What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology. But according to MIT's anti-disciplinarian César Hidalgo, understanding the nature of economic growth demands transcending the social sciences and including the natural sciences of information, networks, and complexity. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order.

Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use. Not, that is, until the spring of 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the new gene-editing tool CRISPR - a revolutionary new technology that she helped create - to make heritable changes in human embryos.

コロナ禍で浸透した授業や会議等をオンラインで済ませる新しい習慣は利便性が高い一方で、脳を「ダメ」にする危険性も指摘されている。その悪影響とは――

A panoramic overview of biotechnologies that can endlessly boost human capabilities and the drastic changes these "superhuman" traits could trigger. Biotechnology is moving fast. In the coming decades, advanced pharmaceuticals, bioelectronics, and genetic interventions will be used not only to heal the sick but to boost human physical and mental performance to unprecedented levels.

Ninteen ninety-four, Northern California. The Internet is just emerging from its origins in the military and university research labs. Groups of idealistic technologists, recognizing its potential as a tool for liberation and solidarity, are working feverishly to build the network. In the early chat rooms of one such gathering, soon-to-become-famous as The WELL, a Stanford futurist named Tom Mandel creates a new conference. In a topic headed "Local Bug Report", he asks for advice from fellow online participants about how he might shake off a persistent hacking cough.

ウイルス学者は、ウイルスを作り出すことができます。感染細胞から、ウイルスのタンパク質の設計図が書いてあるDNAをとってきて、それをプラスミドという大腸菌内の環状DNAに入れて増殖させるのです。

Palantir ist eines der geheimnisumwittertsten Unternehmen überhaupt. Das liegt vor allem daran, dass sich das weltweit erfolgreiche Unternehmen bislang nur selten zum eigenen Tun geäußert hat. Damit ist nun Schluss: In ihrem Buch stellen die Insider-Autor:innen – darunter auch der Gründer und CEO Alex Karp selbst – erstmals ihre Unternehmensphilosophie der "Augmented Intelligence" vor und teilen ihre Erkenntnisse über den Umgang mit künstlicher Intelligenz in einer zunehmend digitalen Welt.

Roboter haben doch keine Gefühle, oder? - Die weltweit renommierte Robotik-Expertin und Bestseller-Autorin Kenza Ait Si Abbou über die wachsende Bedeutung und den Einfluss von Künstlicher Intelligenz bei der Erkennung und Nutzung menschlicher Emotionen - ein ebenso aktuelles wie brisantes Sachbuch. Die Entwicklung Emotionaler Künstliche Intelligenz wird mit Milliarden gefördert: Maschinen sollen lernen, unsere Gefühle zu verstehen.

Casi de la noche a la mañana, los deportes electrónicos y los videojuegos competitivos se han convertido en el mayor fenómeno deportivo y de entretenimiento en la historia de la humanidad; un acontecimiento social y económico del que todos quieren formar parte: marcas, anunciantes, empresas y jugadores.¿Qué son los deportes electrónicos y cómo se hicieron tan populares tan rápidamente? ¿Por qué triunfan los videojuegos como Fornite, Call of Duty o League of Legends?

For a physicist, all the world is information. The universe and its workings are the ebb and flow of information. We are all transient patterns of information, passing on the recipe for our basic forms to future generations using a four-letter digital code called DNA. In this engaging and mind-stretching account, Vlatko Vedral considers some of the deepest questions about the universe and considers the implications of interpreting it in terms of information.

"Algorithme" : voilà un mot encore mal compris par la plus grande majorité d'entre nous. Mais pour la scientifique et entrepreneure Aurélie Jean, rien de plus simple, de plus lisible qu'une ligne de code : elle est la promesse de comprendre, par la virtualisation, la vie elle-même, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble des phénomènes physiques, économiques ou sociétaux - en un mot tout système. Écrire un algorithme, c'est dessiner un chemin de résolution pour un problème donné, un moyen précis et fiable d'accéder à la réponse recherchée.

Le document rare et l'incroyable parcours d'un inventeur français, qui à l'âge de neuf ans avait déjà construit un robot pour faire son lit et a ensuite été l'un des deux créateurs de Siri. Son objectif ici : tordre le cou aux idées reçues et aux fantasmes qui entourent l'IA aujourd'hui. Vous ne comprenez rien à l'intelligence artificielle (IA) ?

Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into a life of only 42 years the careers of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and biologist. He is widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated by his unappreciative country, and it has become hard to disentangle the real man from the story. It is easy to cast him as a misfit, the stereotypical professor.

Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.

第三次人工知能(AI)ブームの中核的役割を果たす深層学習(ディープ・ラーニング)は、その高い信頼性と汎用性ゆえに様々な領域に応用されていく一方で、

From the Siberian permafrost to balmy California, scientists across the globe are working to resurrect all kinds of extinct animals, from ones that just left us to those that have been gone for many thousands of years. Their tools in this hunt are both fossils and cutting-edge genetic technologies. Some of these scientists are driven by sheer curiosity; others view the lost species as a powerful weapon in the fight to preserve rapidly changing ecosystems. It seems certain that these animals will walk the earth again, but what world will that give us? And is any of this a good idea?

The first audiobook of its kind, Mind Wars covers the ethical dilemmas and bizarre history of cutting-edge technology and neuroscience developed for military applications. As the author discusses the innovative Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the role of the intelligence community and countless university science departments in preparing the military and intelligence services for the 21st century, he also charts the future of national security.
