This comprehensive book dives deep into the current landscape of AI, exploring its fundamental principles, development challenges, potential risks, and…
the cutting-edge breakthroughs that are propelling it forward. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries and societies worldwide through groundbreaking innovations and real-world applications. Starting with the core concepts, the book examines the various types of AI systems, generative AI models, and the complexities of machine learning. It delves into the programming languages driving AI development, data pipelines, model creation and deployment processes, while shedding light on issues like AI hallucinations and the intricate path of machine unlearning.The book then showcases the remarkable real-world applications of AI across diverse domains. From preventing job displacement and promoting environmental sustainability, to enhancing disaster response, drone technology, and even nuclear energy innovation, it highlights how AI is tackling complex challenges and driving positive change.The book also explores the double-edged nature of AI, recognizing its tremendous potential while cautioning about the risks of misuse, unintended consequences, and the urgent need for responsible development practices. It examines the intersection of AI and fields like operating system design, warfare, and semiconductor technology, underscoring the wide-ranging implications of this transformative force.As the quest for artificial general intelligence (AGI) and superintelligent AI systems intensifies, the book delves into cutting-edge research, emerging trends, and the pursuit of multimodal, explainable, and causally aware AI systems. It explores the symbiotic relationship between AI and human creativity, the rise of user-friendly "casual AI," and the potential of AI to tackle open-ended tasks.This is an essential guide for understanding the profound impact of AI on our world today and its potential to shape our future. From the frontiers of innovation to the challenges of responsible development, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the remarkable real-world applications and innovations driving the AI revolution.

This book demonstrates that contracts, community intermediaries, and participatory processes are closely interlinked, and they can change urban politics.In participatory…
processes, residents negotiate with policymakers about the future of their neighborhood. In the last few decades, this happened increasingly in co-creation sessions where citizens are deemed to have an equal position vis-a-vis developers and civil servants. The goal of this book is to understand and theorize how these negotiations affect collective action. The book will scrutinize the role of contracts, community intermediaries, and participatory processes in development projects and planning policies. Using a comparative case study of Amsterdam, Hamburg, and New York, this book reveals how seemingly fresh and novel planning practices are used to justify processes of capital accumulation and reveals how morals, politics, and law can create institutional change.The book presents a novel theoretical approach to studying urban politics, putting emphasis on (private) law and the material arrangements of participatory processes. It will be of interest to researchers and students of planning, geography, sociology, public administration, and law and will provide valuable lessons for practitioners interested in understanding the effects of contractual governance on neighborhoods.

This book offers the first in-depth study of three major Hong Kong public cultural architecture works, Tsuen Wan Town Hall,…
Shatin Town Hall and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre (HKCC), built in the late-colonial years.Recent developments at the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) have attracted global attention to Hong Kong's cultural scene with iconic projects designed by world-renowned architects. However, relatively little has been written about the common-type municipal cultural buildings. Conceived and constructed over the last decades of British colonial rule, these public buildings are sometimes regarded with lower aesthetic value and neglected in the architectural discourse. Yet, they are evidence of the cultural and urban policy during a critical time in Hong Kong as it transitioned from a colonial territory to currently a semi-autonomous city. The book provides a detailed chronology of the development of municipal cultural buildings in Hong Kong by compiling textual and graphic data from archival documents and government records, some of which have not been previously accessible to readers, accompanied by newly produced analytical diagrams and drawings. This history intersects with key moments during the late-colonial period in Hong Kong, presenting a particular perspective related to the social context in its dealings with cultural architecture and spatial practices.This book is a timely reflection of cultural and spatial production, calling for alternative projections about Hong Kong’s future urban and cultural development. It will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural design, urban planning and cultural policy studies in Hong Kong and the East Asia region.

The first full-length study of this beloved children’s series, The Chalet School in the Twentieth Century moves beyond the largely…
generic analysis within which it has previously been discussed. Published between 1925 and 1970, the series moves from European reconciliation after the Great War, through a second global conflict to a post-war world increasingly defined by increased secularity and emerging consumerism. Reproducing cover illustrations, Miles Booy’s book examines both those issues which author Elinor M. Brent-Dyer consciously explored (such as the exceptional The Chalet School in Exile, which she sought to explain the Nazi occupation of Austria to her young readers) and those aspects of the text which must be read symptomatically. This is a book which will engage students with historical and cultural interests beyond children’s literature. With barely a midnight feast in sight, but much anxiety about social change, it’s a familiar genre, but not as you think you know it. Hurry up, new girls, class is about to begin...

An entertaining and deeply nostalgic dive into how female pop stars broke through the music industry in the 2000s and…
altered the cultural landscape forever, from the Ringer writer and Every Single Album podcast cohost&“Hit Girls bridges our butterfly-clipped, bedazzled past with today&’s music world, revealing how the pop songs we belted in our bedrooms shaped everything we&’re streaming now.&”—Kate Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of One in a MillennialLow-rise jeans, butterfly clips, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and Paris Hilton&’s nights out. The early 2000s were a time of major moments in fashion, media, celebrity culture, and especially music. The aughts were a particularly fruitful era for female artists—still the only decade in the history of recorded music when women made up more than half the list of highest-grossing performers—and especially pop stars. Artists such as Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Beyoncé were leading the charge—their success not only leading to a new respect for female artists, but for pop stardom itself.In Hit Girls, Nora Princiotti examines how these artists redefined the role of the pop star within the music industry and culture more broadly, and fundamentally set the stage for the women who top the charts today. Princiotti unpacks the shifts in genre, technology, and celebrity culture that sparked this evolution through the stories of the biggest names in aughties pop. Like how Britney opened the bubblegum floodgates at the start of the decade, inspiring both copycats like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson and mall punk antagonists like Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson. Or how innovations in technology led to the rise of EDM as Rihanna experimented with sound while Ke$ha and Katy Perry embraced the &“party anthem.&”Along the way, Princiotti explores how celebrity evolved alongside the changes in media from the tabloid days à la Lindsay Lohan to MySpace, Instagram and how Taylor created one of the largest, most dedicated fandoms the world has ever seen.The ultimate love letter to pop music, Hit Girls celebrates the women who revolutionized the genre, inspired the next generation, and—in some cases—are burning brighter than ever.
