The field of forensic psychology has traditionally been associated largely with forensic mental health evaluations prepared for consideration by courts and other entities, and far less attention has been paid to the development and dissemination of services and interventions that may be informed by such assessments. As a result, the majority of practitioners do not know how to go about pursuing such professional opportunities. Responding to this need for more community-based services for justice-involved individuals and the lack of coordination, The Path Forward presents a detailed survey of different focus areas of professional forensic practice within community settings. These projects and psychological services are creative, expand boundaries, and offer a roadmap and a vision for the future of these areas as well as broadening awareness of what these services and projects are actually providing. Covering the domains of assessment, intervention, consultation, and education, and writt

"AI expert Jerry Kaplan explains how generative AI will revolutionize virtually every human activity. Highly recommended." - Francis Fukuyama, Political scientist and author of The End of History and the Last Man Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers. Have we finally discovered the holy grail of AI - machines that match or exceed human intelligence? Which industries and professions will thrive, and which will wither? What risks and dangers will it pose?

Smartphones, nuclear warheads, moon bases, computers . . . all bear the fingerprints of one remarkable man: John von Neumann. Born in Budapest in 1903, he moved to America in 1930 and--in his work as mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, and engineer--became one of the most influential scientists of the century. Von Neumann was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and the design of the atom bomb; he helped formulate game theory, the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory; he created the programmable digital computer; he prophesized the potential of nanotechnology; and, from his deathbed, he outlined a vision of artificial intelligence.In telling the story of Von Neumann's life and ideas, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and historical circumstance allowed one man to sweep through so many different fields of science, sparking revolutions wherever he went. The Man from the Future is a thrilling biography of a visionary thinker who shap
