The most powerful weapon in business today is the alliance between the mathematical smarts of machines and the imaginative human intellect of great leaders.

We are at a once-in-a-decade breaking point similar to the quality revolution of the 1980s and the dawn of the internet age in the 1990s: leaders must transform how they run their organizations, or competitors will bring them crashing to earth--often overnight. Mathematical corporations--the organizations that will master the future--will outcompete high-flying rivals by merging the best of human ingenuity with machine intelligence.

'Ooops': Internet

Wie eine Epidemie im Zeitraffer breitete sich der erpresserische Computercode der Gattung 'Ransomware' aus, lautlos, unheimlich und rasend schnell verbreitet sich die Erpressungssoftware 'WannaCry'. Danach gab es erst einmal kein Halten mehr. Je mehr Computer infiziert wurden, desto schneller breitete sich der Schädling aus. Schreckensszenarien eines globalen Kontrollverlusts werden plötzlich vorstellbar: Flugzeuge heben nicht mehr ab, Züge entgleisen, Geldautomaten versagen, das Licht geht aus, Nahrungsmittel verrotten im Lager, lebenswichtige Apparate im Krankenhaus schalten sich ab. Ein Stillstand des öffentlichen Lebens, umfassend, gleichzeitig und global. Nun wird deutlich, wie verletzlich unsere vernetzte Welt geworden ist. Und wie unser Alltag von Technologien abhängt, die wir nur scheinbar beherrschen. Dies ist die Vertonung eines Artikels aus der SPIEGEL-Ausgabe 21/2017.

Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are

Foreword by Steven Pinker Blending the informed analysis of The Signal and the Noise with the instructive iconoclasm of Think Like a Freak, a fascinating, illuminating, and witty look at what the vast amounts of information now instantly available to us reveals about ourselves and our world—provided we ask the right questions. By the end of on average day in the early twenty-first century, human beings searching the internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information—unprecedented in history—can tell us a great deal about who we are—the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than twenty years ago, seemed unfathomable. Everybody Lies offers fascinating, surprising, and sometimes laugh-out-loud insights into everything from economics to ethics to sports to race to sex, gender and more, all drawn from the world of big data. What percentage of white voters didn’t vote for Barack Obama because he’s black? Does where you go to school effect how successful you are in life? Do parents secretly favor boy children over girls? Do violent films affect the crime rate? Can you beat the stock market? How regularly do we lie about our sex lives and who’s more self-conscious about sex, men or women? Investigating these questions and a host of others, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz offers revelations that can help us understand ourselves and our lives better. Drawing on studies and experiments on how we really live and think, he demonstrates in fascinating and often funny ways the extent to which all the world is indeed a lab. With conclusions ranging from strange-but-true to thought-provoking to disturbing, he explores the power of this digital truth serum and its deeper potential—revealing biases deeply embedded within us, information we can use to change our culture, and the questions we’re afraid to ask that might be essential to our health—both emotional and physical. All of us are touched by big data everyday, and its influence is multiplying. Everybody Lies challenges us to think differently about how we see it and the world. **Please Contact Customer Service for Additional Documents**

Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins

"A highly human exploration of artificial intelligence, its exciting possibilities and inherent limits." --Max Levchin, cofounder of PayPal, CEO of Affirm, and Silicon Valley angel investor Garry Kasparov's 1997 chess match against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in the history of technology. It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: a machine capable of beating the reigning human champion at this most cerebral game. That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this breakthrough book, Kasparov reveals his astonishing side of the story for the first time. He describes how it felt to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent with the whole world watching, and recounts the history of machine intelligence through the microcosm of chess, considered by generations of scientific pioneers to be a key to unlocking the secrets of human and machine cognition. Kasparov uses his unrivaled experience to look into the future of intelligent machines and sees it bright with possibility. As many critics decry artificial intelligence as a menace, particularly to human jobs, Kasparov shows how humanity can rise to new heights with the help of our most extraordinary creations, rather than fear them. Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for technological progress, from the man who stood at its precipice with his own career at stake.
