Industriel brug af videnskabelig forskning og teknologisk innovation

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. 

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.

Discovering the Universe: A Primer on Gravitational-Wave AstronomyOver the course of the universe's long history, researchers have persistently sought out new explanations for the phenomena they find puzzling. Recently, gravitational-wave astronomy has emerged as one of the most revolutionary fields in astrophysics. To probe the cosmos, gravitational-wave astronomy looks for ripples in spacetime rather than the electromagnetic waves used by conventional astronomical studies.In his 1915 General Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein foretold the possibility of gravitational waves, which are actually ripples in spacetime curvature brought about by the acceleration of large objects. But technology finally caught up with theory after nearly a century, and in 2015, gravitational waves were directly detected for the first time. By revealing cosmic events that had hitherto eluded conventional observational techniques, this great accomplishment ushered in a new age in astronomy.The Basics of Gravitational WavesLike ripples in a pond, gravitational waves are disruptions in the curvature of spacetime that travel at the speed of light. Merging black holes or neutron stars, which are large objects with enormous gravitational fields, accelerate and produce them. Gravitational waves are a kind of energy emission from moving or interacting celestial bodies. These waves carry information about the events that caused them to propagate.

The topic of nonlinear systems is fundamental to the study of systems engineering. So extensive investigations have been carried out by both the nonlinear control and nonlinear dynamics communities, but the focus can be different - on controllers design and dynamics analysis, respectively. The last two decades have witnessed the gradual merging of control theory and dynamics analysis, but not yet to the extent of controlling nonlinear dynamics such as bifurcations and chaos. This monograph is an attempt to fill that gap while presenting a rather comprehensive coverage of the fundamental nonlinear systems theory in a self-contained and approachable manner.This introductory treatise is written for self-study and, in particular, as an elementary textbook that can be taught in a one-semester course to advanced undergraduates or entrance level graduates with curricula focusing on nonlinear systems, both on control theory and dynamics analysis.

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.
