Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

A day does not go by without a news article reporting some amazing breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI). Many philosophers futurists and AI researchers have conjectured that human-level AI will be developed in the next 20 to 200 years. If these predictions are correct it raises new and sinister issues related to our future in the age of intelligent machines. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach directly addresses these issues and consolidates research aimed at making sure that emerging superintelligence is beneficial to humanity. While specific predictions regarding the consequences of superintelligent AI vary from potential economic hardship to the complete extinction of humankind many researchers agree that the issue is of utmost importance and needs to be seriously addressed. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach discusses key topics such as: AI-Completeness theory and how it can be used to see if an artificial intelligent agent has attained human level intelligence Methods for safeguarding the invention of a superintelligent system that could theoretically be worth trillions of dollars Self-improving AI systems: definition types and limits The science of AI safety engineering including machine ethics and robot rights Solutions for ensuring safe and secure confinement of superintelligent systems The future of superintelligence and why long-term prospects for humanity to remain as the dominant species on Earth are not great Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach is designed to become a foundational text for the new science of AI safety engineering.

Drug Design A Conceptual Overview

Drug Design A Conceptual Overview

The newer research areas in pharmaceutical sciences particularly molecular modeling and simulations prompted a more efficient drug discovery process. Informatics integrated with pharmaceutical sciences (cheminformatics and bioinformatics) became an essential component of drug research. Drug informatics such as genomics and proteomics assists in the Rational Drug Design (RDD). This emerging discipline is known as “Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) which has profound application in RDD. The advanced and adequate practice in drug design informatics is essential for pharmacy graduates. Hence a companion for acquiring knowledge on these concepts is vital. The students of B. Pharmacy M. Pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Chemistry Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics) biotechnology biomedical engineering and other interdisciplinary fields may find this book as a reference guide. The salient features of this book are: • Systematic and simple approach • Emphasis on traditional and modern drug design strategies • Comprehensive coverage for the current advances in the drug design • Experimental section to ensure hands-on-experience Note: T& F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India Pakistan Nepal Bhutan Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. | Drug Design A Conceptual Overview

A Geology for Engineers

A Geology for Engineers

No engineering structure can be built on the ground or within it without the influence of geology being experienced by the engineer. Yet geology is an ancillary subject to students of engineering and it is therefore essential that their training is supported by a concise reliable and usable text on geology and its relationship to engineering. In this book all the fundamental aspects of geology are described and explained but within the limits thought suitable for engineers. It describes the structure of the earth and the operation of its internal processes together with the geological processes that shape the earth and produce its rocks and soils. It also details the commonly occurring types of rock and soil and many types of geological structure and geological maps. Care has been taken to focus on the relationship between geology and geomechanics so emphasis has been placed on the geological processes that bear directly upon the composition structure and mechanics of soil and rocks and on the movement of groundwater. The descriptions of geological processes and their products are used as the basis for explaining why it is important to investigate the ground and to show how the investigations may be conducted at ground level and underground. Specific instruction is provided on the relationship between geology and many common activities undertaken when engineering in rock and soil. | A Geology for Engineers
