商品描述
This is the world of pervasive adaptation.
This Pervasive Day explores the potential -- and perils -- of daily living with pervasive adaptive computing. This is the result of saturating ourselves and our physical environment with sensors, cameras and devices, all connected to and inter-connected by global networks and computers, which can run increasingly intelligent machine-learning and data fusion algorithms on datasets that could be generated by the entire human population.
This book takes as its unifying theme Ira Levin's 1970 science fiction novel This Perfect Day to expose both potential innovations and controversial social issues. It explores the science and technology of pervasive adaptation through a human-centred and socio-technical perspective within the cultural, ethical and legal context of contemporary life. It discusses how pervasive adaptation could provide the foundations for a new range of life-enhancing and planet-saving applications in health, sustainability and assistive living. On the other hand, with the recording, storage and processing of every action, emotion and thought, there also arise the possibilities for unwarranted surveillance, invasions of privacy, loss of civil liberties and commercial exploitation.
This Pervasive Day is an insightful read for anyone concerned with the social impact of technology. Written by experienced technologists with a deep interest in computational intelligence, human-computer interaction and ambient systems, This Pervasive Day is a remarkable single source of reference -- a fusion of several technical disciplines that makes for a broad scope of investigation within the domains of pervasive computing.
Unifying, informative and thought-provoking, This Pervasive Day takes its place as a landmark title that will challenge the perceptions of the technologists and policy-makers, the pragmatists and the theorists, the doers and the thought-leaders.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
想像一個世界,在這個世界裡,你的衣物能夠感測你的血壓、心率和體溫。假設這些感測器不斷且不引人注意地將這些資訊傳送到「雲端」。假設雲端中的人工智慧檢測到異常。假設它告訴你的醫生:大家都鬆了一口氣。但接著假設它告訴了一位精算師,然後精算師告訴你的保險公司,保險公司再告訴你的雇主……
這就是普遍適應的世界。
《這個普遍的日子》探討了與普遍適應計算共同生活的潛力與危險。這是因為我們的身體和物理環境被感測器、攝影機和設備所充斥,所有這些都連接到全球網絡和計算機,這些計算機能夠在整個人類人口生成的數據集上運行越來越智能的機器學習和數據融合算法。
本書以艾拉·萊文(Ira Levin)1970年的科幻小說《這個完美的日子》為統一主題,揭示潛在的創新和有爭議的社會議題。它通過以人為中心的社會技術視角,探討普遍適應的科學和技術,並置於當代生活的文化、倫理和法律背景中。它討論了普遍適應如何為健康、可持續性和輔助生活提供一系列增進生活質量和拯救地球的應用的基礎。另一方面,隨著每一個行動、情感和思想的記錄、儲存和處理,也出現了不當監控、隱私侵犯、公民自由喪失和商業剝削的可能性。
《這個普遍的日子》是一本對任何關心技術社會影響的人來說都很有啟發性的讀物。這本書由對計算智能、人機互動和環境系統有深厚興趣的經驗豐富的技術專家撰寫,是一個卓越的參考來源——融合了幾個技術學科,為普遍計算領域的廣泛調查提供了基礎。
統一、資訊豐富且引人深思,《這個普遍的日子》作為一部具有里程碑意義的著作,將挑戰技術專家和政策制定者、務實主義者和理論家、實踐者和思想領袖的認知。
