I disse år opstår der en lang række nye problemer og etiske dilemmaer i forbindelse med kunstig intelligens: Kommer robotterne til at tage vores arbejde? Bliver de klogere end os? Kan man stole på en selvkørende bil? Og hvem skal bestemme, hvem den skal slå ihjel, hvis et uheld er uundgåeligt? I Hvad skal vi med mennesker? diskuterer Peter Svarre på medrivende vis disse etiske dilemmaer og klæder læseren på til at forstå, hvordan kunstig intelligens overhovedet fungerer. Kunstig intelligens er nemlig ikke så kompliceret, som mange tror. Alle kan deltage i denne vigtige diskussion om vores fremtid!

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the central ideas that underpin deep learning. It is intended both for newcomers to machine learning and for those already experienced in the field. Covering key concepts relating to contemporary architectures and techniques, this essential book equips readers with a robust foundation for potential future specialization. The field of deep learning is undergoing rapid evolution, and therefore this book focusses on ideas that are likely to endure the test of time.The book is organized into numerous bite-sized chapters, each exploring a distinct topic, and the narrative follows a linear progression, with each chapter building upon content from its predecessors. This structure is well-suited to teaching a two-semester undergraduate or postgraduate machine learning course, while remaining equally relevant to those engaged in active research or in self-study.A full understanding of machine learning requires some mathematical background and so the book includes a self-contained introduction to probability theory. However, the focus of the book is on conveying a clear understanding of ideas, with emphasis on the real-world practical value of techniques rather than on abstract theory. Complex concepts are therefore presented from multiple complementary perspectives including textual descriptions, diagrams, mathematical formulae, and pseudo-code.Chris Bishop is a Technical Fellow at Microsoft and is the Director of Microsoft Research AI4Science. He is a Fellow of Darwin College Cambridge, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Hugh Bishop is an Applied Scientist at Wayve, a deep learning autonomous driving company in London, where he designs and trains deep neural networks. He completed his MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence at Cambridge University.¿Chris Bishop wrote a terrific textbook on neural networks in 1995 and has a deep knowledge of the field and its core ideas. His many years of experience in explaining neural networks have made him extremely skillful at presenting complicated ideas in the simplest possible way and it is a delight to see these skills applied to the revolutionary new developments in the field.¿ -- Geoffrey Hinton"With the recent explosion of deep learning and AI as a research topic, and the quickly growing importance of AI applications, a modern textbook on the topic was badly needed. The "New Bishop" masterfully fills the gap, covering algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning, modern deep learning architecture families, as well as how to apply all of this to various application areas." ¿ Yann LeCun¿This excellent and very educational book will bring the reader up to date with the main concepts and advances in deep learning with a solid anchoring in probability. These concepts are powering current industrial AI systems and are likely to form the basis of further advances towards artificial general intelligence.¿ -- Yoshua Bengio

Vi står midt i et opgør om fremtiden. I løbet af kun to årtier har den digitale revolution revet voldsomt op i den verden, vi kender. Nye teknologier, der skulle frisætte mennesker fra undertrykkelse og fattigdom, har forårsaget store sociale, politiske og økonomiske opbrud. For mens alverdens virksomheder og organisationer kaster sig frådende over Silicon Valleys opfindelser, siger en voksende modstandsbevægelse af politikere, eksperter og aktivister stop.Vores digitale verden er fuld af besværlige dilemmaer og frustrerende paradokser. Sociale medier har givet undertrykte borgere en stemme i demokratiet, men også spredt propaganda og trusler i et formentlig hidtil uset omfang. Smartphones har åbnet en ny verden af viden og kultur for folk, men bliver kritiseret for at gøre brugerne ulykkelige. Droner hjælper nødhjælpsorganisationer med at skabe fremgang i skrøbelige lande, men er samtidig kilde til drab på civile i Afghanistan. De nye teknologier rummer mange muligheder, men har også vist sig at kunne skade samfundet og almindelige mennesker.Vi ser på de fremskridt, som også er en forbandelse, fordi det hele går så stærkt, fordi udviklingen påvirker alle sider af vores liv, og fordi mennesker sjældent forstår virkningerne af det, de har fundet på, før problemerne melder sig. Bogen tager læseren i hånden, gør udviklingen konkret og klæder læseren på til at tage del i de diskussioner om tech, apps og data, som berører os alle.

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems—how we got here, where we’re headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world.In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.Sejnowski begins by describing the debates surrounding LLMs’ comprehension of language and exploring the notions of “thinking” and “intelligence.” He then takes a deep dive into the historical evolution of language models, focusing on the role of transformers, the correlation between computing power and model size, and the intricate mathematics shaping LLMs. Sejnowski also provides insight into the historical roots of LLMs and discusses the potential future of AI, focusing on next-generation LLMs inspired by nature and the importance of developing energy-efficient technologies.Grounded in Sejnowski’s dual expertise in AI and neuroscience, ChatGPT and the Future of AI is the definitive guide to understanding the intersection of AI and human intelligence.

This book presents extensive research on the quality of 360° video perceived by users with HMDs. The book aims to develop a set of standard guidelines for the systematic visual quality assessment of 360° videos. Firstly, conventional subjective test methods such as Absolute Category Rating (ACR) and Double Stimulus Impairment Scale (DSIS) are applied to evaluate video quality, alongside the Modified ACR (M-ACR) method newly proposed. Building on the reliability and general applicability of the procedure across different tests, a methodological framework for 360° video quality assessment is then presented. The author also analyzes simulator sickness to investigate the impact of different influencing factors. The insights gained on simulator sickness related to 360° video contribute to a better understanding of this particular use case of VR and can help to improve comfort among users by suggesting improvements in the technical specifications of 360° video and HMD technology and thusimproving QoE.
