AI繪畫是藝術創作領域一項前所未有的變革， 它的出現，可能會徹底改變藝術家們沿襲了數千年的創作方法。 AI繪畫技術的影響是深遠的， 我們仍處在這次技術浪潮的初期， 但已經可以預見在不遠的將來， 插畫、設計等領域將因之迎來鉅變。 ▍什麼是AI繪畫？ AI繪畫（Artificial Intelligence Painting）指的是應用人工智慧技術生成繪畫作品。這項技術的產生源於電腦科學、神經網路和機器學習等領域的發展。最早的電腦生成技術可以追溯到1950年代，近年來的發展則主要歸功於深度學習技術的進步以及硬體效能的提升。 ▍Midjourney是什麼？ Midjourney是一個由同名研究實驗室開發的人工智慧程式，自2022年7月12日起開始公開測試。 透過運用最新的AI技術，Midjourney能根據使用者輸入的自然語言描述自動生成圖片，這意味著使用者無須具備任何藝術天賦或繪畫技巧，只需簡單地輸入一段文字描述，它便能創作出令人驚嘆的影像。 ▍Midjourney怎麼用？ Midjourney完全執行在雲端，沒有專用客戶端，使用者需要透過Discord平台與Midjourney機器人進行互動。因此，執行Midjourney對裝置硬體沒有很高的要求，無論是電腦還是手機，只要可以訪問Discord就能使用Midjourney。 ▍Stable Diffusion是什麼？ Stable Diffusion由StabilityAI公司開發，無疑是最知名也最有影響力的技術之一。得益於其卓越的圖片生成效果、完全開源的特點以及相對較低的配置需求（可在消費級GPU上執行），在推出後不久它就流行開來，大量開發者以及公司加入它的社群參與共建，同時，還有很多公司基於Stable Diffusion推出了自己的AI繪畫應用。 ▍Stable Diffusion怎麼用？ Stable Diffusion本身並不支持圖形介面，需要透過使用命令列的方式呼叫，這對普通使用者而言操作體驗很不友好。因此，一些開發者為它開發了各種圖形介面，其中最流行的當數Stable Diffusion Web UI，它是一個基於瀏覽器的操作介面，同時也是一個免費開源專案，任何人都可以安裝和使用。 ★本書特色：本書介紹AI繪畫的基礎知識以及Midjourney和Stable Diffusion兩大流行AI繪畫工具的用法。

Fills a gap in Korean Wave studies by studying it through the lens of gender. Women We Love is an edited collection exploring femininities in and around the Korean Wave since 2000. While studies on the Korean Wave are abundant, there is a dearth of analysis about the female-identifying stars, characters, and fans who shape and lead this crucial cultural movement. Using "women" as an inclusive term extending to all those who self-define as women, this collection of essays examines the role of women in K-pop and K-drama industries and fandom spaces, encompassing crucial intersectional topics such as queering of gender, dissemination of media, and fan culture. The audience for Women We Love will reflect the contributors to this text; they are K-pop and K-drama fans, queer, international; they are also academics of Asian histories, sociology, gender and sexuality, art history, and visual culture. The chapters are playful, intersectional, and will be adapted well into syllabi for media stud

專利歷史源遠流長，貿易戰的一甲子烽火啟示了什麼？運用人工智慧和巨量資料，翻轉不對稱的專利零和賽局！本書一一透析出專利營運問題癥結之所在，創造出新一代的解決方案，改變專利權力遊戲僵局。◤為何大多數亞洲國家和企業仍深陷於美國專利戰爭？為何過往縱使投入了龐大資源申請大量的母國專利和美國專利，卻如同竹籃打水，鮮有用武之地？為何擁有龐大的各國專利資產，卻仍擺脫不了他人主張美國專利、提起美國專利訴訟和要求授權的糾纏，甚至淪為美國專利的提款機？時至今日，還看不到亞洲國家和企業能創造出真正的拐點。◤在智慧財產權這塊戰場中，後進國家是否參透了歐美企業如何運用專利於市場博弈、貿易戰和科技戰？在人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence, AI）的時代，亞洲企業如何運用人工智慧與巨量資料（Big Data）以及專業實務，導入智慧財產管理的新機制，建立創新的智慧財產與企業營運戰略，提升在國際的競爭力？◤亞洲國家所面臨的專利問題癥結：在於未掌握歐美專利生態系及其組織編制等，未發現目前歐美專利生態系的實質缺陷並提出真正解方；缺乏專利生命週期管理後段的訴訟等經驗；長期以母國專利申請為始點，非一開始即以美國專利產業為出發的實務營運考量；無法從資料分析並以多種維度透析和利用專利資料，賦予新意涵及新用途；沒有投入基礎研究和應用研究，導致少有前瞻技術造成專利價值低落；多數企業未能善用新科技。唯有打造專業智財基礎環境向下紮根，重視創新研發才是真正的專利解方。本書一一提供解決方案！│專文推薦│劉江彬（財團法人磐安智慧財產教育基金會董事長）李永川（雃博股份有限公司董事長）余範英（余紀忠文教基金會董事長）
