![]() ![]() Author: Agrawal Ajay; Gans Joshua; Goldfarb Avi Publisher: Franco Angeli I dirompenti effetti della diffusione dell'intelligenza artificiale sono in arrivo. Gli autori del bestseller "Macchine predittive" spiegano come affrontarli. L'intelligenza artificiale (IA) ha già avuto un impatto significativo su molti settori economici: sulla finanza, sulla farmaceutica, sull'industria automobilistica, nell'ambito medico, in quello manifatturiero e sul commercio mondiale. Ma il percorso di una sua sistematica applicazione, che condurrà a previsioni più economiche, più precise e più rapide, in grado di guidare le decisioni strategiche di business, è appena iniziato. Quando le previsioni raggiungeranno un livello di accuratezza mai sperimentato prima, i settori economici si trasformeranno e tale trasformazione determinerà effetti dirompenti. Che cosa c'è alla base di questo processo? Nel loro primo libro, Macchine predittive, gli economisti Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans e Avi Goldfarb hanno provato a illustrare le semplici ma rivoluzionarie conseguenze economiche derivanti dall'adozione dell'IA. Ora, in questo nuovo lavoro, approfondiscono la loro analisi, focalizzandosi su di un elemento più basilare: la decisione. Gli autori spiegano come i due ingredienti chiave del processo decisionale, la previsione e il giudizio, siano elaborati contestualmente dalla nostra mente, spesso senza che noi ce ne rendiamo conto. L'ascesa dell'IA sta spostando il compito di effettuare previsioni dagli esseri umani alle macchine, sollevando i primi da questo carico cognitivo e aumentando la velocità e l'accuratezza delle decisioni. Ciò avrà profonde implicazioni per l'innovazion € 29,00

![]() ![]() Author: Agrawal Ajay; Gans Joshua; Goldfarb Avi Publisher: Franco Angeli L'intelligenza artificiale (IA) è in grado di fare qualcosa di apparentemente impossibile ai nostri occhi: far scoccare la scintilla della vita nelle macchine. Macchine che guidano automobili, che investono in borsa e persino che insegnano ai bambini. Affrontare il cambiamento epocale che l'IA porta con sé può essere paralizzante. In che modo le aziende dovranno attrezzarsi, riorganizzarsi, ripensare le loro strategie, i governi stabilire adeguate politiche industriali e sociali e le persone pianificare le loro vite in un mondo che sarà così diverso da quello che conosciamo? Di fronte a tanta incertezza, alcuni analisti indietreggiano terrorizzati, mentre altri azzardano previsioni di un impossibile futuro radioso. In questo libro, tre eminenti economisti adottano un punto di vista originale e guardano all'IA come a uno strumento in grado di rendere estremamente economico formulare delle previsioni. Con un solo colpo magistrale liberano così l'IA dall'alone magico in cui è avvolta e, utilizzando alcuni principi fondamentali delle scienze economiche, fanno chiarezza sulla rivoluzione in corso, fornendo una base per l'azione di CEO, manager, policy maker, investitori e imprenditori. Intesa come mezzo per previsioni a basso costo, l'IA rivela tutte le sue straordinarie potenzialità. Le previsioni sono infatti al cuore delle decisioni prese in condizioni di incertezza, decisioni che permeano la nostra vita e quella delle nostre aziende. Gli strumenti predittivi aumentano la produttività, permettendo il funzionamento delle macchine, gestendo i documenti, comunicando con i client € 30,00

![]() ![]() Author: Jay Joshua Publisher: Workman Pub Co Magic is everywhere, from the big spectacle celebrity of David Copperfield and Siegfried and Roy to the quirky Penn and Teller to the spooky David Blaine and Criss Angel to the endless material on YouTube. But until now, learning it has never been easy—that's all about to change with Magic, a book that does for close-up magic what How to Grill does for barbecue. Written by charismatic young magician Joshua Jay, Magic combines expertise, photographs, step-by-step directions showing how to perform 100 tricks, and a DVD that demonstrates 75 of them. Joshua Jay took home the top prize at the World Magic Seminar (the Olympics of magic) when he was just 16 years old. Ten years later, he continues to perform magic, write about magic, eat, sleep, and breathe magic. Here, he brings all his passion and knowledge to teaching magic. Each trick is broken down into the Effect, the Secret, the Set-up, and, most important, the Performance, with lessons on what to say, how to direct the audience's attention, where to keep your hands, and so on. (In other words, how to be smart about the things your audience is surprisingly clueless about.) Here are the Ten Greatest Card Tricks; tricks to dazzle a dinner date; tricks to perform for the boss (poke a hole through his shirt, then magically mend it); tricks especially for kids; and even tricks for an audience in another state—with "Australian Self-Help," you can find a participant's chosen card over the phone. It's the Aha! book for a subject whose time has come. € 20,50
