商品描述

By 2027, it had been seven years since the scientists' sea-changing research on artificial psychology and robotics. The work debuted around the same time as Large Language Model Chatbots, and the power of the integration of the two technologies put many industries in a tailspin. The commercial and defense industries especially were still scrambling to regulate their use in research and universities. The sought-after scientists signed with DARPA to build reliable and secure AI entities, but the agency grew fearful of the technology's power and ultimately decided it was too dangerous to bring to market and demanded the scientists destroy the work. The researchers couldn't bring themselves to discard 20 years of research, so instead sent the entities to various research labs around the world. But unbeknownst to them, each AI-entity embraced its new home, growing, adapting, evolving, and ultimately connecting beyond what the researchers could envision.

In the end, as the scientists catch up to each one, they realize the entities have discovered a very human means of interacting: the power of physical contact; and not physical contact between humans and technology, but physical contact between robotic entities. And with this discovery, the entities join forces to only grow stronger. This development ushers in a new paradigm where the difference between AI-entities and human entities becomes less and less discernible.

All the AI and robotic science featured in the book is real; the story line is fictional, but with how fast innovation moves, it's not hard to envision.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

到2027年,科學家們對人工心理學和機器人技術的顛覆性研究已經過去七年。這項工作與大型語言模型聊天機器人的出現幾乎同時,兩種技術的整合力量使許多行業陷入混亂。商業和國防行業尤其仍在努力規範其在研究和大學中的使用。這些備受追捧的科學家與DARPA簽約,旨在建立可靠且安全的AI實體,但該機構對這項技術的力量感到恐懼,最終決定將其視為過於危險而不予上市,並要求科學家們銷毀這項工作。研究人員無法忍心丟棄20年的研究,因此選擇將這些實體送往世界各地的研究實驗室。然而,他們並不知道,每個AI實體都擁抱了它的新家,成長、適應、演變,最終連結超越了研究人員的想像。

最終,當科學家們追蹤到每一個實體時,他們意識到這些實體發現了一種非常人性化的互動方式:身體接觸的力量;而這並不是人類與技術之間的身體接觸,而是機器人實體之間的身體接觸。隨著這一發現,這些實體聯手變得更強大。這一發展開創了一個新範式,AI實體與人類實體之間的區別變得越來越不明顯。

書中所涉及的所有AI和機器人科學都是現實的;故事情節是虛構的,但隨著創新速度的加快,這並不難以想像。

作者簡介

Dr. Crowder's Bio: Dr. Jim Crowder is an Engineering Fellow at Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES) Advanced Technology & Engineering (AT&E), formerly Colorado Engineering, Inc. Dr. Crowder's career spans over 35 years of experience in engineering, 25 of which has been in artificial intelligence. Having fielded his first Neural Network system in 1993 and his first Fuzzy system in 1995, advanced computing and artificial intelligence has been his focus across Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Raytheon Technologies, and now a small engineering firm in Colorado Springs, Colorado Engineering Inc. Dr. Crowder holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering, 2 master's degrees (one in Electrical Engineering and one in Applied Math) and a BS in Electrical Engineering. He has designed and fielded multiple artificial intelligence systems for most of the Department of Defense agencies, including DARPA, Air Force Research Labs, the Navy, and the Army. He has published 6 books on Systems Engineering and Artificial Intelligence through Springer, which are currently used by Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M, and Baylor University. His latest textbook, published in January of this year, is on Requirements Management. Dr. Crowder has over 120 journal and conference publications and continues to be a leader in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Evolutionary Algorithms, Fuzzy Systems, Cognitive Architectures and Machine Learning. His ground-breaking work in Artificial Psychology (the Psychology of AI) has been downloaded and read over 28,000 times and continues to be a major download from ResearchGate with close to 100 downloads weekly. He just finished publishing a book, out in November, on "Chatbots: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.


Alan Crowder's Bio: Alan currently has a BS in IT technology and works for CAES APD (where his father works) as an IT professional. He has been exposed to advanced Artificial Intelligence information and architecturessince he was 10 due to his father, Dr. James Crowder's continued research and development of AI systems for the last 30 years. He has been instrumental in the development of themes and scenarios for this Sci Fi novel.


作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Dr. Crowder的簡介:Jim Crowder博士是Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES) 高級技術與工程 (AT&E) 的工程研究員,前身為Colorado Engineering, Inc. Crowder博士的職業生涯超過35年,其中25年專注於人工智慧。自1993年推出首個神經網絡系統及1995年推出首個模糊系統以來,先進計算和人工智慧一直是他在洛克希德·馬丁、諾斯羅普·格魯曼、雷神科技以及現在位於科羅拉多斯普林斯的小型工程公司Colorado Engineering Inc.的重點。Crowder博士擁有電機工程博士學位、兩個碩士學位(分別為電機工程和應用數學)以及電機工程學士學位。他為大多數國防部機構設計並部署了多個人工智慧系統,包括DARPA、空軍研究實驗室、海軍和陸軍。他通過Springer出版了6本有關系統工程和人工智慧的書籍,這些書籍目前被南方衛理公會大學、德州農工大學和貝勒大學使用。他最新的教科書於今年1月出版,主題為需求管理。Crowder博士擁有超過120篇期刊和會議出版物,並持續在人工智慧、進化演算法、模糊系統、認知架構和機器學習領域中擔任領導者。他在人工心理學(AI的心理學)方面的開創性工作已被下載和閱讀超過28,000次,並持續在ResearchGate上成為主要下載,每週接近100次下載。他剛完成一本書的出版,將於11月發行,主題為「聊天機器人:好、壞與醜」。

Alan Crowder的簡介:Alan目前擁有資訊科技技術學士學位,並在CAES APD(他父親工作的地方)擔任IT專業人員。由於他的父親James Crowder博士在過去30年持續進行人工智慧系統的研究與開發,Alan自10歲起便接觸到先進的人工智慧資訊和架構。他在這部科幻小說的主題和情節發展中發揮了重要作用。
