The novel tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human born on Mars and raised by Martians after the deaths of the crew of the first mission to the planet. When Michael is brought back to Earth as an adult, he struggles to understand human behavior and culture. With the help of characters like Gillian Boardman and Jubal Harshaw, Michael navigates human society, critiques its institutions, and eventually starts his own movement, the 'Church of All Worlds.' The novel explores themes of individual liberty, self-responsibility, and challenges to traditional social and religious norms. It is known for its complex characters, philosophical discussions, and its impact on the science fiction genre and the counterculture movement of the late 1960s[2][3][5].
In 'Genius Makers,' Cade Metz provides an inside story of how AI evolved from a fringe enthusiasm to a transformative technology. The book chronicles the lives of mavericks, eccentrics, and geniuses, particularly Geoffrey Hinton, who played a critical role in developing deep learning. Metz explains the technology in an accessible way, highlighting the industrial and academic rivalries, and the vast fortunes and intense conflicts that arose as AI became big business. The book also explores the future implications of AI on human society, including issues of privacy, security, bias, and prejudice.
In 'Hello World,' Hannah Fry explores the pervasive influence of algorithms in various aspects of modern life, including healthcare, justice, transportation, and more. The book discusses the strengths and weaknesses of algorithms, highlighting the need for a balanced approach where humans and algorithms work together. Fry argues for transparency, accountability, and regulation in the development and use of algorithms to ensure they serve human interests rather than controlling them. The book is divided into seven themed chapters and uses real-life examples to illustrate the complexities and potential of algorithmic systems.
In this book, Stuart Russell explores the concept of intelligence in humans and machines, outlining the near-term benefits and potential risks of AI. He discusses the misuse of AI, from lethal autonomous weapons to viral sabotage, and proposes a novel solution by rebuilding AI on a new foundation where machines are inherently uncertain about human preferences. This approach aims to create machines that are humble, altruistic, and committed to pursuing human objectives, ensuring they remain provably deferential and beneficial to humans.
