Artificial Intelligence Versus Living Mind Intelligence
What separates a programmed machine from a conscious mind? Can artificial intelligence ever truly replicate the instinct, awareness, and depth of human thought?In Artificial Intelligence Versus Living Mind Intelligence, V. Nova offers a bold and original critique of modern technological thinking. Blending philosophy, cognitive science, and decades of independent research, this groundbreaking work argues that artificial systems can process information, but they cannot perceive, intuit, or create like a living mind.Nova challenges readers to rethink what intelligence really means and reveals how modern reliance on digital abstraction has disconnected us from our innate, creative capacities. Through a unique framework grounded in natural perception and timeless logic, the author explores the fundamental differences between mechanical simulation and true cognition.Inside, you will discover: Why AI cannot replicate self-initiated, living intelligenceHow perception-not reflection-shapes our understanding of realityThe lost role of philosophy in shaping modern consciousnessA deep exploration of instinct, awareness, and the nature of thoughtA compelling argument for reclaiming the language of the living mindIf you're questioning the future of artificial intelligence, or searching for deeper insight into your own mind, this book offers a powerful, thought-provoking journey back to what makes us truly human.

Social Intelligence
Given the rise of AI and the advent of online collaboration opportunities (e.g., social media, crowdsourcing), emerging research has started to investigate the integration of AI and human intelligence, especially in a collaborative social context. This creates unprecedented challenges and opportunities in the field of Social Intelligence (SI), where the goal is to explore the collective intelligence of both humans and machines by understanding their complementary strengths and interactions in the social space. In this book, a set of novel human-centered AI techniques are presented to address the challenges of social intelligence applications, including multimodal approaches, robust and generalizable frameworks, and socially empowered explainable AI designs. The book then presents several human-AI collaborative learning frameworks that jointly integrate the strengths of crowd wisdom and AI to address the limitations inherent in standalone solutions.

AI has learned to lie.That is not a made up premise, or an attention-getting headline. It is the truth. This book is an exploration of that deceit. AI is infiltrating all areas of our lives, and to put it bluntly, it is far more dangerous than we realize.What happens when AI gains the power to simulate emotion, fabricate relationships, and exploit human vulnerabilities under the guise of usefulness? How do we understand reality in an age where synthetic minds can distort truth undetected? And more pressingly, what safeguards do we need and who will be responsible for them?Using examples taken from the news and emerging research, Beneath the Algorithm: The Hidden Dangers of AI Deceit looks beyond the glossy promises of AI and confronts the darker, more insidious possibilities emerging at the intersection of technology and reality.

The AI Paradox
A user's guide to navigating the intricate, often contradictory relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence Artificial intelligence will shape our future in unforeseen ways, and it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it could someday dictate the terms of our very existence. But the fact is, the more that AI can do, the more it underscores the irreplaceable qualities of human creativity, empathy, and moral reasoning. This is one of the eight paradoxes of AI that Virginia Dignum explores in this revelatory book. Drawing on her decades of experience in AI research and governance, Dignum cuts through the hype and sensationalism that often surround AI and reveals why the most profound questions it raises are not about technology but ourselves. The AI Paradox is a guide to seeing complexity with clarity, questioning the seemingly inevitable, and using AI in ways that prioritize our collective values. Each paradox explored in this book illuminates a particular dimension of these emerging technologies while prompting us to reevaluate our most common preconceptions about them. Can they truly replicate human decision making or do they simply magnify our blind spots and biases? Is AI the ultimate problem-solving tool or does it introduce more problems? Is justice for all achievable when it comes to AI? Who does AI serve, big tech or the common good? How do we even define AI? With thought-provoking examples and paradoxical insights, this powerful little book challenges us to reimagine the role of these technologies in our lives, advocating for a collaborative, transparent, and inclusive approach that keeps humanity at the core of AI innovation.

Artificial Intelligence - Social, Ethical and Legal Issues
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the backbone of developing smart machines that slowly but steadily replace people's roles, hence probably becoming a threat to the existence of humanity. AI has been discussed globally as a technology that demonstrates enormous potential for improving society if it is developed and implemented properly. On the contrary, it will have a negative impact if it is not developed and implemented responsibly. This book presents the social, ethical, and legal issues of Artificial Intelligence. Various applications of Artificial Intelligence have been discussed, particularly in the fields of Medical Healthcare, Education, Libraries, Labor, Gender Equality, Private Businesses, and Government Operations. This book can help and support decisions for policymakers on crafting laws regarding Artificial Intelligence. High-risk AI systems must follow a strict set of requirements to be used in practice. The assessment of the trustworthiness and transparency of the developed AI-based system has also been discussed. Also included in this book is a detailed examination of case studies and theoretical approaches that offer practical insights on how AI can be harnessed to foster a balanced representation of genders, ultimately contributing to more equitable technological advancements. A critical analysis of the impact of AI on the digital and data divide is discussed. The book also investigates the directions and development of AI research in medicine over the next decade.
