Book excerpt: How will AI change our world within twenty years? A pioneering technologist and acclaimed writer team up for a “dazzling” (The New York Times) look at the future that “brims with intriguing insights” (Financial Times). This edition includes a new foreword by Kai-Fu Lee. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Financial Times Long before the advent of ChatGPT, Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan understood the enormous potential of artificial intelligence to transform our daily lives. But even as the world wakes up to the power of AI, many of us still fail to grasp the big picture. Chatbots and large language models are only the beginning. In this “inspired collaboration” (The Wall Street Journal), Lee and Chen join forces to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten gripping, globe-spanning short stories and accompanying commentary, their book introduces readers to an array of eye-opening settings and characters grappling with the new abundance and potential harms of AI technologies like deep learning, mixed reality, robotics, artificial general intelligence, and autonomous weapons.
Book Synopsis Nepal in the Nineties by : Michael Hutt
Download or read book Nepal in the Nineties written by Michael Hutt and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historic events that took place in Nepal in the spring of 1990 have yet to be forgotton. A broad-based democracy movement succeeded in removing the 28-year-old Panchayat system after a campaign that lasted only six weeks. Five months later a new constitution was promulgated and, just over a year after the ending of the agitation, the Nepali Congress party secured a majority in the general election. This study contains eight essays by Western academics that reflect on the changes that occurred in the kingdom as the decade began and on the circumstances that produced these changes. As the events of 1990 pass into history, this book looks back in an attempt to understand them, and to draw lessons for the future of Nepal.

Download or read book Future written by Lawrence R. Samuel and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of our attitudes toward the possibilities of tomorrow:“A fascinating trek through American future visions from the 1920s to the present.” —Lori C. Walters, Ph.D., University of Central Florida The future is not a fixed idea but a highly variable one that reflects the values of those who are imagining it. By studying the ways that visionaries imagined the future—particularly that of America—in the past century, much can be learned about the cultural dynamics of the times. In this social history, Lawrence R. Samuel examines the future visions of intellectuals, artists, scientists, businesspeople, and others to tell a chronological story about the history of the future in the past century. He defines six separate eras of future narratives from 1920 to the present day, and argues that the milestones reached during these years—especially related to air and space travel, atomic and nuclear weapons, the women’s and civil rights movements, and the advent of biological and genetic engineering—sparked the possibilities of tomorrow in the public’s imagination, and helped make the twentieth century the first century to be significantly more about the future than the past. The idea of the future grew both in volume and importance as it rode the technological wave into the new millennium, and the author tracks the process by which most people, to some degree, have now become futurists as the need to anticipate tomorrow accelerates.
