A thought-provoking examination of artificial intelligence and how it reshapes human values, trust, and power around the world. Whether in medicine, money, or love, technologies powered by forms of artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly prominent role in our lives. As we cede more decisions to thinking machines, we face new questions about staying safe, keeping a job and having a say over the direction of our lives. The answers to those questions might depend on your race, gender, age, behavior, or nationality. New AI technologies can drive cars, treat damaged brains and nudge workers to be more productive, but they also can threaten, manipulate, and alienate us from others. They can pit nation against nation, but they also can help the global community tackle some of its greatest challenges—from food crises to global climate change. In clear and accessible prose, global trends and strategy adviser Olaf Groth, AI scientist and social entrepreneur Mark Nitzberg, along with seasoned economics reporter Dan Zehr, provide a unique human-focused, global view of humanity in a world of thinking machines.

Electrical Engineering/Communications/Information Theory "The Berlekamp article alone will make this book worth having." --David Forney, Vice President, Motorola Codex Reed-Solomon Codes and Their Applications Edited by Stephen B. Wicker, Georgia Institute of Technology and Vijay K. Bhargava, University of Victoria On the Voyager spacecraft, they were responsible for sending clear pictures of the planets back to earth. They have also played a key role in the digital audio revolution. They are Reed-Solomon error codes: the extremely powerful codes that provide critical error control for many different types of digital communications systems. This outstanding collection of thirteen original articles written by leading researchers in the field provides a uniquely comprehensive overview of the history and practical applications--some never before published--of these important codes. Key features include: * Thirteen original articles from leading researchers in the field, with a historical overview by Reed and Solomon * An explanation of how Reed-Solomon codes were used in the Voyager spacecraft and how they are currently used in the compact disc player * Specific applications for digital audio, data transfer over mobile radio, satellite communications, spread spectrum systems, and more * New techniques for improving the performance of your own communications systems This book will be of interest to design and research engineers in the telecommunications field, particularly those in the aerospace/satellite and mobile radio industries. It is also well-suited for use as an advanced-level textbook on the subject of error control coding. Books of Related Interest from IEEE Press Clauide Elwood Shannon: Collected Papers Edited by N. J.

Trish Adams never imagined her new job at Audlin Motors would alter her life trajectory so profoundly. It was there she met, fellow design engineer, Solomon Voss. He, quite incidentally, invents a technology that could potentially change the course of human history. An invention that gets the unwanted attention of corporations that stand to lose billions if Solomon's invention were to be revealed to the world. The unscrupulous oil giant - Glaxon - is the first of the corporations to put measures in place to steal Solomon's technology. To hide it away in a secret underground warehouse, where it will only gather dust, never to see the light of day. But is that enough? Trish teams up with Roberta Voss, Solomon's sister, as they are embroiled in a high stakes game of cat and mouse as attempts are made to erase the invention, and eventually the inventor, from existence.

It’s the mid-twenty-first century. The oceans are rising, the world’s population is growing, terrorist organizations are running rampant, and it has become readily apparent that humanity’s destructive nature is at the heart of the matter. When all faith in humanity seems lost, a startling proposal is announced: Solomon Chavez, the mysterious son of the world’s first trillionaire, announces that he, backed by a consortium of governments and wealthy donors, will build an interstellar starship—one that will convey a select group of six thousand individuals, all under the age of fifty, with no living relatives, to a recently discovered planet in the Epsilon Eridani star system. His goal is lofty: to build a colony that will ensure the survival of the human race. However, Solomon Chavez has a secret that he doesn’t dare share with the rest of the world. With the launch date rapidly approaching, great odds must be overcome so that the starship Solomon’s Arrow can fulfill what the human race has dreamed of for millennia: reaching for the stars. The goal is noble, but looming on the horizon are threats nobody could have imagined—ones that may spell the end of all human life and end the universe as we know it. Filled with action, suspense, and characters that will live on in the imagination, Solomon’s Arrow will leave readers breathless, while at the same time questioning what humanity’s true goals should be: reaching for the stars, or exploring the limits of the human mind?

SOLOMON J. WICKEY · Member of the Old Order Amish faith · Iridologist · Master Herbalist · Born with a God-given gift to heal · Falsely accused of practicing medicine without a license · Widely known throughout the USA and world · Breeds and raises registered Standardbred horses · Happy, fun loving, musician, carpenter, gardener, fisherman; devoted husband, father, brother, friend. Historically, when God decides to send mankind in a new direction, He sends a messenger, or sometimes an entire army to lead the way. Although for thousands of years messengers have been trying to show people the way to achieve perfect, optimal health, each has presented it in a different way, and since God will not be denied, we can expect legions of new messengers shouting with even stronger voices until they finally “get it.” Solomon J. Wickey was sent to deliver the most profound message of all; tap into God’s power to heal by sending a coded signal to the body via silent thought. Solomon has successfully demonstrated this method by restoring health where there was little, if any, hope, and improving the quality of life for tens of thousands. The mere possibility of achieving instant results without pain or debilitating side effects, is exciting for those willing to take charge of their own lives; their own health.
