商品描述
Will your next doctor be a human being―or a machine? Will you have a choice? If you do, what should you know before making it?
This book introduces the reader to the pitfalls and promises of artificial intelligence (AI) in its modern incarnation and the growing trend of systems to "reach off the Web" into the real world. The convergence of AI, social networking, and modern computing is creating an historic inflection point in the partnership between human beings and machines with potentially profound impacts on the future not only of computing but of our world and species.
AI experts and researchers James Hendler―co-originator of the Semantic Web (Web 3.0)―and Alice Mulvehill―developer of AI-based operational systems for DARPA, the Air Force, and NASA―explore the social implications of AI systems in the context of a close examination of the technologies that make them possible. The authors critically evaluate the utopian claims and dystopian counterclaims of AI prognosticators.
Social Machines: The Coming Collision of Artificial Intelligence, Social Networking, and Humanity is your richly illustrated field guide to the future of your machine-mediated relationships with other human beings and with increasingly intelligent machines.
What Readers Will Learn
What the concept of a social machine is and how the activities of non-programmers are contributing to machine intelligence
How modern artificial intelligence technologies, such as Watson, are evolving and how they process knowledge from both carefully produced information (such as Wikipedia and journal articles) and from big data collections
The fundamentals of neuromorphic computing, knowledge graph search, and linked data, as well as the basic technology concepts that underlie networking applications such as Facebook and Twitter
How the change in attitudes towards cooperative work on the Web, especially in the younger demographic, is critical to the future of Web applications
Who This Book Is For
General readers and technically engaged developers, entrepreneurs, and technologists interested in the threats and promises of the accelerating convergence of artificial intelligence with social networks and mobile web technologies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
你的下一位醫生會是人類還是機器？你會有選擇的機會嗎？如果有的話，在做出選擇之前你應該知道些什麼呢？
這本書介紹了現代人工智慧（AI）及其與真實世界的日益融合的系統的陷阱和前景。AI、社交網絡和現代計算的融合正在創造一個歷史性的轉折點，對人類和機器之間的合作夥伴關係可能產生深遠的影響，不僅僅是對計算的未來，還有對我們的世界和物種的未來。
AI專家和研究人員James Hendler（語義網的共同創始人）和Alice Mulvehill（為DARPA、空軍和NASA開發基於AI的操作系統）在探討AI系統的社會影響時，同時對使其成為可能的技術進行了深入的研究。作者們對AI預測者的烏托邦主張和反烏托邦反駁進行了批判性評估。
《Social Machines: The Coming Collision of Artificial Intelligence, Social Networking, and Humanity》是一本豐富插圖的指南，介紹了機器介入人與人之間以及與越來越智能的機器之間關係的未來。
讀者將學到什麼：
- 什麼是社交機器的概念，以及非程式設計師的活動如何促進機器智能
- 現代人工智慧技術（如Watson）的演進，以及它們如何從精心製作的信息（如維基百科和期刊文章）和大數據集中處理知識
- 神經形態計算、知識圖搜索和關聯數據的基礎知識，以及支撐Facebook和Twitter等網絡應用的基本技術概念
- 對合作工作在網絡上的態度的改變，特別是在年輕人中，對Web應用的未來至關重要
適合閱讀對象：
- 一般讀者和對人工智慧與社交網絡和移動網絡技術的加速融合的威脅和前景感興趣的技術開發人員、企業家和技術人員。
