Industriel brug af videnskabelig forskning og teknologisk innovation

Selvom det føles nyt, kan videnskaben om kunstig intelligens spores tilbage til 1956. I bogens første del gennemgår Strümke historien om kunstig intelligens – en historie fuld af mærkelige anekdoter og sjove historier.Udviklingen i de senere år betyder, at StrChatbotten ChatGPT er på kort tid blevet et populært redskab verden over. Teknologien har taget et kvantespring. Men hvad sker der, når brugen af kunstig intelligens sniger sig ind i alle aspekter af vores liv, privat og på jobbet? Hvilke muligheder og hvilke konsekvenser har det?I Maskiner der tænker forklarer Norges førende AI -forsker, hvordan kunstig intelligens fungerer, hvordan mennesker udvikler kunstig intelligens, og hvordan muligheder og potentielle farer opstår ved maskiner, som i tiltagende grad kan tænke selv.Bogen er en indføring i tidens måske mest omdiskuterede teknologi. Forfatteren forklarer de centrale begreber med det formål, at læserne skal forstå, hvordan kunstig intelligens fremover kan præge vores hverdag.Strümke og en række andre forskere mener, at vi denne gang faktisk står på tærsklen til et gennembrud. Der er tegn på, at maskiner bliver klogere end mennesker, og at de snart kan løse problemer, vi i dag ikke aner, hvordan vi skal løse.

I dette femte selvstændige bind i serien om Michael Sander og Lene Jensen, får læseren endnu en gang udfordret hver en lille hjernecelle, når gåden skal løses. Serien begyndte med bogen "Trofæ", og i "Ghostwriter" bliver dystre hemmeligheder udfoldet, da direktøren for et af de største medicinalfirmaer findes død i sin bil. Ikke langt fra direktøren ligger den mand, som var hyret som ghostwriter til at skrive direktørens biografi. Han er blevet skudt i hovedet. Politikommissæren, Lene Jensen, får sagen, og da hun falder over en ellers forsvundet dagbog, får hun samtidig en viden, som skal vise sig at være farlig at være i besiddelse af. Denne viden peger i retning af en hun elsker, nemlig hendes egen mand, privatdetektiven Michael Sander. Mørke hemmeligheder udfoldes og Lene Jensen må atter vise, at hun har stålvilje og ben i næsen.

From the New York Times-bestselling author, a new volume on the history of human ingenuity-and its attendant breakthroughs and busts.The world is never finished catching up with Vaclav Smil. In his latest and perhaps most readable book, Invention and Innovation, the prolific author-a favorite of Bill Gates-pens an insightful and fact-filled jaunt through the history of human invention. Impatient with the hype that so often accompanies innovation, Smil offers in this book a clear-eyed corrective to the overpromises that accompany everything from new cures for diseases to AI. He reminds us that even after we go quite far along the invention-development-application trajectory, we may never get anything real to deploy. Or worse, even after we have succeeded by introducing an invention, its future may be marked by underperformance, disappointment, demise, or outright harm.Drawing on his vast breadth of scientific and historical knowledge, Smil explains the difference between invention and innovation, and looks not only at inventions that failed to dominate as promised (such as the airship, nuclear fission, and supersonic flight), but also at those that turned disastrous (leaded gasoline, DDT, and chlorofluorocarbons). And finally, most importantly, he offers a "e;wish list"e; of inventions that we most urgently need to confront the staggering challenges of the twenty-first century.Filled with engaging examples and pragmatic approaches, this book is a sobering account of the folly that so often attends human ingenuity-and how we can, and must, better align our expectations with reality.

Reclaiming Technology: A poetic-scientific vocabulary aims to evoke ways of thinking about, and intervening in, technology worlds through a series of blended writing styles.Consisting of thirty-five short essays, contributors were asked to problematize some aspect of their research with technology – broadly conceived as artifact, process, craft, infrastructure, or concept – without being constrained by the more traditional repertoires of academic publishing. The result is a set of critical and experimental texts whose vocabulary speaks to the poetic, affective, and mundane modes through which technology can inspire and make anew.The ambition to reclaim stems from a collective desire to shift the grounds upon which exuberant technological claims making occurs. The book’s poetic-scientific approach is an effort at rendering technology otherwise so as to enable the emergence of alternate claims-making pathways towards more just and dignified socio-technical futures.The book should appeal to those who are curious about the technology-society nexus in more general terms. More particular audiences include anthropology and STS scholars, students (at all levels) interested in methods and writing, and practitioners looking for conceptual resources to think about technology differently.

A long tradition explains technological change as recombination. Within this tradition, this Element develops an innovative combinatorial model of technological change and tests it with 2,000 years of global GDP data and with data from US patents filed between 1835 and 2010. The model explains 1) the pace of technological change for a least the past two millennia, 2) patent citations and 3) the increasing complexity of tools over time. It shows that combining and modifying pre-existing goods to produce new goods generates the observed historical pattern of technological change. A long period of stasis was followed by sudden super-exponential growth in the number of goods. In this model, the sudden explosion of about 250 years ago is a combinatorial explosion that was a long time in coming, but inevitable once the process began at least two thousand years ago. This Element models the Industrial Revolution as a combinatorial explosion.

This book covers the latest development in the biotechnological application of extremophiles. Along with this the impact of climate change and environmental pollution on loss of diversity of extremophiles is also discussed. This is crucial as the loss of this diversity is related with the loss of many bioactive compounds and bacteria of ecological importance. This volume outlines applications of extremophiles in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and bioremediation.

Les sociétés occidentales contemporaines sont marquées du sceau du « jeunisme » et de l¿obsolescence rapide des innovations. Mais, à trop se focaliser sur la nouveauté, ne se prive-t-on pas de tirer des enseignements du passé ? Le passé n¿a-t-il, pour le dire autrement, aucune valeur pour penser notre présent et, plus encore, notre futur ? Quelles sont les ramifications qui permettent des innovations plus responsables en lien avec des besoins réels ? Ainsi est posée la question de la contribution de l¿histoire des techniques au développement de connaissances sur le processus d¿innovation. Quels sont les concepts clés et les principaux apports de l¿histoire des techniques à l¿innovation ? Comment l¿histoire des techniques peut-elle nous aider à imaginer le futur ?L¿enjeu de ce livre n¿est pas de retourner vers un passé. Il s¿agit d¿apprécier la portée heuristique de l¿histoire des techniques et des biographies d¿innovations pour imaginer des concepts innovants à même d'apporter des réponses inédites aux grands défis du monde contemporain. Les auteurs traitent des exemples issus de secteurs industriels variés. Invité à découvrir les innovations techniques de l'entreprise de Marc Seguin, le lecteur découvrira ainsi l'histoire du four micro-onde en France, en passant par celle du Shock Absorber de SEB ou plus près de nous du vaccin anti-covid de Sanofi.Ce livre s'adresse aux chercheurs de toutes disciplines, intéressés par la valorization de leurs travaux, aux ingénieurs de R&D qui lancent des projets innovants. Il se destine aussi à un public plus large intéressé par la naissance et la diffusion des innovations.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Why does scholarship on innovation fixate on certain classes of technology? Could our research tools and techniques be concealing as much as they reveal? Ryan T. MacNeil shows how the common instrumentalities of innovation research carry neoliberal market biases. He calls for critical scholars to examine how we observe and understand innovation, offering ways forward to deconstruct and reform disciplinary conventions. This book makes a valuable contribution to critical management and science and technology studies by shedding light on the 'dark matter' of innovation. This will be an important resource for scholars and practitioners interested in disruptive ideas about innovation.
