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

★ 探討「生物設計×人工智慧」如何重塑建築與城市未來★ 從都市微生物到地質尺度，拓展設計的時間與空間想像★ 結合實務案例與學術研究，提出設計作為「共生系統」的全新觀點在人工智慧與氣候危機交織的當代，設計的角色正快速轉變。本書《Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green》由創新設計團隊 ecoLogicStudio 主導，延續其前作《Systemic Architecture》，進一步提出「設計智慧」不僅屬於數位領域，也深植於生物系統之中。全書分為兩大部分：第一部分「PhotoSynthetica™」聚焦於都市尺度的應用，透過介入城市微生物生態系，發展能即時回應環境的設計方案；第二部分「Deep Green」則將視野擴展至更宏觀的時空尺度，探索合成地景與長時間演化過程，將設計視為一種影響地理與地質的力量。作者結合於 University of Innsbruck 與 UCL Bartlett School of Architecture 的研究成果，提出設計應被理解為一種延伸的認知介面——一個具有感知能力、能與地球生命系統共演化的存在。在無法簡單「逆轉」氣候變遷的現實下，本書主張我們應建立新的正向變化動能，讓建築與設計成為維繫地球美感與生命力的重要角色。這不僅是一本關於未來設計的書，更是一份重新思考人類、科技與自然關係的深刻提案。Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green investigates the potential of nature-based technology for shaping the evolution of contemporary architecture and design.

This collection of essays critically evaluates the legal framework necessary for the use of autonomous ships in international waters. The work is divided into three parts:Part 1 evaluates how far national shipping regulation, and the public international law background that lies behind it, may need modification and updating to accommodate the use of autonomous ships on international voyages. Part 2 deals with private law and insurance issues such as collision and pollution liability, salvage, limitation of liability and allocation of risk between carrier and cargo interests. Part 3 analyses international convention regimes dealing with maritime safety and other matters, arguing for specific changes in the existing conventions such as SOLAS and MARPOL, which would provide the international framework that is necessary for putting autonomous ships into commercial use. The book also takes the view that amendment of international conventions is important in the case of liability issues, arg
