0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New Delhi, Amaryllis, 2018.
Description 346pWhite spine
Summary/Abstract The smart machines revolution is re-shaping our lives and our societies. Here, Nigel Shadbolt (one of Britain's leading authorities on artificial intelligence) and Roger Hampson dispel terror, confusion, and misconception. We are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of super-intelligent robots of our own creation. We were using tools before we became Homo sapiens, and will continue to control them. How we exercise that control - in our private lives, in employment, in politics--and make the best of the wonderful opportunities, will determine our collective future well-being.

World is flat: The globalized world in the twenty-first century / Friedman, Thomas L. 2006  Book
Friedman, Thomas L. Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Penguin, 2006.
Description x, 660pOrange spine
Summary/Abstract The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a ‘flattening’ of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal – and competitor – of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever – but does this ‘death of distance’, which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer.
