Discriminating Data - Correlation, Neighborhoods, and the New Politics of Recognition - Bok av Wendy Hui Kyong Chun - Inbunden

How Big Data and machine learning encode discrimination and create agitated clusters of comforting rage.In Discriminating Data, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun reveals how polarization is a goal-not an error-within Big Data and machine learning. These methods, she argues, encode segregation, eugenics, and identity politics through their default assumptions and conditions. Correlation, which grounds Big Data's predictive potential, stems from twentieth-century eugenic attempts to \breed\ a better future. Recommender..

The Artist in the Machine - Bok av Arthur I. Miller - Häftad

An authority on creativity introduces us to AI-powered computers that are creating art, literature, and music that may well surpass the creations of humans.Today''s computers are composing music that sounds “more Bach than Bach,” turning photographs into paintings in the style of Van Gogh''s Starry Night, and even writing screenplays. But are computers truly creative—or are they merely tools to be used by musicians, artists, and writers? In this book, Arthur I. Miller takes us on..

How Humans Judge Machines - Bok av Cesar A. Hidalgo - Inbunden

How people judge humans and machines differently, in scenarios involving natural disasters, labor displacement, policing, privacy, algorithmic bias, and more.How would you feel about losing your job to a machine? How about a tsunami alert system that fails? Would you react differently to acts of discrimination depending on whether they were carried out by a machine or by a human? What about public surveillance? How Humans Judge Machines compares people's reactions to actions performed by humans and..

Adjusted Margin - Xerography, Art, and Activism in the Late Twentieth Century - Bok av Kate (Assistant Professor of Culture and Media Studies Eichhorn

How xerography became a creative medium and political tool, arming artists and activists on the margins with an accessible means of making their messages public. This is the story of how the xerographic copier, or \Xerox machine,” became a creative medium for artists and activists during the last few decades of the twentieth century. Paper jams, mangled pages, and even fires made early versions of this clunky office machine a source of fear, rage, dread, and disappointment. But eventually, xerography..

Computational Formalism - Bok av Amanda Wasielewski - Häftad

How the use of machine learning to analyze art images has revived formalism in art history, presenting a golden opportunity for art historians and computer scientists to learn from one another.Though formalism is an essential tool for art historians, much recent art history has focused on the social and political aspects of art. But now art historians are adopting machine learning methods to develop new ways to analyze the purely visual in datasets of art images. Amanda Wasielewski uses the..

Digital Apollo - Human and Machine in Spaceflight - Bok av David A. (Director Mindell - Häftad

How human pilots and automated systems worked together to achieve the ultimate in flight—the lunar landings of NASA's Apollo program.As Apollo 11's Lunar Module descended toward the moon under automatic control, a program alarm in the guidance computer's software nearly caused a mission abort. Neil Armstrong responded by switching off the automatic mode and taking direct control. He stopped monitoring the computer and began flying the spacecraft, relying on skill to land it and earning praise for..

The Car That Knew Too Much - Can a Machine Be Moral? - Bok av Jean-Francois Bonnefon - Inbunden

The inside story of the groundbreaking experiment that captured what people think about the life-and-death dilemmas posed by driverless cars.Human drivers don''t find themselves facing such moral dilemmas as \should I sacrifice myself by driving off a cliff if that could save the life of a little girl on the road?\ Human brains aren''t fast enough to make that kind of calculation; the car is over the cliff in a nanosecond. A self-driving car, on the other hand, can compute fast enough to make such..

The Promise of Artificial Intelligence - Reckoning and Judgment - Bok av Brian Cantwell (University of Toronto) Smith - Inbunden

An argument that—despite dramatic advances in the field—artificial intelligence is nowhere near developing systems that are genuinely intelligent.In this provocative book, Brian Cantwell Smith argues that artificial intelligence is nowhere near developing systems that are genuinely intelligent. Second wave AI, machine learning, even visions of third-wave AI: none will lead to human-level intelligence and judgment, which have been honed over millennia. Recent advances in AI may be of epochal significance,..

Classification in the Wild - The Art and Science of Transparent Decision Making - Bok av Konstantinos Katsikopoulos - Inbunden

Rules for building formal models that use fast-and-frugal heuristics, extending the psychological study of classification to the real world of uncertainty.This book focuses on classification--allocating objects into categories--\in the wild,\ in real-world situations and far from the certainty of the lab. In the wild, unlike in typical psychological experiments, the future is not knowable and uncertainty cannot be meaningfully reduced to probability. Connecting the science of heuristics with machine..

Image Objects - An Archaeology of Computer Graphics - Bok av Jacob Gaboury - Inbunden

How computer graphics transformed the computer from a calculating machine into an interactive medium, as seen through the histories of five technical objects.Most of us think of computer graphics as a relatively recent invention, enabling the spectacular visual effects and lifelike simulations we see in current films, television shows, and digital games. In fact, computer graphics have been around as long as the modern computer itself, and played a fundamental role in the development of our contemporary..

Against Reduction - Designing a Human Future with Machines - Bok av Noelani Arista - Häftad

Provocative, hopeful essays imagine a future that is not reduced to algorithms.What is human flourishing in an age of machine intelligence, when many claim that the world’s most complex problems can be reduced to narrow technical questions? Does more computing make us more intelligent, or simply more computationally powerful? We need not always resist reduction; our ability to simplify helps us interpret complicated situations. The trick is to know when and how to do so. Against Reduction offers..

How to Grow a Robot - Developing Human-Friendly, Social AI - Bok av Mark H. Lee - Inbunden

How to develop robots that will be more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed.Most robots are not very friendly. They vacuum the rug, mow the lawn, dispose of bombs, even perform surgery—but they aren't good conversationalists. It's difficult to make eye contact. If the future promises more human-robot collaboration in both work and play, wouldn't it be better if the robots were less mechanical and more social? In How to Grow a..
