人工智慧（AI）將改變人類與所有產業的生態。如果你對人工智慧，沒有全面的了解，那就跟不上時代了。很多影響人類的科技發展，都無法做出正確的判斷。一個知名的投資專家說，比起5G，人人手上有，處處可見基地台，AI只有少數大公司用得上，到底有無潛力？有！但是不要想得太美了。他說的對不對？很難判斷嗎？讀完本書，你就會找到正確的解答。其實AI有三種，一種是雲端，就是連到那幾家大公司的機房，用他們大的嚇死人的算力。一種是在本地運算，如汽車的自動駕駛。第三種則是運用在最前端的偵測裝置，以求最快的反應時間。所以你說AI只有幾家大公司用得上，好像也沒有那麼對。所以你要把它想得美一點，它是平地一聲雷，輝達、台積電的股價都應該後面加一千個零，是嗎？但是你知道有資訊科技以來，人類至少經過三次AI的浪潮。很多公司運用AI運用得嚇嚇叫，如文藝復興基金，用機器學習投資，20年來平均的年化報酬率遠勝巴菲特。所以你說AI前程遠大！很OK，但它說他橫空出世？倒也未必，它只是一個連續的改善過程！當然有關AI最誇張的是想像是《魔鬼終結者》，一個是幹掉想毁滅人類的傢伙，而且他可以和人腦一樣的運作。不過有的人是殺人魔，有的人是慈善家。不知可以和人腦一樣運作的AI是慈善家或是殺人魔？AI的形式有很多種，從撰寫大量複雜的函式來實現人工智慧的專家系統，到以大量資料反求智慧判定函式的演算法，如支援向量機（Support Vector Machine, SVM）、決策樹（Decision Tree）等，此領域統稱為機器學習（Machine Learning, ML），而運用神經網路技術，將網路的節點深度擴展延伸，以獲得更好的智慧判定效果，則稱為深度學習（Deep Learning, DL）。你越了解AI的技術背景，就越能掌握它未來對人類的影響。如果你想投資AI相關產業，就更是需要深入了解了。任何資訊科技的運用都有兩個層面，軟體以及執行軟體的硬體。本書除了說明AI運用的基本原理之外，也將詳細說明有關AI的軟體及硬體產業鏈。對一個投資人而言，完整的了解一個產業的上下游關係，是十分必要的。總不能輝達業績創新高，而你完全沒有概念台積電會好還是不好吧？本書以圖文對照的方式，讓你對AI有清楚的認識。不論投資、或生活，可以在新科技浪潮中，穩定前行。本書特色◎100個單元，幫你輕鬆建構清晰的知識網本書以對人工智慧沒有認識的民眾為對象，挑

英文學習遊戲書有了spelling machine的神奇轉盤，拼單字，也可以變得超級有趣！全新包裝，內容再升級 知名親子叢書作家廖彩杏推薦：“ Spelling Machine：Make Spelling Fun！”是一本寓教於樂的遊戲書，讓孩子從小小的拼字遊戲，得到樂趣。 本套書以「校園生活」為主題，分6大場景，共收錄30個常用英文單字。在不同場景，小朋友要先動手動眼，找一找不同物件在哪裡？並學會認識這些物件的英文，學會認字後，用前方的轉盤練習拼字。剛開始認字、學習自然發音的小讀者，都能從遊戲中開心學習！ 【玩法說明】1.第一步，先把紅圈順時針轉到「start」處。2.假設今天要讓孩子熟悉pencil的拼法，就先大聲念出pencil，讓孩子聽聽看，這個單字，是由哪些字母所組成的。3.現在要拼出pencil，就把第一個字母p，順時針轉到start處。4.再把第二個字母e，撥到start處，接下來的字母以此類推。5.最後.恭喜，完成了！請孩子打開翻頁機關確認答案，看到「pencil」了嗎？ 是不是好像變魔術一樣，好神奇呢？拼字，也可以這麼有趣！

In Hegel and the Wired Brain, Slavoj Zizek gives us a reading of philosophical giant G.W.F. Hegel that changes our way of thinking about the new posthuman era. No ordinary study of Hegel, this work investigates what he might have had to say about the idea of the 'wired brain' - what happens when a direct link between our mental processes and a digital machine emerges.Zizek explores the phenomenon of a wired brain effect, and what might happen when we can share our thoughts directly with others. He hones in on the key question of how it shapes our experience and status as 'free' individuals and asks what it means to be human when a machine can read our minds. With characteristic verve and enjoyment of the unexpected, Zizek connects Hegel to the world we live in now, shows why he is much more fun than anyone gives him credit for, and why the 21st century might just be Hegelian.
