Pedro Domingos is a renowned AI researcher, tech industry insider, and Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. An expert in deep learning, neural networks, and AI ethics, Pedro's research work encompasses some of the most cutting edge concepts like the black box of deep networks, and Markov Logic Network. Pedro is the author of the best-selling book ‘The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World' (Basic Books, 2015), which has been translated into over twelve languages and sold over 300,000 copies.His latest book, ‘2040: A Silicon Valley Satire', published in August 2024, is a novel that imagines the 2040 presidential election, where the Republican candidate is an AI named PresiBot, and the Democratic candidate is a fake Native American chief seeking to abolish the United States. Pedro is the author/co-author of over 200 technical publications in machine learning, data science, and other areas. He's a member of the editorial board of the Machine Learning journal, co-founder of the International Machine Learning Society, and past associate editor of JAIR.To read more about Pedro Domingos, visit https://businessabc.net/wiki/pedro-do...The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World is a book by Pedro Domingos released in 2015.The book outlines five approaches of machine learning: inductive reasoning, Connectionism, evolutionary computation, Bayes' theorem, analogical modelling. Pedro explains these tribes to the reader by referring to more understandable processes of logic, connections made in the brain, natural selection, probability and similarity judgments. The book suggests that each different tribe has the potential to contribute to a unifying "master algorithm".Towards the end of the book the author pictures a "master algorithm" in the near future, where machine learning algorithms asymptotically grow to a perfect understanding of how the world and people in it work. Although the algorithm doesn't yet exist, he briefly reviews his own invention of the Markov logic network.In 2016 Bill Gates recommended the book, alongside Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence, as one of two books everyone should read to understand AI.2040: A Silicon Valley SatireIn a chaotic 2040 presidential race, an AI candidate named PresiBot is pitted against a Native American chief determined to dismantle the United States. The mastermind behind PresiBot is Ethan, the struggling CEO of KumbAI, a tech startup that created the AI as a last-ditch publicity stunt. However, with PresiBot prone to malfunctioning and spouting hallucinations, the nation's fate hangs by a thread.Set against a backdrop of a dystopian, tech-dominated San Francisco, 2040 is a fast-paced, satirical narrative that skewers the modern American landscape. From the overwhelming influence of Silicon Valley's tech giants to the fear-mongering surrounding AI and the increasingly bizarre political movements, the novel paints a sharp, witty critique of the near future. With razor-sharp dialogue and a plot that mirrors today's concerns, 2040 offers a darkly comedic reflection on where we might be headed.Support the show

Nick Bostrom is a Swedish-born philosopher with a background in theoretical physics, computational neuroscience, logic, and artificial intelligence, along with philosophy. He is known for his work on existential risk, the anthropic principle, human enhancement ethics, whole brain emulation, superintelligence risks, and the reversal test. Nick is a Professor at Oxford University, where he heads the Future of Humanity Institute as its Founding Director. He is also the author of more than 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (2008), Human Enhancement (2009), Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (2014), which became a New York Times bestseller and sparked a global conversation about the future of AI, and Deep Utopia, Life and Meaning in a Solved World, Ideapress, 2024.Nick's work has pioneered some of the ideas that frame current thinking about humanity's future: the simulation argument, the vulnerable world hypothesis, the unilateralist's curse, to name a few.To know more about Nick Bostrom, visit https://businessabc.net/wiki/nick-bostromDeep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved WorldIn his latest book, "Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World," Nick Bostrom shifts the focus from the potential dangers of artificial intelligence explored in his previous work, "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies," to envisioning a future where AI development unfolds positively. As the conversation around AI continues to evolve, Bostrom probes the profound philosophical and spiritual implications of a world where superintelligence is safely developed, effectively governed, and utilised for the benefit of humanity.In this hypothetical scenario of a "solved world," where human labour becomes obsolete due to advanced AI systems, Bostrom raises existential questions about the essence of human existence and the pursuit of meaning. With the advent of technologies capable of fulfilling practical needs and desires beyond human capabilities, society would enter a state of "post-instrumentality," where the traditional purposes of human endeavour are rendered obsolete.About citiesabc.comhttps://www.citiesabc.com/​​​​​​​​​​​ About businessabc.nethttps://www.businessabc.net/About fashionabc.orghttps://www.fashionabc.org/ About Dinis Guardahttps://www.dinisguarda.com/https://businessabc.net/wiki/dinis-guardaSupport the show
