Su obra profundiza en lo que significa ser humano en un mundo cada vez más algorítmico, ofreciendo profundas reflexiones sobre la conciencia, la emoción y la inteligencia. El estilo distintivo de Christian entrelaza la profunda indagación filosófica con ejemplos concretos de la ciencia y la vida cotidiana. Su escritura desafía a los lectores a reflexionar sobre sus propias identidades y su relación con las tecnologías que dan forma a nuestra realidad.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly dominating every aspect of our modern lives influencing the news we consume. This book explains how, as it develops, we rapidly approach a collision between artificial intelligence and ethics. If we stand by, we face a future with unregulated algorithms that propagate our biases - and worse - violate our most sacred values
A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives. In this dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show us how the simple, precise algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. Modern life is constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? The authors explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of human memory, Algorithms To Live By is full of practical takeaways to help you solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind.
