Pages : 672
Book Description
El futuro de la singularidad tecnológica ha llegado para quedarse. Las innumerables capacidades de la IA y de la robótica son evidencias incontestables, y cada vez son más intensas e innovadoras en la vida social, económica, y en donde sus notables aplicaciones a los distintos sectores nos manifiestan una realidad cada vez más alejada de lo que no hace mucho tiempo era pura “distopía”. Y sin embargo, hoy en día nos sitúan en un mundo en donde el hombre se dice (no exento de un tono autocomplaciente) será superado por la “máquina pensante”, superinteligente y plenamente autónoma, capaz de “pensar, sentir y decidir” por sí misma. Nada que ver con los autómatas del medioevo cuyo afán consistía simplemente en emular tareas repetitivas del ser humano. Hoy con la denominada Revolución 4.0 se camina en una dirección en donde la “creatividad computacional” nos situará en un futuro de incógnitas e incertidumbres, no sólo tecnológicas, sino éticas y jurídicas de primer orden. Así las cosas se piensa que los robots inteligentes (los nuevos esclavos digitales, como los viejos siervos o esclavos del Derecho romano) serán capaces de superar el razonamiento, conocimiento y conciencia humana. No sólo nos bastan estas desconcertantes reflexiones, sino que serán capaces de emular actividades propias del cerebro y desarrollar un pensamiento lógico, incluso superior al “racional”, y en donde no seremos capaces (como el clásico test o juego de la imitación de Alan Turing) de distinguir el hombre de la máquina… ¿utópico espejismo o revolución tecnológica cierta? Un paso de gigante de la vieja máquina de vapor a la máquina superinteligente, capaz de alcanzar un razonamiento propio (machine learning) y con sutiles ventajas competitivas. En este sofisticado estado de cosas hasta la UE (en resoluciones del Parlamento Europeo) se plantea de futuro otorgar personalidad electrónica a los robots inteligentes, capaz de generar decisiones autónomas cuando alcance “ese ansiado aprendizaje profundo” (deep learning) lo que nos sitúa en otro problema consistente en responder de los daños que pueda cometer por sus actuaciones individuales los “agentes autónomos” alejados de los dictados de supervisadas programaciones algorítmicas y por el contrario siendo capaces de tomar y adoptar sus decisiones propias por la interconectividad con el entorno.

Human-Centered Data Science
Author: Cecilia Aragon
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262367599
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Best practices for addressing the bias and inequality that may result from the automated collection, analysis, and distribution of large datasets. Human-centered data science is a new interdisciplinary field that draws from human-computer interaction, social science, statistics, and computational techniques. This book, written by founders of the field, introduces best practices for addressing the bias and inequality that may result from the automated collection, analysis, and distribution of very large datasets. It offers a brief and accessible overview of many common statistical and algorithmic data science techniques, explains human-centered approaches to data science problems, and presents practical guidelines and real-world case studies to help readers apply these methods. The authors explain how data scientists’ choices are involved at every stage of the data science workflow—and show how a human-centered approach can enhance each one, by making the process more transparent, asking questions, and considering the social context of the data. They describe how tools from social science might be incorporated into data science practices, discuss different types of collaboration, and consider data storytelling through visualization. The book shows that data science practitioners can build rigorous and ethical algorithms and design projects that use cutting-edge computational tools and address social concerns.

National cyber security : framework manual
Author: Alexander Klimburg
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789949921133
Category : Computer crimes
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
"What, exactly, is 'National Cyber Security'? The rise of cyberspace as a field of human endeavour is probably nothing less than one of the most significant developments in world history. Cyberspace already directly impacts every facet of human existence including economic, social, cultural and political developments, and the rate of change is not likely to stop anytime soon. However, the socio-political answers to the questions posed by the rise of cyberspace often significantly lag behind the rate of technological change. One of the fields most challenged by this development is that of 'national security'. The National Cyber Security Framework Manual provides detailed background information and in-depth theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the various facets of National Cyber Security, according to different levels of public policy formulation. The four levels of government--political, strategic, operational and tactical/technical--each have their own perspectives on National Cyber Security, and each is addressed in individual sections within the Manual. Additionally, the Manual gives examples of relevant institutions in National Cyber Security, from top-level policy coordination bodies down to cyber crisis management structures and similar institutions."--Page 4 of cover.

Cultures of Copyright
Author: Dànielle Nicole DeVoss
Publisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN: 9781433125614
Category : Copyright
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The symbols, signs, and traces of copyright and related intellectual property laws that appear on everyday texts, objects, and artifacts have multiplied exponentially over the past 15 years. Digital spaces have revolutionized access to content and transformed the ways in which content is porous and malleable. In this volume, contributors focus on copyright as it relates to culture. The editors argue that what «counts» as property must be understood as shifting terrain deeply influenced by historical, economic, cultural, religious, and digital perspectives. Key themes addressed include issues of how: - Culture is framed, defined, and/or identified in conversations about intellectual property; - The humanities and other related disciplines are implicated in intellectual property issues; - The humanities will continue to rub up against copyright (e.g., issues of authorship, authorial agency, ownership of texts); - Different cultures and bodies of literature approach intellectual property, and how competing dynasties and marginalized voices exist beyond the dominant U.S. copyright paradigm. Offering a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective, Cultures of Copyright offers readers - scholars, researchers, practitioners, theorists, and others - key considerations to contemplate in terms of how we understand copyright's past and how we chart its futures.
