In the industrial age, automation came for the shoemaker and the seamstress. Today, it has come for the writer, physician, programmer, and attorney. Literary Theory for Robots reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking readers on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this provocative reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, former Microsoft engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Smart tools, like dictionaries and grammar books, have always accompanied the act of writing, thinking, and communicating. That these paper machines are now automated does not bring them to life. Nor can we cede agency over the creative process. With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.

In the modern symphony of business, each section-from the technical to the managerial-must play in harmony. Authors Ron Itelman and Juan Cruz Viotti introduce a bold methodology to synchronize your business and technical teams, transforming them into a single, high-performing unit. Misalignment between business and technical teams halts innovation. You'll learn how to transcend the root causes of project failure-the ambiguity, knowledge gaps, and blind spots that lead to wasted efforts. No matter what industry you work in, JSON is likely already used by your organization and that you have at least heard about it. JSON (javascript Object Notation) is a standard and language-agnostic data interchange format inspired by a subset of the javascript programming language. JSON is easy to learn. Its simplicity, both in terms of data types and grammar, was a significant contributing factor to its popularity. The specification that defines JSON states: “Because it is so simple, it is not expected that the JSON grammar will ever change. This gives JSON, as a foundational notation, tremendous stability.” If you are working with data in some way, familiarity with JSON and its ecosystem is a powerful skill. At the time of writing, JSON is the lingua franca, or common tongue, of data.

This monograph explores the synergy of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR) and cognitive processes to enhance spatial abilities — an integral aspect of cognitive development. The ability to comprehend and manipulate spatial information is not only fundamental to our understanding of the physical world but also plays a pivotal role in numerous academic and professional fields. Recognizing the profound impact of spatial ability on scientific disciplines and educational achievement, this monograph takes on the challenge of enhancing spatial skills among users. In an ever-evolving world driven by technological advancements, the intersection of spatial intelligence, augmented reality, and fuzzy logic user modeling has emerged as a captivating frontier of research and innovation. These three interconnected realms are not only at the forefront of technological development but also have the potential to reshape and enhance a multitude of domains, including education, Artificial Intelligence, and industry. However, while these concepts have made waves in academic circles and technology hubs, their integration into education remains relatively uncharted territory.
