  An authoritative guide to what is needed for AI governance and regulation from expert authors internationally involved in the practical world of AI. This book tackles the question of why AI is a distinct challenge from other technologies and how we should seek to implement innovation-friendly approaches to regulation. It sets out many of the risks to be considered, why regulation is needed, and the form this should take to promote international convergence on AI governance and the responsible deployment of AI.
  This is a highly readable prescription for AI governance and regulation designed to encourage the technological goals of humanity whilst ensuring that potential risks are mitigated or prevented and, most importantly, that AI remains our servant and does not become our master.

  Extreme Measures - The...

  Along with reproduction, balancing energy expenditure with the limits of resource acquisition is essential for both a species and a population to survive. But energy is a limited resource, as we know well, so birds and mammals—the most energy-intensive fauna on the planet—must reduce energy expenditures to maintain this balance, some taking small steps, and others extreme measures. Here Brian K. McNab draws on his over sixty years in the field to provide a comprehensive account of the energetics of birds and mammals, one fully integrated with their natural history. McNab begins with an overview of thermal rates—much of our own energy is spent maintaining our 98.6?F temperature—and explains how the basal rate of metabolism drives energy use, especially in extreme environments. He then explores those variables that interact with the basal rate of metabolism, like body size and scale and environments, highlighting their influence on behavior, distribution, and even reproductive output. Successive chapters take up energy and population dynamics and evolution. A critical central theme that runs through the book is how the energetic needs of birds and mammals come up against rapid environmental change and how this is hastening the pace of extinction.

  Is Anyone Listening? - What...

  If you could pose one question to a dolphin, what would it be? And what might a dolphin ask you? For forty years, researcher and author Denise L. Herzing has investigated these and related questions of marine mammal communication. But the dolphins are not the only ones talking, and in this wide-ranging and accessible book, Herzing explores the astonishing realities of interspecies communication, a skill that humans currently lack. 
   
   
    
  Is Anyone Listening? connects research on dolphin communication to findings from Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Dian Fossey on mountain gorillas, Cynthia Moss on African elephants, and others driving today's exploration of possible animal languages. As Herzing reveals, researchers are finding fascinating hints of language in nonhuman species, including linguistic structures, vowel equivalents, and complex repeated sequences. By looking at the many ways animals use and manipulate signals, we see that we've only just begun to appreciate the diversity of animal intelligence and the complicated and subtle aspects of animal communication. 
   
   
    
  Considering dolphins and other nonhuman animals as colleagues instead of research subjects, Herzing asks us to meet animals as both speakers and listeners, as mutually curious beings, and to listen to what they are saying.

  Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
  It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
  St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
  There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
  My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
  In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
  This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
