This book quickly gets down to the issues that many people grapple with when trying to use some of the more advanced features of the software and enlightens readers on the traps that some users fall into and how to avoid them. It demonstrates how the software ticks and explains some tricks that may be used to become more productive with the software.Suitable for people who understand the basics of P6 but want a short guide to give them insight into the less intuitive features of the software. It is packed with screen shots, constructive tips and is written in plain English. The book is based on the P6 Version 22 but may be used with earlier versions of P6 as this book points out the differences where appropriate.The book picks out many of the key aspects from the author's exiting books and adds a substantial amount of new and original text to produce a pocket guide that omits describing the intuitive and obvious functions and concentrates on the issues that many users get stuck on or find hard to understand.

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems—how we got here, where we’re headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world.In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.Sejnowski begins by describing the debates surrounding LLMs’ comprehension of language and exploring the notions of “thinking” and “intelligence.” He then takes a deep dive into the historical evolution of language models, focusing on the role of transformers, the correlation between computing power and model size, and the intricate mathematics shaping LLMs. Sejnowski also provides insight into the historical roots of LLMs and discusses the potential future of AI, focusing on next-generation LLMs inspired by nature and the importance of developing energy-efficient technologies.Grounded in Sejnowski’s dual expertise in AI and neuroscience, ChatGPT and the Future of AI is the definitive guide to understanding the intersection of AI and human intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of our lives. Smarter Planet or Wiser Earth analyzes the challenges and proposes systematic dialogical strategies to address them. Using the best of contemporary research on conflict resolution and peacemaking including Quaker, Gandhian, Indigenous, and other traditions, methods of collaborative reasoning and ethical choice are proposed, including specific ways to teach ethics and run our economy, politics, and technology. That includes redesigning the AI systems and practices that govern our world. We must shift to new forms of programming that draw on collaborative dialogue instead of relying solely on monological forms of linear algorithmic inference. It offers paths to spirit-led, collaborative wisdom and partnerships with researchers and activists creating solutions to existential threats from ecological collapse, climate change, wars of mutually assured destruction, and out of control technology.

The powers of the brain or mind are beyond our control. I had written about artificial intelligence many years back and what we are seeing through the Hubble and other space telescopes was written by me many years before.The risks associated with artificial intelligence and robotics are multifaceted and require comprehensive strategies for mitigation and management. Addressing ethical, societal, economic, and security concerns requires interdisciplinary collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and proactive policy interventions. By fostering responsible innovation and promoting ethical AI development, we can harness the transformative potential of AI and robotics while safeguarding against their adverse impacts on individuals, societies, and the global community.

The development of human capital is one of the key pillars of the Senegal Emergent Plan (PSE). As a lever for growth and a promoter of progress, rapid entrepreneurship was quickly integrated into the employment policy of the SALL government, supposedly to intensify the integration of young people. With so much material, this book conducts a study of profiles and preferences, accompanied by reflections, in order to analyze the means that Macky SALL's management has set in motion to extinguish the fires of distress of young people divided between despair, political entrepreneurship, clandestine emigration, vandalism and so on. Inspired by daring models, these reflections oppose the Bureau Opérationnel de Suivi (BOS) of the Plan Sénégal Émergent (PSE) with a Plan Suivi Évaluation (PSE), in the sense of unifying the dispersed support supports for young people in Training, Employment and Entrepreneurship, and opening up to private investment, via a digital innovation transversal to the target.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding field of decentralized finance (DF) and discusses how entrepreneurs can leverage it in their business activities.Decentralized finance (DF) is a system for exchanging value without centralized intermediaries. It relies heavily on peer-to-peer lending and borrowing, decentralized exchanges, trustless systems, and blockchain. Decentralized Finance is seen as a disruptive technology that could replace traditional financial systems in the future due to its advantages of being inclusive, non-discriminatory, resilient to risk management failures, cost-effective for lenders and borrowers to access the system and more efficient in terms of financial intermediation through automated trustless systems. This book explains the challenges and opportunities that these blockchain-based financial innovations present for both entrepreneurship and the broader financial system.

Das Geld wie wir es kennen gibt es bald nicht mehr. Der programmierbare E-Euro steht kurz vor der Einführung. Marc Kröger beschäftigt sich intensiv mit der Geldtheorie. Bald erkennt er, die Menschen werden betrogen und Krisen vertuscht. Deshalb gründet Marc die Bitcoin-Bewegung. Gleichzeitig erhält ausgerechnet die machthungrige Hedgefonds-Managerin Katharina Heinicke den offiziellen Auftrag, den programmierbaren E-Euro einzuführen. Schnell zeigt das digitale Geld seine dunkle Seite. In Verbindung mit einem Sozialkreditsystem entsteht eine radikale Diktatur mit grausamen Konsequenzen. Denunziation und soziale Unruhen greifen um sich. Als die Gruppe um Marc gegen den digitalen Euro vorgeht, gerät sie ins Visier der Mächtigen.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2024 im Fachbereich Informatik - Künstliche Intelligenz, Note: 1,3, Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart (Fakultät Vermessung, Informatik und Mathematik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit untersucht die Leistungsfähigkeit der "Stochastic Gradient Line Bayesian Optimization" (SGLBO) aus der Publikation von Tamiya und Yamasaki (2022), im Kontext der Parameteroptimierung für "Quantum Neural Networks" (QNN) und vergleicht diese mit der "Adaptive Moment Estimation" (Adam). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass beide Algorithmen in der Lage sind, QNNs zu trainieren. Dabei zeigt Adam vor allem Stärken in der rauschfreien Optimierung, während SGLBO signifikant bessere Ergebnisse in verrauschten Umgebungen erzielt. Damit konnten die Ergebnisse aus der Publikation von Tamiya und Yamasaki (2022) reproduziert werden.
