Conclusions."In a refreshing departure from existing literature on corruption, Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile States takes a public administration perspective, studying the role of organisational factors in the success of organisational anti-corruption strategies. It is widely acknowledged that governance and anti-corruption interventions play a crucial role in reducing fragility and building legitimate and resilient institutions. Policy makers have re-framed development goals for fragile states to achieve stability by addressing their special characteristics: weak institutions and governance; low capacity and legitimacy in government; and vulnerability to violence. This book shows how anti-corruption and state-building policies are often disconnected or incoherent, and how executional challenges prevent strategies from translating into results." -- Back cover.CorruptionDeveloping countriesPreventionHumanitarian assistanceDeveloping countriesCorruptionPrevention.Humanitarian assistance363.259323091724Johnsøn Jesper1247340MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154922403321Anti-corruption strategies in fragile states2891677UNINA05122nam 2201429z- 450 991055711040332120210501(CKB)5400000000040943(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/69006(oapen)doab69006(EXLCZ)99540000000004094320202105d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAI AND THE SINGULARITYA FALLACY OR A GREAT OPPORTUNITY?Basel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20201 online resource (284 p.)3-03936-483-9 3-03936-484-7 "AI and the Technological Singularity: A Fallacy or a Great Opportunity" is a collection of essays that addresses the question of whether the technological singularity-the notion that AI-based computers can program the next generation of AI-based computers until a singularity is achieved, where an AI-based computer can exceed human intelligence-is a fallacy or a great opportunity. The group of scholars that address this question have a variety of positions on the singularity, ranging from advocates to skeptics. No conclusion can be reached, as the development of artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, and there is much wishful thinking and imagination in this issue rather than trustworthy data. The reader will find a cogent summary of the issues faced by researchers who are working to develop the field of artificial intelligence and, in particular, artificial general intelligence. The only conclusion that can be reached is that there exists a variety of well-argued positions as to where AI research is headed.AI AND THE SINGULARITYInformation technology industriesbicsscabductive reasoningAccelerated Changeaccess consciousnessanthropologyapopheniaArtificial (General) Intelligenceartificial general intelligenceArtificial General Intelligence (AGI)artificial intelligenceartificial intelligence (AI)Artificial Intelligence (AI)Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI)autogenous intelligenceautomated journalismbootstrap fallacycognitioncompetitioncomplexitycomplexity breakcomplexity fallacycomputercomputersconceptconsciousnesscooperationcosmic evolutioncyborgdeep neural networksembodied cognitionembodimentemotionevolutionexperiencefigure/groundfuture of newsfuturesfuturism and futurologyhard science fictionheterogeneityinformationinformation frictioninformation qualityintelligenceintelligent machinesintuitionlanguagelogiclovemachine evolution and optimizationmachine learningmachine replicationmeaningmedia ecologymetasystem transitionsmisinformationmodels of consciousnessnetworked mindsnon-axiomatic reasoning systempareidoliapatterningpatternsperceptphenomenal consciousnessphilosophyphilosophy of informationrecursive self-improvementresearch focused social networkrobo-journalismrobotsselfself-modifying softwareself-organizationset theorysingularitySingularityskepticismsocial sciencessuperintelligenceteam sportstechnical singularitytechnological singularitytechnological SingularityTechnological SingularityTuring testunderstandingvalue alignmentwisdomwriting algorithmsInformation technology industriesLogan Robert Kedt1299744Braga AdrianaedtLogan Robert KothBraga AdrianaothBOOK9910557110403321AI AND THE SINGULARITY3025250UNINA
