L'Intelligenza Artificiale: capire l'I.A. e le implicazioni dell'apprendimento automatico
by Smart Reads Stefano VazzolaElon Musk, Stephen Hawking e Bill Gates hanno affermato che l'Intelligenza Artificiale potrebbe costituire una minaccia in futuro a meno che gli umani non imparino a usarla saggiamente.

Potremo addirittura avere un'IA dall'aspetto umano che si candidi a presidente in futuro? Tutte queste domande e queste riflessioni vengono prese in esame in L'Intelligenza Artificiale: capire l'I.A. e le implicazioni dell'apprendimento automatico. È un libro studiato per offrire una panoramica concisa dei primordi delle macchine intelligenti, del nostro approccio moderno e del suo impatto sulla tecnologia del futuro e sull'esistenza umana.

BI and Big Data Management
by Philipp Strazny Ulrich HambuchCompanies increasingly recognize that the analysis of business information (business intelligence) can generate decisive competitive advantages. In addition, the compliance guidelines BCBS 239, Basel II and III, SOX, and Solvency II have led to legal requirements for a minimum level of quality in reporting and planning data and processes. The establishment of enterprise-wide data management thus continues to be one of the major challenges for IT and management in the years to come. Data quality is an integral success factor in the establishment of an optimal information infrastructure. A 2002 study from "The Data Warehousing Institutes" (TDWI) calculates that poor data quality in the US cost about $622 billion. Gartner market research stated in 2006: Poor data quality costs a typical organization 20% of revenue…. The worldwide financial and economic crisis after 2007 can retrospectively also be regarded as a data quality crisis. Despite far-reaching compliance requirements, many financial service companies have not been able to aggregate and prepare their risk data in a way to adequately control their risks, and they are still struggling in 2017. In the era of Big Data, data is viewed as the new oil and the available data volume worldwide multiplies every year. The requirements for transparency and data stream quality continue to increase, because these are considered essential for partially or completely new applications in decision support and other areas. But what use are larger data piles when quality and origin remain uncertain and when the costs for development and operation in data maintenance, integration, and analysis are proportional to the data volume? "Data quality is not everything, but without quality of data, it is all nothing." Metadata and metadata management are important aids for ensuring adequate data quality. The goal of this book is to take the current concepts and trends and tune th

#DELETED: Big Tech's Battle to Erase a Movement and Subvert Democracy
by Allum BokhariThe most powerful tech companies in the world are determined to stop Donald Trump.Journalist Allum Bokhari has spent four years investigating the tech giants that dominate the Internet: Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter. He has discovered a dark plot to seize control of the flow of information, and utilize that power to its full extent - to censor, manipulate, and ultimately sway the outcome of democratic elections. His network of whistleblowers inside Google, Facebook and other companies explain how the tech giants now see themselves as "good censors," benevolent commissars controlling the information we receive to "protect" us from "dangerous" speech.They reveal secret methods to covertly manipulate online information without us ever being aware of it, explaining how tech companies can use big data to target undecided voters. They lift the lid on a plot four years in the making - a plot to use the power of technology to stop Donald Trump's re-election.
Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People
by Steve KrakauerFrom the COVID lab leak theory to Hunter Biden's laptop to Jeffrey Epstein, media critic and former CNN producer Steve Krakauer spotlights the problems of a news industry filled with geographically isolated, introspection-free, egomaniacal journalists. In Uncovered, America&’s sharpest media critic, former CNN insider Steve Krakauer, reveals exactly what went wrong—and why the media went off the rails. The fourth estate is supposed to be a conduit to the people and a check on power. But instead, we have geographically isolated, introspection-free, cozy-with-power, egomaniacal journalists thirsty for elite approval. Krakauer dives deep into some of the most egregious examples of the elite censorship collusion racket, like how tech suppression and media fear led to the New York Post-Hunter Biden email debacle before the 2020 election. Krakauer takes readers inside CNN after the shock Trump election, inside the New York Times after the Tom Cotton op-ed backlash, inside ESPN after the shift away from sports-only coverage, and more. No one understands these problems (and people) better than Krakauer. He has spent years getting to know the most influential players in the industry and this fascinating book is what he&’s learned. But most importantly, Krakauer equips readers with the crucial tools to sniff out when the press is lying or misleading the people of America in the future—so together, we can bypass them altogether. "Steve Krakauer's new book, Uncovered, is vital reading. It's the best and most perceptive deep dive into legacy media bias out there, from someone who knows where all the bodies are buried." ― Ben Shapiro "One of the most insightful critiques that has been published on this topic in years." ― Glenn Greenwald
Broken News: Why the Media Rage Machine Divides America and How to Fight Back
by Chris Stirewalt"One of America&’s most experienced and exemplary journalists has written an unsparing analysis of the dreadful consequences -- for journalism and the nation -- of &‘how the news lost a race to the bottom with itself.&’&” -- George F. Will In this national bestseller, Chris Stirewalt, a former Fox News political editor, takes readers inside America&’s broken newsrooms that have succumbed to the temptation of &“rage revenue.&” One of America&’s sharpest political analysts, Stirewalt employs his trademark wit and insight to reveal how these media organizations slant coverage – and why that drives political division and rewards outrageous conduct. The New York Times wrote that Stirewalt&’s book "is an often candid reflection on the state of political journalism and his time at Fox News, where such post-mortem assessments are not common..." Broken News is a fascinating, deeply researched, conversation-provoking study of how the news is made and how it must be repaired. Stirewalt goes deep inside the history of the industry to explain how today&’s media divides America for profit. And he offers practical advice for how readers, listeners, and viewers can (and should) become better news consumers for the sake of the republic.

Reclaiming Personalized Learning: A Pedagogy for Restoring Equity and Humanity in Our Classrooms
by Paul Emerich FranceWhere exactly did personalized learning go so wrong? For teacher and consultant Paul France, at first technology-powered personalized learning seemed like a panacea. But after three years spent at a personalized learning start-up and network of microschools, he soon realized that such corporate-driven individualized learning initiatives do more harm than good, especially among our most vulnerable students. The far-superior alternative? A human-centered pedagogy that prioritizes children over technology. First, let’s be clear: Reclaiming Personalized Learning is not yet-another ed tech book. Instead it’s a user’s guide to restoring equity and humanity to our classrooms and schools through personalization. One part polemical, eleven parts practical, the book describes how to: Shape whole-class instruction, leverage small-group interactions, and nurture a student’s inner-dialogue Cultivate awareness within and among students, and build autonomy and authority Design curriculum with a flexible frame and where exactly the standards fit Humanize assessment and instruction, including the place of responsive teaching Create a sense of belonging, humanize technology integration, and effect socially just teaching and learning—all central issues in equity The truth is this: there’s no one framework, there’s no one tool that makes learning personalized–what personalized learning companies with a vested interest in profits might tempt you to believe. It’s people who personalize learning, and people not technology must be at the center of education. The time is now for all of us teachers to reclaim personalized learning, and this all-important book is our very best resource for getting started. “This is a compelling and critically important book for our time. With rich stories of teaching and learning Paul France considers ways to create the most positive learning experiences possible.” - JO BOALER, Nomellini & Olivier Professor of Education, Stanford Graduate School of Education “This brilliant book is a major contribution to the re-imagination of learning and teaching for the twenty-first century and should be essential reading for new and experienced teachers alike." - TONY WAGNER, Senior Research Fellow, Learning Policy Institute “In these troubled times, this book is more than a breath of fresh air, it is a call to action. Paul gives us an accessible and sophisticated book that explains how and why we should celebrate the humanity of every single student.” - JIM KNIGHT, Senior Partner of the Instructional Coaching Group (ICG) and Author of The Impact Cycle
