The Shortcut Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us

The Shortcut Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us

An influential scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) explains its fundamental concepts and how it is changing culture and society. A particular form of AI is now embedded in our tech our infrastructure and our lives. How did it get there? Where and why should we be concerned? And what should we do now? The Shortcut: Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us provides an accessible yet probing exposure of AI in its prevalent form today proposing a new narrative to connect and make sense of events that have happened in the recent tumultuous past and enabling us to think soberly about the road ahead. This book is divided into ten carefully crafted and easily digestible chapters. Each chapter grapples with an important question for AI. Ranging from the scientific concepts that underpin the technology to wider implications for society it develops a unified description using tools from different disciplines and avoiding unnecessary abstractions or words that end with -ism. The book uses real examples wherever possible introducing the reader to the people who have created some of these technologies and to ideas shaping modern society that originate from the technical side of AI. It contains important practical advice about how we should approach AI in the future without promoting exaggerated hypes or fears. Entertaining and disturbing but always thoughtful The Shortcut confronts the hidden logic of AI while preserving a space for human dignity. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in AI the history of technology and the history of ideas. General readers will come away much more informed about how AI really works today and what we should do next. | The Shortcut Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us

Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care International Perspectives

Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care International Perspectives

This book provides practical information about depression and anxiety in primary care with a focus on the approach in different countries and incorporating global ranges/prevalence risk factors and health burden including that associated with COVID-19 and its pandemic. To ensure the challenges of a wide international primary care community are reflected fully authors from different world regions – Africa Asia Pacific East Mediterranean Europe IberoAmericana-CIMF North America and South Asia – have co-contributed to individual chapters on the detection and management of depression and anxiety in primary care in their own countries including the screening tools used how widely these tools are adopted and by whom and current policies. As well as the medical model it also presents the alternative viewpoint that feeling low or anxious is part of the human condition and the attention should be on supporting people in their journey through life struggling to deal with the mainly social challenges they meet rather than defining these problems as disorders or diseases requiring identification and treatment. Key Features: Explores the instruments used for the detection of depression and anxiety in primary care in various countries and why and how these instruments are being used Describes the pharmaceutical and non-drug interventions for treating depression and anxiety in primary care and compares the similarities and differences in detecting and managing depression and anxiety in primary care among different countries Includes in-depth regional examples of how screening tools are used in practice and how policies can be established in the management of depression and anxiety in primary care Concludes with lessons learned from various countries and from different stakeholders with clear advice on what to do and importantly what not to do Addressing primary care detection and management of mental health issues across the globe the book will be an invaluable practical aid for family medicine practitioners and the wider primary and community care teams and a useful reference for those involved in policy setting at regional and national levels including ministries of health. | Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care International Perspectives

The Waterside Ape An Alternative Account of Human Evolution

The Waterside Ape An Alternative Account of Human Evolution

Why are humans so fond of water? Why is our skin colour so variable? Why aren’t we hairy like our close ape relatives? A savannah scenario of human evolution has been widely accepted primarily due to fossil evidence; and fossils do not offer insight into these questions. Other alternative evolutionary scenarios might but these models have been rejected. This book explores a controversial idea – that human evolution was intimately associated with watery habitats as much or more than typical savannahs. Written from a medical point of view the author presents evidence supporting a credible alternative explanation for how humans diverged from our primate ancestors. Anatomical and physiological evidence offer insight into hairlessness different coloured skin subcutaneous fat large brains a marine-type kidney a unique heat regulation system and speech. This evidence suggests that humans may well have evolved not just as savannah mammals as is generally believed but with more affinity for aquatic habitats – rivers streams lakes and coasts. Key Features: Presents the evidence for a close association between riparian habitats and the origin of humans Reviews the savannah ape hypothesis for human origins Describes various anatomical adaptations that are associated with hypotheses of human evolution Explores characteristics from the head and neck such as skull and sinus structures the larynx and ear structures and functions | The Waterside Ape An Alternative Account of Human Evolution
