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.

Everyone in his life has always seemed to hate him. Chad has never known why, until the day he smashes a wall and breaks a friends jawbone. And then he knows. Descended from the race of the half-angel Nephilim, Chad has massive strength, quick reflexes, and other strange magic abilities. Once, his ancestors were kings, Templars, demigods; using their powers to wield cruel and absolute power over the world. The government keeps their descendants locked up on Attu Island, far off the coast of Alaska, to prevent any of them from resuming their reign of terror.But Chad doesn't want to be a monster, and he doesn't want to die on the island. Fighting against guards, fellow prisoners, and the very elements, Chad and his friends must find a way to escape the prison--and their dark heritage. But at the end of the world, can even an angel escape?

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.

The past few years have witnessed significant developments in algebraic coding theory. This book provides an advanced treatment of the subject from an engineering perspective, covering the basic principles and their application in communications and signal processing. Emphasis is on codes defined on the line, on the plane, and on curves, with the core ideas presented using commutative algebra and computational algebraic geometry made accessible using the Fourier transform. Starting with codes defined on a line, a background framework is established upon which the later chapters concerning codes on planes, and on curves, are developed. The decoding algorithms are developed using the standard engineering approach applied to those of Reed-Solomon codes, enabling them to be evaluated against practical applications. Integrating recent developments in the field into the classical treatment of algebraic coding, this is an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers in telecommunications and applied mathematics.

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.
