Social Machines Pdf Book Description:

Will your next physician be a human beinga system? Can you’ve got a decision? If you do, then what do you need to know before making it? This publication introduces the reader into the pitfalls and promises of artificial intelligence (AI) in its contemporary incarnation and the developing tendency of methods to”reach the Internet” to the actual world. The convergence of both AI, social media, and contemporary computing is producing an early inflection point from the partnership between human beings and machines with possibly profound influences on the long run not just of calculating but of our species and world.

AI specialists and investigators James Hendler–co-originator of the Semantic Web (Internet 3.0)–and Alice Mulvehill–programmer of AI-based operational systems for DARPA, the Air Force, and NASA–research the social implications of AI approaches in the context of a detailed assessment of the technology which make them potential. The authors critically assess the utopian claims and dystopian counterclaims of all AI prognosticators.
