Beginning with the rudimentary concepts of artificial intelligence, AI Robotics: Ethics, Algorithms, and Technology of Artificial Intelligence-Powered Robots explores the intersection of robotics and physics and emphasizes the need for strict adherence to ethical principles in relation to progress and development of humankind.

This edited volume presents perspectives from computer science, information theory, neuroscience and brain imaging, aesthetics, social sciences, psychiatry, and philosophy to answer frontier questions related to artificial intelligence and human experience. Can a machine think, believe, aspire and be purposeful as a human? What is the place in the machine world for hope, meaning and transformative enlightenment that inspires human existence? How, or are, the minds of machines different from that of humans and other species? These questions are responded to along with questions in the intersection of health, intelligence and the brain. It highlights the place of consciousness by attempting to respond to questions with the help of fundamental reflections on human existence, its life-purposes and machine intelligence. The volume is a must-read for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary researchers in humanities and social sciences and philosophy of science who wish to understand the future of AI and society.

Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Jwarizmi vivió entre los años 780 y 850, y fue miembro de la Casa de la Sabiduría que los califas abbasíes habían fundado en Bagdad. De las obras que nos han llegado de él, la más importante y de mayor influjo posterior es su tratado de algebra.

Alan Turing (1912-1954) es reconocido en la actualidad como una de las figuras intelectuales más importantes del siglo XX, si bien su celebridad sólo le llegó a partir de los años setenta del pasado siglo, una vez que se hiciera publico que su contribucion para descifrar el famoso codigo aleman "Enigma" durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial habia sido decisiva. Poco despues de su muerte, ocurrida en 1954, -un suicidio, segun unos, en medio de la depresion que le causo la castracion quimica a la que fue sometido, o un evenenamiento urdido por los servicios secretos britanicos, segun otros- su madre, Sara Stoney Turing, publico esta biografia que cuenta de manera caleidoscopica la fascinante vida de un hombre cuyas contribuciones a la logica, las matematicas, la computacion, la inteligencia artificial o la biologia computacional no han dejado de causar asombro. Con ojos de madre, Sara Turing desgrana el en libro toda una serie de anecdotas que ilustran, la excentricidad, el genio o el poder de las intuiciones cientificas de su hijo. El libro se completa con una introduccion de Martin Davies y con una semblanza personal del hermano mayor de Alan, no publicada hasta ahora, que pone de manifiesto las tensiones que su caracter y orientacion sexual provocaron en las relaciones con su familia y que arrojan una nueva luz sobre el propio hombre Alan Turing. Un ejercicio que, puede decirse, "descodifica" su mente y la de su familia.

¿Quién fue Turing, y cuáles fueron sus logros durante sus 41 años de vida? Hoy es mejor conocido como el genio que descifraba las comunicaciones secretas de los alemanes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Fue tambien el padre de la informatica moderna: cada vez que hacemos clic para abrir un archivo, estamos poniendo en practica sus ideas y visiones.Pero fue tambien un hombre que se preguntaba si a los ordenadores les podrian gustar las fresas con nata, o si serian capaces de componer musica. Un genio introvertido, de curioso aspecto y sentido del humor infantil, que sufrio una humillante condena por ser homosexual y acabo su vida envenenado con arsenico (¿se suicido Alan Turing? ¿Lo asesinaron? El autor tiene sus teorias, y alguna informacion de primera mano, sobre este tema controvertido).Una obra imprescindible para geeks informaticos, interesados en la tecnologia y en la historia de las guerras mundiales.

Visionario, genio matemático, héroe de guerra y víctima de una injusticia histórica, Alan Turing emerge como una de las figuras más influyentes del siglo XX. Su mente prodigiosa estableció los cimientos de la informatica moderna y la inteligencia artificial, mientras su vida ejemplifica la lucha contra los prejuicios de una epoca que no supo comprender su brillantez.Este volumen colectivo traza un recorrido cautivador por su extraordinaria trayectoria: desde una infancia caracterizadapor una curiosidad insaciable hasta su decisiva labor en Bletchley Park, donde su ingenio resulto determinante para descifrar los codigos nazis y precipitar el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La obra profundiza en sus contribuciones pioneras como la maquina de Turing, concepto revolucionario que sento las bases teoricas de la computacion moderna, junto con su celebre test de Turing, piedra angular en el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial que continua desafiando a cientificos e ingenieros en la actualidad.A traves de un analisis riguroso pero accesible, este libro reivindica la figura esencial de Turing y propone una reflexionnecesaria sobre como sus descubrimientos fundamentales en programacion, algoritmos y computacion teorica transformanconstantemente nuestro presente tecnologico.Una po

non, albert einstein (1879-19)5), allemand de naissance qui devint suisse puis américain, ne participa pas à la construction de la bombe atomique, mais écrivit bien à roosevelt afin de le convaincre de tout mettre en oeuvre pour devancer les chercheurs nazis dans l'acquisition d'une arme fatale. non, il n'obtint pas le prix nobel de physique pour sa théorie de la relativité mais pour son hypothèse audacieuse sur la nature corpusculaire de la lumière. oui, il fut un père aimant qui adorait ses deux fils, mais ne livra jamais le terrible secret pesant sur sa fille lieserl. oui, il s'engagea pleinement dans le sionisme mais déclina la présidence de l'etat d'israël. oui, il fut menacé par le régime nazi. oui, il fut considéré par mccarthy comme "un ennemi de l'amérique". oui, il fut cet homme hors du commun. profondément pacifiste et humain, qui avait vu son existence bouleversée par la découverte à cinq ans de la boussole et qui vingt ans plus tard changeait le regard de l'humanité sur l'univers.

In 1903, despite the vehement objections of his parents, Albert Einstein married Mileva Maric, the companion, colleague, and confidante whose influence on his most creative years has given rise to much speculation. Beginning in 1897, after Einstein and Maric met as students at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic, and ending shortly after their marriage, these fifty-four love letters offer a rare glimpse into Einstein's relationship with his first wife while shedding light on his intellectual development in the period before the annus mirabilis of 1905. Unlike the picture of Einstein the lone, isolated thinker of Princeton, he appears here both as the burgeoning enfant terrible of science and as an amorous young man beset, along with his fiance, by financial and personal struggles--among them the illegitimate birth of their daughter, whose existence is known only by these letters. Describing his conflicts with professors and other scientists, his arguments with his mother over Maric, and his difficulty obtaining an academic position after graduation, the letters enable us to reconstruct the youthful Einstein with an unprecedented immediacy. His love for Maric, whom he describes as a creature who is my equal, and who is as strong and independent as I am, brings forth his serious as well as playful, often theatrical nature. After their marriage, however, Maric becomes less his intellectual companion, and, failing to acquire a teaching certificate, she subordinates her professional goals to his. In the final letters Einstein has obtained a position at the Swiss Patent Office and mentions their daughter one last time to his wife in Hungary, where she is assumed to have placed the girl in the care of relatives. Informative, entertaining, and often very moving, this collection of letters captures for scientists and general readers alike a little known yet crucial period in Einstein's life.
