Learning Azure DevOps
To help cloud professionals make the most of the Azure DevOps platform, "Learning Azure DevOps" is a practical book that walks them through the process step-by-step. This book goes over all the bases of DevOps, including how to automate crucial tasks, deploy infrastructure as code (IaC), and set up and manage CI/CD pipelines.At the outset, the chapters will teach readers how to create Azure DevOps projects and link their repositories to VCSes like GitHub. Any application's build, test, and deployment processes, including Spring Boot's, can be automated with Azure Pipelines by configuring Pipeline as Code using YAML. To make sure that professionals can manage scalable, cloud-native apps, we also cover advanced topics like containerizing apps with Docker and deploying them to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Using frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, and Postman, the book goes even further into automated testing to guarantee quality assurance and continuous testing. It teaches to automate backup and disaster recovery procedures for resilient operations and to use Flyway to perform schema migrations.Additionally, teams are guided to work efficiently together through Azure Boards, shared pipelines, and centralized infrastructure management, highlighting collaboration. Also covered is Azure DevOps Analytics, which readers can use to keep tabs on their projects and teams' performance using real-time dashboards.Key LearningsIntegrate with Git for version control and set up Azure DevOps projects.Develop YAML-based Pipeline as Code to streamline the process of automating builds, tests, and deployments.Dockerize your apps and then launch them on AKS.Utilize Azure Boards and Project Boards to manage and monitor work items, tasks, and user stories.Add Postman, JUnit, and Mockito to your continuous integration pipelines to automate your application testing.Integrate Flyway into your Azure Pipelines to automate database schema migrations and achieve continuous delivery.Facilitate cross-team and cross-project cooperation by establishing shared pipelines and resources.Use Azure DevOps Analytics and performance insights for project management and monitoring.Deploy backups and failover procedures automatically in Azure DevOps.Use Terraform in conjunction with Azure Pipelines to deploy cloud-based IaC.Table of ContentGetting Started with Azure DevOpsPipeline as Code with YAMLContinuous Integration with Azure PipelinesContinuous Delivery with Azure PipelinesManaging Dependencies with Azure ArtifactsTesting and Quality Assurance with Azure Test PlansInfrastructure Automation with Azure PipelinesCollaboration and Team Management in Azure DevOps

Artificial General Intelligence
How to make AI capable of general intelligence, and what such technology would mean for society. Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Although some very recent AI systems are generalists to a degree, most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. For example, your spellchecker can't do mathematics, and the world's best chess-playing program can't play Tetris. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence, Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization. Togelius starts by giving examples of narrow AI that have superhuman performance in some way. Interestingly, there have been AI systems that are superhuman in some sense for more than half a century. He then discusses what it would mean to have general intelligence, by looking at definitions from psychology, ethology, and computer science. Next, he explores the two main families of technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence: foundation models through self-supervised learning, and open-ended learning in virtual environments. The final chapters of the book investigate potential artificial general intelligence beyond the strictly technical aspects. The questions discussed here investigate whether such general AI would be conscious, whether it would pose a risk to humanity, and how it might alter society.
Creaitivity
In summer 2023, two innovation and technology experts moved into a Cambridge apartment with an AI called Isaac for a unique experiment. They wanted to know what life will really be like when we are all living and working with AI.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Smart Cities
Thanks to rapid technological developments in terms of Computational Intelligence, smart tools have been playing active roles in daily life. It is clear that the 21st century has brought about many advantages in using high-level computation and communication solutions to deal with real-world problems; however, more technologies bring more changes to society. In this sense, the concept of smart cities has been a widely discussed topic in terms of society and Artificial Intelligence-oriented research efforts. The rise of smart cities is a transformation of both community and technology use habits, and there are many different research orientations to shape a better future.The objective of this book is to focus on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in smart city development. As recently designed, advanced smart systems require intense use of complex computational solutions (i.e., Deep Learning, Big Data, IoT architectures), the mechanisms of these systems become 'black-box' to users. As this means that there is no clear clue about what is going on within these systems, anxieties regarding ensuring trustworthy tools also rise. In recent years, attempts have been made to solve this issue with the additional use of XAI methods to improve transparency levels. This book provides a timely, global reference source about cutting-edge research efforts to ensure the XAI factor in smart city-oriented developments. The book includes both positive and negative outcomes, as well as future insights and the societal and technical aspects of XAI-based smart city research efforts. This book contains nineteen contributions beginning with a presentation of the background of XAI techniques and sustainable smart-city applications. It then continues with chapters discussing XAI for Smart Healthcare, Smart Education, Smart Transportation, Smart Environment, Smart Urbanization and Governance, and Cyber Security for Smart Cities.
