Phillipson, Michelle H. RahejaLiverpoolLiverpool University Press2017Liverpool, England :Liverpool University Press,2017.©20171 online resource (vi, 310 pages) illustrations (black & white); digital, PDF file(s)1-78694-034-5 Includes bibliographical references.Indigenous arts, simultaneously attuned to local voices and global cultural flows, have often been the vanguard in communicating what is at stake in the interactions, contradictions, disjunctions, opportunities, exclusions, injustices and aspirations that globalization entails. Focusing specifically on embodied arts and activism, this interdisciplinary volume offers vital new perspectives on the power and precariousness of indigeneity as a politicized cultural force in our unevenly connected world. Twenty-three distinct voices speak to the growing visibility of indigenous peoples’ performance on a global scale over recent decades, drawing specific examples from the Americas, Australia, the Pacific, Scandinavia and South Africa. An ethical touchstone in some arenas and a thorny complication in others, indigeneity is now belatedly recognised as mattering in global debates about natural resources, heritage, governance, belonging and social justice, to name just some of the contentious issues that continue to stall the unfinished business of decolonization. To explore this critical terrain, the essays and images gathered here range in subject from independent film, musical production, endurance art and the performative turn in exhibition and repatriation practices to the appropriation of hip-hop, karaoke and reality TV. Collectively, they urge a fresh look at mechanisms of postcolonial entanglement in the early 21st century as well as the particular rights and insights afforded by indigeneity in that process.Indigenous peoplesSocial life and customsIndigenous peoplesPolitics and governmentPerformance artPolitical aspectsglobalizationpostcolonial artscontemporaryactivismmodernpostcolonialglobaltrans-indigenousindigeneityindigenous artsperformanceIndigenous peoplesIndigenous peoplesSocial life and customs.Indigenous peoplesPolitics and government.Performance artPolitical aspects.892.409678H.

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
