Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence starts by helping you understand AI, especially what AI needs to work and why it has failed in the past.You also discover the basis for some of the issues with AI today and how those issues might prove to be nearly impossible to solve in some cases.Of course, along with the issues, you also dis-cover the fixes for some problems and consider where scientists are taking AI in search of answers. For a technology to survive, it must have a group of solid applications that actually work.It also must provide a payback to investors with the foresight to invest in the technology.In the past, AI failed to achieve critical success because it lacked some of these features.AI also suffered from being ahead of its time: True AI needed to wait for the current hardware to actually succeed.Today, you can find AI used in various computer applications and to automate processes.It's also relied on heavily in the medical field and to help improve human interaction.AI is also related to data analysis, machine learning, and deep learning.AI has a truly bright future today because it has become an essential technology.This book also shows you the paths that AI is likely to follow in the future.The various trends discussed in this book are based on what people are actually trying to do now.The new technology hasn't succeeded yet, but because people are working on it, it does have a good chance of success at some point.

Why are intelligence agencies called intelligence services?
Intelligence agencies are called intelligence services because their primary function is to gather, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information. This information is used to support national security and decision-making processes. The term "intelligence" refers to the collection and analysis of information related to potential threats, security risks, and other relevant issues. Therefore, these agencies are referred to as intelligence services to emphasize their role in providing critical information to support the security and interests of a nation.

How does emotional intelligence relate to intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions, as well as understand and influence the emotions of others. It is often considered a separate form of intelligence from traditional cognitive intelligence, such as problem-solving and logical reasoning. However, emotional intelligence can complement and enhance cognitive intelligence by helping individuals navigate social interactions, manage stress, and make better decisions. In this way, emotional intelligence is a valuable aspect of overall intelligence that can contribute to success in both personal and professional settings.

What is more important: Intelligence or emotional intelligence?
Both intelligence and emotional intelligence are important in their own ways. Intelligence helps in problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making, while emotional intelligence helps in understanding and managing emotions, building relationships, and empathizing with others. Both types of intelligence are valuable and can complement each other to lead to overall success and well-being. Ultimately, a balance of both types of intelligence is ideal for navigating various aspects of life effectively.

Can one lose high intelligence or above-average intelligence?
Intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While it is possible for certain conditions or injuries to impact cognitive function, such as traumatic brain injury or neurodegenerative diseases, it is generally not common for someone to lose high intelligence or above-average intelligence. However, factors such as lack of mental stimulation, poor health, or substance abuse can potentially impact cognitive abilities over time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and engage in activities that stimulate the mind to preserve cognitive function.

Awkward Intelligence
An expert offers a guide to where we should use artificial intelligence—and where we should not. Before we know it, artificial intelligence (AI) will work its way into every corner of our lives, making decisions about, with, and for us.Is this a good thing? There’s a tendency to think that machines can be more “objective” than humans—can make better decisions about job applicants, for example, or risk assessments.In Awkward Intelligence, AI expert Katharina Zweig offers readers the inside story, explaining how many levers computer and data scientists must pull for AI’s supposedly objective decision making.She presents the good and the bad: AI is good at processing vast quantities of data that humans cannot—but it’s bad at making judgments about people. AI is accurate at sifting through billions of websites to offer up the best results for our search queries and it has beaten reigning champions in games of chess and Go.But, drawing on her own research, Zweig shows how inaccurate AI is, for example, at predicting whether someone with a previous conviction will become a repeat offender.It’s no better than simple guesswork, and yet it’s used to determine people’s futures. Zweig introduces readers to the basics of AI and presents a toolkit for designing AI systems.She explains algorithms, big data, and computer intelligence, and how they relate to one another.Finally, she explores the ethics of AI and how we can shape the process.With Awkward Intelligence. Zweig equips us to confront the biggest question concerning AI: where we should use it—and where we should not.

Is intelligence decreasing?
There is no definitive answer to whether intelligence is decreasing overall. Some studies suggest that average IQ scores have been increasing over time, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. However, other research indicates that certain cognitive abilities may be declining due to factors such as environmental pollution, lifestyle changes, and decreased physical activity. It is important to consider multiple factors and perspectives when evaluating trends in intelligence levels.
-
Is intelligence inherited?
Intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While some studies suggest that there is a genetic component to intelligence, it is not solely inherited. Environmental factors such as education, nutrition, and upbringing also play a significant role in shaping a person's intelligence. Therefore, while genetics may contribute to a person's potential for intelligence, it is not the sole determining factor.
-
Is intelligence contagious?
Intelligence is not contagious in the traditional sense of being able to spread from one person to another like a virus. However, being around intelligent and motivated individuals can inspire and motivate others to strive for greater intellectual achievements. Additionally, engaging in stimulating conversations and activities with intelligent individuals can help to expand one's own knowledge and cognitive abilities. Ultimately, while intelligence itself may not be contagious, the behaviors and attitudes of intelligent individuals can certainly have a positive influence on those around them.
