AI for Beginners
Artificial Intelligence is all about humans asking computers and other machines to think and even behave like humans, and to take on jobs that people find too difficult or too boring. But how do you actually define the term? What exactly can machines with AI already do, and what might they be able to do in the futur? I For Beginners answers all the questions - where answers exist - and raises debating points at every turn about what it all means. Should we be asking machines to do creative tasks, such as writing and illustrating books? Do we need to worry if intelligent machines need to be treated like people? Is there a chance that machines might take over the world, either by accident or on purpose? Is there any point going to school and doing homework if computers can do it all for us, and bette? hapters in this book include:- What is artificial intelligence?- How far has AI come?- How will the world chang? ow does AI wor? I only exists thanks to computeres. Find out the basics about what computers are and how they work - before diving into the coding secrets that explain how people can teach computers... too teach themselves. AI in actionFind out how AI is being used in everything from searching the internet to solving crimes, looking after people and even waging war. Perhaps most interesting of all, AI tools have given computers the power to talk to people and even create art in ways that feel more and more human. Find out how these tools work, how smart they can be and their limits, too. How AI is changing our worldAs AI-powered machines take on more and more tasks, the way people live is changing. It's not just about what jobs people do - or don't do - anymore. It's about how we make friends and share ideas, and learn about the world. AI might even have the power to solve the climate crisis - or, perhaps, make it worse. Into the futureSome experts are trying to create machines that are just like people. But how similar to a human can a computer program actually be? How much closer might AI ever comt to being.. a 'living' thin? hat next?

For the next two decades, he worked to make this idea a reality. There was no stadium, pool, or running track anywhere in British Mandate Palestine. But Yosef wasn?t deterred.There was one big problem left: there was no easy way to tell athletes about the games!The solution: Motorcycles. Riding thousands of miles, over mountains and through deserts, motorcycle brigades announced the games to the world Jewish community. In 1932, the Maccabiah Games were born.
Neexistujú hlúpe otázky

Hlúpe, pochabé a zbytočné otázky neexistujú. Teda existujú, no len vtedy, ak slová v nich nedávajú zmysel. Niekedy sa bojíme, že ak položíme nesprávnu otázku, ostatní si pomyslia, že nevieme, o čom hovoríme. Keby sa však nikto na nič nepýtal, nikto by ani netušil, o čom ostatní hovoria. Preto sa pýtajte! A keď dostanete odpoveď, pýtajte sa ďalej. Ľudstvo dosiahlo najväčšie pokroky práve vďaka tomu, že kládlo otázky a usilovalo sa nájsť odpovede.
Táto vtipná kniha obsahuje celý rad tém od vedy, techniky, inžinierstva a matematiky až po evolúciu, zoológiu a históriu. Odpovedá na 213 najnezvyčajnejších a najzaujímavejších otázok. Môžete ju čítať od začiatku až do konca alebo ju môžete otvoriť na náhodnej strane. Ak hľadáte informácie o niečom konkrétnom, na konci nájdete zoznam otázok podľa oblastí.
Pre čitateľov od 8 rokov
