can be disruptive on a global scale. Decision-making confers power. In industry, power confers profits; in society, power confers control. This process will have winners and losers, and the authors show how businesses can leverage opportunities, as well as protect their positions. 
 
 
 
Filled with illuminating insights, rich examples, and practical advice, Power and Prediction is the must-listen guide for any business leader or policymaker on how to make the coming AI disruptions work for you rather than against you.

Cosmic Paradoxes - Dark Matter...

Dirk Fallon

The universe, vast and ever-expanding, has captivated human imagination for millennia. As our technology and understanding of space have advanced, we've discovered astonishing phenomena that challenge the very fabric of reality. Among the most perplexing aspects of this vast cosmos are the cosmic paradoxes, mysteries that defy conventional explanations and reveal the limits of our knowledge. One of the most profound paradoxes involves dark matter, an invisible substance that makes up the majority of the universe's mass yet remains undetectable by traditional means.
Cosmic paradoxes arise from the observation of phenomena that seem to contradict established scientific principles or challenge our understanding of the laws of physics. These paradoxes push the boundaries of human knowledge, sparking debate and investigation into the nature of the universe. Many of these paradoxes are linked to the enigmatic presence of dark matter and dark energy, two unseen forces that govern much of the universe's structure and behavior. While dark matter cannot be directly observed, its existence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. This invisible mass influences the way galaxies rotate and how they move through space, providing key insights into the structure of the cosmos.
Understanding cosmic paradoxes requires grappling with the fundamental nature of the universe. These paradoxes often emerge from the tension between theory and observation. For example, the distribution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe suggest that there is more mass present than what can be accounted for by visible matter alone. This discrepancy led scientists to propose the existence of dark matter, which has since become a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. However, the inability to detect dark matter directly leaves open the question of what it truly is and how it interacts with ordinary matter.
