In this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs.Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycolle

Surrealism in China initially gained a foothold in Shanghai’s former French concession during the early 1930s, disseminated by returning Chinese students who had directly encountered the movement in Paris and Tokyo. Shanghai surrealism adopted a dialectical form, resonating with the modus operandi of the Parisian movement as well as China’s traditional belief system of Daoism. Reconciling the thought of Freud and Marx, Surrealism subsumed the multiple contradictions that divided Republican Shanghai, East and West, colonial and cosmopolitan, ancient and modern, navigating the porous boundaries that separate dream and reality. Shanghai surrealists were not rigid followers of their Parisian counterparts. Indeed, they commingled Surrealist techniques with elements of traditional Chinese iconography. Rather than revolving around a centralized group with a leader, Shanghai Surrealism was a much more diffuse entity, disseminated across copious different periodicals, avant-garde groups, and th

語言 中 / 英 / 法三種Languages Chinese / English / French《常玉：生平與油畫全集》第一卷，透過檔案資料、照片書信，以及常玉友人的描述來追溯常玉的一生——從他早年在中國和日本的生活，一直到他在巴黎窮困潦倒，不幸離世。常玉從1920年初抵巴黎，鑽研真人模特兒速寫，到開始探索油畫，餘生全心投入；從持續參加沙龍展和各種展覽，希望取得他始終無緣的成功；再到旅居紐約，最後返回巴黎，在種種難以克服的困境下，成為一個更成熟的藝術家。Volume One of Sanyu: His Life and Complete Works in Oil draws upon archival material, photographs, letters, and stories recounted by people who knew him to trace Sanyu’s life from his early years in China and Japan to his tragic death in Paris, impoverished and forgotten. We follow him from his journey in 1920 to Paris, where he delved into the world of sketching from live models, to his exploration of and lifelong commitment to painting in oil, to his continued participation in Salon and other exhibitions, hoping for the success that was never to be, to his experiences in New York, and back to Paris, where he matured as an artist despite insurmountable difficulties.

Davidson presents a unique combination of a deep but broad theoretical framework with a detailed discussion of many naturally occurring flows. Moreover, the bo
