And What Can We Do to Steer It? /by Lars Jaeger, Michel Dacorogna1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (341 pages)Print version: 9783031471377 (OCoLC)1398569686 Publicly backed science in competition with private companies. Science as part of capitalism -- Philosophy in science is over, and why we need to reinstall it -- Promising and scary developments in future technologies, an overview -- Physics from 1960 to Today, And what we do not know yet -- Computers, nanotechnology, internet and many other technologies. What benefits and challenges physics brought us and will bring us in the future? -- Biology from 1953 to 2023: Major breakthroughs and their ethical issues. How biology became the centre of science and today also lies at the centre of ethical concerns -- Brain research since the 1990s. Significant progress in understanding human (self-)consciousness or a scientific attack on something outside of science? -- Artificial Intelligence from its origins via today to the future. Significant progress in understanding, replicating, and changing us humans or solely technological advances contained to optimising certain processes? -- The path towardsmodern mathematics. More and more abstraction as well as more and more concrete applications -- Astronomical research. The oldest science in history with the newest results of all sciences -- The future of sciences/technologies? From utopian optimism to dystopian pessimism (and possibly back) -- The myth of the optimally functional invisible hand. Why and how research projects and future technologies should be discussed, respectively governed by the public domain? -- Science, Technology and Spirituality. What science can do for society, how society has to shape technology - and how spirituality can set a frame for this shaping process?.This book charts the evolution of the sciences and technologies that have shaped our modern age like nothing else in the last 60 years. As well as describing many exciting developments, it will also highlight the challenges and dangers of the technologies that have emerged from them. While science and technology have brought about enormous and often astonishing improvements in our quality of life, they have often also brought with them considerable risks, including the risk of human extinction. We place particular emphasis on the aspects that directly impact us as human beings: Artificial Intelligence (AI), enhancements of our brains/minds through innovative neuro-technologies, and the integration of nanotechnology into our bodies for early disease detection and elimination. What philosophical implications arise from these transformations? Authored by two theoretical physicists who are also experts in economics and capital markets - a rather rare combination - the book will explain the developments of modern science and the resulting technologies. It also examines the current state of play and emerging developments in a manner accessible to non-scientists. Based on their own experience and the analysis, the authors also propose ways in which science can progress more harmoniously in future.TechnologySociological aspectsArtificial intelligenceNeurosciencesTechnologyMoral and ethical aspectsScience, Technology and SocietyArtificial IntelligenceNeuroscienceEthics of TechnologyTechnologySociological aspects.Artificial intelligence.Neurosciences.TechnologyMoral and ethical aspects.Science, Technology and Society.Artificial Intelligence.Neuroscience.Ethics of Technology.501Jaeger Lars835567Dacorogna Michel M464715MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799202703321Where Is Science Leading Us3872857UNINA
