Beschreibung

Urban Agriculture Growth explores how cities can enhance food security and environmental sustainability through innovative agricultural practices. As urbanization intensifies, the book examines technologies like rooftop farming, hydroponics, and vertical farming, which are transforming urban spaces into localized food production centers. These methods offer potential benefits such as reduced carbon footprints compared to conventional agriculture and increased community resilience by shortening supply chains.

 
The book takes a comprehensive approach, beginning with the historical context of urban farming and progressing through detailed analyses of current technologies, environmental impacts, and socioeconomic dimensions. Real-world case studies from cities like New York, Singapore and Amsterdam illustrate the practical applications of urban agriculture, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges.

 
It emphasizes the importance of integrating urban agriculture into urban planning and promoting environmental sustainability in the face of climate change. By combining scientific literature, case studies, and quantitative data, the book provides a balanced assessment of urban agriculture's potential. It addresses the scalability and economic viability, offering insights valuable to students, researchers, policymakers, and urban planners interested in creating more sustainable and resilient urban food systems.

Artificial General Intelligence...

Julian Togelius

Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. For example, your spellchecker can't do mathematics, and the world's best chess-playing program can’t play Tetris. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence, Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization. 
 
 
 
Togelius starts by giving examples of narrow AI that have superhuman performance in some way. He then discusses what it would mean to have general intelligence, by looking at definitions from psychology, ethology, and computer science. Next, he explores the two main families of technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence: foundation models through self-supervised learning, and open-ended learning in virtual environments. The final chapters of the book investigate potential artificial general intelligence beyond the strictly technical aspects. The questions discussed here investigate whether such general AI would be conscious, whether it would pose a risk to humanity, and how it might alter society.
