A new industrial revolution has begun. Like mechanization or electricity before it, artificial intelligence will touch every aspect of our lives—and cause profound disruptions in the balance of global power, especially among the AI superpowers: China, the United States, and Europe. Autonomous weapons expert Paul Scharre takes listeners inside the fierce competition to develop and implement this game-changing technology and dominate the future.

Rana el Kaliouby is a rarity in both the tech world and her native Middle East: a Muslim woman in charge in a field that is still overwhelmingly white and male. Growing up in Egypt and Kuwait, el Kaliouby was raised by a strict father who valued tradition - yet also had high expectations for his daughters - and a mother who was one of the first female computer programmers in the Middle East. Even before el Kaliouby broke ground as a scientist, she broke the rules of what it meant to be an obedient daughter and, later, an obedient wife to pursue her own daring dream.

In Fusion Strategy, world-renowned innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan and digital strategy expert Venkat Venkataraman offer a first-of-its-kind playbook that will help industrial companies combine what they do best-create physical products-with what digitals do best-use algorithms and AI to parse expansive, interconnected datasets-to make strategic connections that would otherwise be impossible.

In The AI Advantage, Thomas Davenport offers a guide to using artificial intelligence in business. He describes what technologies are available and how companies can use them for business benefits and competitive advantage. He cuts through the hype of the AI craze - remember when it seemed plausible that IBM's Watson could cure cancer? - to explain how businesses can put artificial intelligence to work now, in the real world.

Biochemical engineering integrates the principles of biology, chemistry, and engineering to develop processes for the large-scale production of valuable biochemicals. This interdisciplinary field plays a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, and environmental engineering. One of the fundamental aspects of biochemical engineering is fermentation, which involves the controlled growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi to produce desired compounds.

We are entering a new technological age in which artificial intelligence and immersive media will transform society at all levels, mediating our lives by altering what we see, hear, and experience. If managed well, this could unleash a new age of abundance. If managed poorly, this technological revolution could easily go astray, compromising our privacy, autonomy, agency, and humanity. Two industry veterans provide a data-driven debate on whether the new world we're creating will be a technological utopia or an AI-powered dystopia and give guidance on how to aim for the best future we can.

Data science has a huge impact on how companies conduct business, and those who don't learn about this revolutionary field could be left behind. You see, data science will help you make better decisions, know what products and services to release, and how to provide better service to your customers. In this guidebook, you will discover more about data science and how to get started in this field.

If artificial intelligence takes over decision-making what, then, is unique and irreplaceable about human intelligence? The Atomic Human is a journey of discovery to the core of what it is to be human, in search of the qualities that cannot be replaced by the machine. Neil Lawrence brings a timely, fresh perspective to this new era, recounting his personal journey to understand the riddle of intelligence. By contrasting our own intelligence with the capabilities of machine intelligence through history, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities, and limitations of AI systems.

Grokking Artificial Intelligence Algorithms is a fully illustrated and interactive tutorial guide to the different approaches and algorithms that underpin AI. Written in simple language and with lots of visual references and hands-on examples, you'll learn the concepts, terminology, and theory you need to effectively incorporate AI algorithms into your applications. And to make sure you truly grok as you go, you'll use each algorithm in practice with creative coding exercises.

Artificial intelligence is going to change the world as we know it. But the real danger isn't some robot that's going to enslave us: It's our own brain. Our brains are constantly making decisions using shortcuts, biases, and hidden processes—and we're using those same techniques to create technology that makes choices for us. In The Loop, award-winning science journalist Jacob Ward reveals how we are poised to build all of our worst instincts into our AIs, creating a narrow loop where each generation has fewer, predetermined, and even dangerous choices.

The window for wealth is wide open in the cutting edge world of artificial intelligence. The AI market is already valued at nearly $100 billion, and by 2030, it could add $15.7 trillion to the world economy. Safe to say there’s plenty of profit to go around.

Understand Generative AI and how it can revolutionize your life in just 14 days – even if you’ve never touched an AI tool beforeAre you fascinated by the potential of AI but feel overwhelmed by its complexity? Do you often wonder how Generative AI could personally or professionally impact you, yet hesitate to dive deeper, fearing it's too technical or inaccessible? Are you concerned about the ethical implications of AI and want to be sure you're using these technologies responsibly? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’re not alone.

Cloud computing has transformed the way we think about technology infrastructure and application deployment.
