Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been making waves around the world as AI tools, such as ChatGPT, and other AI technologies have been adopted as they've become available in the last several years, or, completely avoided as concern rises over the use. AI is changing how we function in our personal and professional daily life and how various industries do business. It's mentioned in the news quite often as discussion grows about what roles AI will have in the future, what advances are being made, and what impacts AI is having.
With how much AI is influencing the world, there are important considerations to be made in therms of regulations to limit or increase AI use and the ethics of use. Global leaders and policy makers are working on various legislation regarding AI. Although AI and machine learning have been actively researched for decades through government agencies, private companies, and universities, foreign and domestic governments are pushing for even more extensive AI research and advancement as technology has improved. Universities, in particular, may receive funding from or may collaborate with government agencies through joint research projects to further AI research and development. Universities and K-12 schools and their instructors are learning about and discussing best practices for student use and how to manage AI use (or use prevention) in homework and exams. They also have to teach about AI use in source material as more content on the Internet (social media and some news - particularly fake news) is full of AI-generated content that may appear real.
The important thing to note is that AI is here to stay. It continues to permeate our lives and how people everywhere do things.

DB 116405 The coming wave: technology, power, and the twenty-first century's greatest dilemma by Mustafa Suleyman and Michael Bhaskar
"We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change. Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy. None of us are prepared. As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies. In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other. Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia? This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes "the containment problem"-the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies-as the essential challenge of our age." -- Provided by publisher. -- Commercial audiobook.

"As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen--usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI."-- Provided by publisher. -- Unrated.

DB 116251 Scary smart: the future of artificial intelligence and how you can save the world by Mo Gawdat
"Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong? The answer is us. Humans design the algorithms that define the way that AI works, and the processed information reflects an imperfect world. Does that mean we are doomed? In Scary Smart, Mo Gawdat, the internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy, draws on his considerable expertise to answer this question and to show what we can all do now to teach ourselves and our machines how to live better. With more than thirty years' experience working at the cutting-edge of technology and his former role as chief business officer of Google [X], no one is better placed than Mo Gawdat to explain how the Artificial Intelligence of the future works. By 2049 AI will be a billion times more intelligent than humans. Scary Smart explains how to fix the current trajectory now, to make sure that the AI of the future can preserve our species.
