Before you get to Homo sapiens, you must first deal with Homo roboticus. Inside all of us is the strangest thing, a biological robot. You notice it during sleepwalking and hypnosis, but in fact it's there all the time. Most people have had the experience of driving from A to B and then realizing they have no memory of actually having done the driving. It just seemed to happen, almost by itself. The robot in fact did the driving. It's the human autopilot and it handles most things. Most people are conscious very little of the time. They are usually in autopilot mode. Thousands of years ago, the autopilot human was all that existed. How we got from the robotic human mode to human consciousness is one of the greatest tales the cosmos has to tell. How did biological robots turn into human beings with free will? And why has no other animal on earth managed the same trick? Come inside and discover the answer to this greatest of all mysteries.

Wonderful Worlds is an explanation to laymen of events in cosmos and earth history, sequences of species life, and interactions of the brain, mind, soul, genome, enzymes, organs, and body. We see development of cultures directed from positions of logic and reason, eventually describing what makes us human. Proposed as beginning even before the accepted moment of the big bang, the cosmos erupts later over billions of years to first life in a progression of species, eventually leading to a fresh look at Homo erectus and newly thought subspecies of Neanderthal, sapiens, and modern man. Presented here are at least thirty alternatives to generally accepted myth, magic, and misclassifications in history. Man with emotions, including an underlying spirituality, combined with soul, brain, mind, genome, and body has experienced his evolution for over 600,000 years of a 13.7 billion-year existence. Only in the past ten thousand years has man acted in society as an intelligent, technical, communicating, calculating, emotional, and spiritual resident of Earth, even to expanding in the universe. This comprehensive collection of alternative views should be on the reading shelf of every person inquisitive of his or her planet Earths birthright.

The original edition of this book was called Human Predators (2016). Since then, the book has been reprinted under different names, until the final name of the book became Human Trails. The book consists of several articles of the author on the different topics. Some of them are topical, while others are more principled reflections on the existence of man. The writer is a social scientist and psychologist by training, and this is reflected in his writings. His critical internal view is that many of the factors affecting the life of modern man are harmful to human health and should be changed. The writings do not contain direct life instructions for the reader, but by reading them, he can gain useful stimuli for independent thinking and surviving in his own life.

What are you supposed to do with a bunch of homicidal androids after the international crime syndicate that created them is brought down? They could easily be decommissioned, but why not sell them off to a Wild West theme park? They could be reprogrammed, so they wouldn't kill anybody, and stage all kinds of mock gunfights to entertain the kids. What could possibly go wrong? Fembot Sally is about to find out...

This book formulates a new theological approach to the study of religion in gaming. Video games have become one of the most important cultural artifacts of modern society, both as mediators of cultural, social, and religious values and in terms of commercial success. This has led to a significant increase in the critical analysis of this relatively new medium, but theology as an academic discipline is noticeably behind the other humanities on this subject. The book first covers the fundamentals of cultural theology and video games. It then moves on to set out a Christian systematic theology of gaming, focusing on creational theology, Christology, anthropology, evil, moral theology, and thanatology. Each chapter introduces case studies from video games connected to the specific theme. In contrast to many studies which focus on online multiplayer games, the examples considered are largely single player games with distinct narratives and ‘end of game’ moments. The book concludes by synthesizing these themes into a new theology of video games. This study addresses a significant aspect of contemporary society that has yet to be discussed in any depth by theologians. It is, therefore, a fantastic resource for any scholar engaging with the religious aspects of digital and popular culture.

Creativity has been of central importance to the development of the modern State, and yet creativity is something that has become increasingly side-lined. This has been particularly apparent with the development of new machinic technologies, such as 3D printing. This monograph argues that inner creativity, combined with the zone of discourse, has been endangered by the rise of administrative regulation. Griffin investigates how the failure to incorporate creativity into that administrative regulation is adversely impacting the regulation of technologies such as 3D printing. The State of Creativity, proposes reforms to ensure that the regulation does take creativity into account.

AI in Clinical Practice: A Guide to Artificial Intelligence and Digital Medicine explains how artificial intelligence is applied to medicine, illustrating not only its enormous potential but also ancillary issues and the limits and risks inherent in its use on a large scale. The book focuses on the intersection between medicine and AI and its implications on the impact of human health care delivery. Topics discussed include wearable devices, health data, Internet of Things, virtual reality, robotic assistance system, and digital intelligence in the health sector. Additionally, sections discuss diagnostics and decision-making systems and machine/deep learning in clinical setting. This is a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, students and members of the biomedical and medical fields who want to learn more about the use of AI to improve patient care. - Covers emerging topics related to the intersection of AI and clinical practice - Discusses the most relevant concepts and developments on AI in a didactic way for clinical applicability - Presents content tailored to a non-specialized readership, focusing on the main points that clinicians and health workers must know to be updated on the most recent developments of AI

The current state of the art in cognitive robotics, covering the challenges of building AI-powered intelligent robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. A novel approach to building AI-powered intelligent robots takes inspiration from the way natural cognitive systems—in humans, animals, and biological systems—develop intelligence by exploiting the full power of interactions between body and brain, the physical and social environment in which they live, and phylogenetic, developmental, and learning dynamics. This volume reports on the current state of the art in cognitive robotics, offering the first comprehensive coverage of building robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. Contributors first provide a systematic definition of cognitive robotics and a history of developments in the field. They describe in detail five main approaches: developmental, neuro, evolutionary, swarm, and soft robotics. They go on to consider methodologies and concepts, treating topics that include commonly used cognitive robotics platforms and robot simulators, biomimetic skin as an example of a hardware-based approach, machine-learning methods, and cognitive architecture. Finally, they cover the behavioral and cognitive capabilities of a variety of models, experiments, and applications, looking at issues that range from intrinsic motivation and perception to robot consciousness. Cognitive Robotics is aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, balancing technical details and examples for the computational reader with theoretical and experimental findings for the empirical scientist.
