This book is different to other literature in this field. This is so because the dominant accountability discourse is shaped by what is defined as a neoliberal business case for social and environmental reform. This book assumes a nirvana stance within globalisation where all citizens operate within the parameters of the free market and will recover from adverse economic and political damage. Further this book uses neoliberalism and free-market reforms aims as examples to implement efficient management technologies and create more competitive pressures. Central to the argument of the book are perspectives on authenticity, expressivism and interpretivism which are found to provide a radical reworking of our understanding of being in the world. These frameworks offer a starting point for rethinking the way individuals, businesses and communities ought to be dealing politically with accountability and ecological crises. The argument builds to an accountability perspective that utilises work from expressivism, interpretivism, classical liberalism and postmodern theory. The theoretical quest undertaken in this book is to develop connections between accountability, democratic, ethical and ecological perspectives. .Business ethicsAccountingIndustrial managementEnvironmental aspectsPolitical scienceGlobalizationBusiness EthicsAccountingCorporate Environmental ManagementPolitical TheoryGlobalizationBusiness ethics.Accounting.Industrial managementEnvironmental aspects.Political science.Globalization.Business Ethics.Accounting.Corporate Environmental Management.Political Theory.Globalization.657Lehman Glen1353530MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910645896003321Accountability and Transparency in the Modern Anthropocene3261007UNINA05122nam 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
