    How To Think About AI - A Guide...

    In recent years, there has been massive public and professional interest in Artificial Intelligence. But people are confused about what AI is, what it can and cannot do, what is yet to come, and whether AI is good or bad for humanity and civilization—whether it will provide solutions to mankind's major challenges or become our gravest existential threat. There is also confusion about how we should regulate AI and where we should draw moral boundaries on its use. 
     
     
     
    In How To Think About AI, Richard Susskind draws on his experience of working on AI since the early 1980s. For Susskind, balancing the benefits and threats of artificial intelligence is the defining challenge of our age. He explores the history of AI and possible scenarios for its future. His views on AI are not always conventional. He positions ChatGPT and generative AI as no more than the latest chapter in the ongoing story of AI and claims we are still at the foothills of developments. He argues that to think responsibly about the impact of AI requires us to look well beyond today's technologies, suggesting that not-yet-invented technologies will have far greater impact on us in the 2030s than the tools we have today. This leads Susskind to discuss the possibility of conscious machines, magnificent new AI-enabled virtual worlds, and the impact of AI on the evolution of biological humans.

    An ambitious account of the evolution and biology of insects. 
     
    Insects are the most successful group of animals ever to have lived. They comprise a million species and perhaps 10 quintillion individuals: one in every four animals on the planet is a beetle; one in every ten is a butterfly or moth. Much of life on earth depends on the activities of these busy, teeming arthropods, from pollination to the breaking down of waste matter. 
     
    In Alien Worlds, Steve Nicholls draws on a lifetime of writing about, photographing and filming the natural world to create an ambitious account of insect evolution and biology. Each chapter of Alien Worlds centres on one or more of the traits of insect life that have allowed them to hold dominion over the earth's terrestrial and freshwater environments for so long, from their staggering reproductive ability to their complex partnership with flowering plants, and from their remarkable level of care for their young to their sophisticated social lives. 
     
    Alien Worlds explores what insects are, and why there are so many of them; the impact on insects (the only flying invertebrates) of the possession of wings; and the extraordinary sensory world of insects.

    Axiology - The Study of Values...

    Axiology, the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of values, plays a crucial role in understanding human beliefs, decisions, and behaviors. This chapter introduces the concept of axiology, emphasizing its importance in ethics and how it influences not just personal conduct but also societal norms and expectations. At its core, axiology is concerned with two primary components: value theory and the study of ethics. These two areas work in tandem, guiding individuals in understanding what is good, right, or desirable, and shaping their actions accordingly. 
    The term "axiology" comes from the Greek words "axios," meaning value, and "logos," meaning study or discourse. Axiology thus represents the study of values in the most comprehensive sense, ranging from personal preferences to the collective ethical standards that govern entire societies. The study of values is fundamental to various fields such as ethics, psychology, politics, and education, providing a framework for determining what is valuable in different contexts. Values themselves can take many forms, including moral values, aesthetic values, social values, and economic values, each influencing behavior in unique ways. 
    Understanding values is essential because they serve as the foundation upon which we build our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. From an individual perspective, values guide the decisions we make daily—whether in choosing a career, deciding what is right or wrong, or determining what we prioritize in life.
