Este es el siglo de las dos singularidades: la singularidad económica (desempleo tecnológico) y la singularidad tecnológica (la explosión de la inteligencia). Ambas presentan enormes oportunidades y enormes desafíos. Si las manejamos con éxito, nuestro futuro como especie será más que maravilloso. Si fallamos, podría ser miserable, y quizás breve. El impulsor es la inteligencia artificial (IA), la tecnología más poderosa de la humanidad....

This book shows you how to build real-time image processing systems all the way through to house automation. Find out how you can develop a system based on small 32-bit ARM processors that gives you complete control through voice commands. Real-time image processing systems are utilized in a wide variety of applications, such as in traffic monitoring systems, medical image processing, and biometric security systems. In Real-Time IoT Imaging with Deep...

Petty criminal Zara Cole is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans chosen by the Leviathan to explore the outer reaches of the universe. Petty criminal Zara Cole's painful past made her strong, and she chose life in New Detroit instead moving with her family to Mars. But now she's committed a crime that has her heading to jail. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan-- a race of sentient...

"The year is 2065 and an accidental encounter in space leads to the discovery that we are not alone and that our continued existence may be in jeopardy. Scientist Chris Holt, working at the Space Resources Corp., discovers that one of the asteroids he is surveying for mining is actually a derelict spaceship. What Earth doesn't know is that across the galaxy, a war has been underway for millennia. A war between alien civilizations that have very different...

Network security is any action an organization takes to prevent malicious use or accidental damage to the network's private data, its users or their devices. The goal of network security is to keep the network running and safe for all legitimate users.Security incident response is one key aspect of maintaining organizational security.
