Behind the familiar surfaces of the telephone, radio, and television lies a sophisticated and intriguing body of knowledge known as information theory. This is the theory that has permitted the rapid development of all sorts of communication, from color television to the clear transmission of photographs from the vicinity of Jupiter. Even more revolutionary progress is expected in the future.

The dream of a universal translation device goes back many decades, long before Douglas Adams's fictional Babel fish provided this service in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Since the advent of computers, research has focused on the design of digital machine translation tools - computer programs capable of automatically translating a text from a source language to a target language. This has become one of the most fundamental tasks of artificial intelligence.

In this audiobook, you'll get a clear overview of artificial intelligence technology, the common misconceptions surrounding it, and a fascinating look at its applications in everything from self-driving cars and drones to its contributions in the medical field.

Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking reveals the craftier side of the hacker's repertoire - why hack into something when you could just ask for access? Undetectable by firewalls and antivirus software, social engineering relies on human fault to gain access to sensitive spaces; in this book, renowned expert Christopher Hadnagy explains the most commonly used techniques that fool even the most robust security personnel and reveals how these techniques have been used in the past.

An award-winning Financial Times columnist exposes the threat that Big Tech poses to our democracies, our economies and ourselves. Today Google and Facebook receive 90 percent of the world's news ad spending. Amazon takes half of all ecommerce in the US. Google and Apple operating systems run on all but 1 percent of cell phones globally. And 80 percent of corporate wealth is now held by 10 percent of companies - not the GEs and Toyotas of this world but the digital titans. How did we get here? How did the tech industry get to dominate our world so completely?

Neither a protest against AI, nor a speculative work on how AI could replace humans, Algorithms of Armageddon provides a time-critical understanding of why AI is being implemented through state weaponization, the realities for the global power balance, and more importantly, U.S. national security.

Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers.

In Fusion Strategy, world-renowned innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan and digital strategy expert Venkat Venkataraman offer a first-of-its-kind playbook that will help industrial companies combine what they do best-create physical products-with what digitals do best-use algorithms and AI to parse expansive, interconnected datasets-to make strategic connections that would otherwise be impossible.

Alan Turing was the mathematician whose cipher-cracking transformed the Second World War. Taken on by British Intelligence in 1938, as a shy young Cambridge don, he combined brilliant logic with a flair for engineering. In 1940 his machines were breaking the Enigma-enciphered messages of Nazi Germany's air force. He then headed the penetration of the super-secure U-boat communications.

This Is Not a Game is the extraordinary untold story of the internet’s first conspiracy theory, the legend of Ong’s Hat. Marc Fennell will dive deep into a previously unexplored world of tech hippies, eccentric web subcultures and simmering paranoia, uncovering how this tongue-in-cheek artistic experiment backfired on its creator and went on to influence much of what’s wrong with the internet today.

In this updated edition, the authors show you how zero trust lets you focus on building strong authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout, while providing compartmentalized access and better operational agility. You'll learn the architecture of a zero trust network, including how to build one using currently available technology.

Beginning in 2018, a powerful app for secure communications, called Anom, began to take root among drug dealers and other criminals. It had extraordinary safeguards to keep out prying eyes--the power to quickly wipe data, voice-masking technology, and more. It was better than other apps popular among organized crime syndicates, except for one thing: it was secretly run by law enforcement. Over the next few years, the FBI, along with law enforcement partners in Australia and parts of Europe, got a front row seat to the global criminal underworld.

■空気のようなインターネット 2016年に『さよならインターネット　まもなく消えるその「輪郭」について』という本を中央公論新社から出しました。インターネット論というほどのものではないけれど、これまでのインターネットと、これからのインターネットについて真面目に語ったもので、最近だとドワンゴの川上量生（かわかみ・のぶお）さんが出した『鈴木さんにも分かるネットの未来』（岩波書店）と、方向性は似ています。 発端は、僕が知り合いの編集者に、うちの会社にいる二十歳のインターンの子の話を、なにげなくしたことでした。 そのインターンの子は、こんなことを言っていました。 「家入さんはよくインターネットが大好きって言ってますけど、僕にはよくわか らないんです。なんだか、例えばハサミを好きって言ってるみたいで……」(本文より) 家入一真　「家入学級」はこちらから→ http://yakan-hiko.com/ieiri.html

各地・各学校でのIT機器（主にタブレット）の導入について、筆者なりの「現場への導入はどうあるべきか」「どういう条件を大切にすべきか」という意見を述べてみたい。 ■管理はどうするのか 学校でIT機器を使うということは、児童・生徒だけでなく、教師も含め「不慣れな人の山の中で使う」ことである。まあ、すばらしくよくわかっている先生・生徒がいる場合もかなりの割合で想定できるのだが、そうした人々には依存しないように全体戦略を立てるのが望ましい。 そういう意味で考えると、「管理」は2つの観点で成り立っている。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html
