      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

      The Everlasting Gospel of Christ is the summing up of Brian's journey and legacy. A love story from God's perspective, outside of time and space. Our earthly view of life will produce the illusion of lack, loss, and separation. Knowing our origin as spirit will enable our humanity to embrace every contradiction in life as affirmation. Everything you will read in this book has been tested through trial and error, loss and gain. This is a testimony of grace that has become an inheritance to many. Read it to encounter it. Look for yourself hidden in this book and you will experience grace and power to overcome many obstacles you are presently facing. It is a book for the mystic, the intellectual, the scientist and the philosopher. The Everlasting Gospel of Christ is about the journey of all humanity before time began. What motivated us to come to planet Earth, the reason we chose spiritual amnesia, and the unconditional love demonstrated through our weaknesses and failures.

      How do we prevent AI working against us? 'Vital reading. This is the book on artificial intelligence we need right now.' Mike Krieger, cofounder of Instagram Artificial intelligence is rapidly dominating every aspect of our modern lives influencing the news we consume, whether we get a mortgage, and even which friends wish us happy birthday. But as algorithms make ever more decisions on our behalf, how do we ensure they do what we want? And fairly? This conundrum - dubbed 'The Alignment Problem' by experts - is the subject of this timely and important book. From the AI program which cheats at computer games to the sexist algorithm behind Google Translate, bestselling author Brian Christian explains how, as AI 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. Urgent and fascinating, this is an accessible primer to the most important issue facing AI researchers today

      An exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have been grappling with similar problems for decades. And the solutions they’ve found have much to teach us. In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths show how algorithms developed for computers also untangle very human questions. They 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 peering into the future, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.
