AI for Diversity

AI for Diversity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting many aspects of people’s lives across the globe from relatively mundane technology to more advanced digital systems that can make their own decisions. While AI has great potential it also holds great peril depending on how it is designed and used. AI for Diversity questions how AI technology can lead to inclusion or exclusion for diverse groups in society. The way data is selected trained used and embedded into societies can have unfortunate consequences unless we critically investigate the dangers of systems left unchecked and can lead to misogynistic homophobic racist ageist transphobic or ableist outcomes. This book encourages the reader to take a step back to see how AI is impacting diverse groups of people and how diversity-awareness strategies can impact AI.

AI for Learning

AI for Learning

What is artificial intelligence (AI)? How can AI help a learner a teacher or a system designer? What are the positive impacts of AI on human learning? AI for Learning examines how artificial intelligence can and should positively impact human learning whether it be in formal or informal educational and training contexts. The notion of ‘can’ is bound up with ongoing technological developments. The notion of ‘should’ is bound up with an ethical stance that recognises the complementary capabilities of human and artificial intelligence as well as the objectives of doing good not doing harm increasing justice and maintaining fairness. The book considers the different supporting roles that can help a learner – from AI as a tutor and learning aid to AI as a classroom moderator among others – and examines both the opportunities and risks associated with each.

Representation Theory of Symmetric Groups

Representation Theory of Symmetric Groups

Representation Theory of Symmetric Groups is the most up-to-date abstract algebra book on the subject of symmetric groups and representation theory. Utilizing new research and results this book can be studied from a combinatorial algorithmic or algebraic viewpoint. This book is an excellent way of introducing today’s students to representation theory of the symmetric groups namely classical theory. From there the book explains how the theory can be extended to other related combinatorial algebras like the Iwahori-Hecke algebra. In a clear and concise manner the author presents the case that most calculations on symmetric group can be performed by utilizing appropriate algebras of functions. Thus the book explains how some Hopf algebras (symmetric functions and generalizations) can be used to encode most of the combinatorial properties of the representations of symmetric groups. Overall the book is an innovative introduction to representation theory of symmetric groups for graduate students and researchers seeking new ways of thought.

AI for Scientific Discovery

AI for Scientific Discovery

AI for Scientific Discovery provides an accessible introduction to the wide-ranging applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in scientific research and discovery across the full breadth of scientific disciplines. AI technologies support discovery science in multiple ways. They support literature management and synthesis allowing the wealth of what has already been discovered and reported on to be integrated and easily accessed. They play a central role in data analysis and interpretation in the context of what is called ‘data science’. AI is also helping to combat the reproducibility crisis in scientific research by underpinning the discovery process with AI-enabled standards and pipelines and supporting the management of large-scale data and knowledge resources so that they can be shared and integrated and serve as a background ‘knowledge ecosystem’ into which new discoveries can be embedded. However there are limitations to what AI can achieve and its outputs can be biased and confounded and thus should not be blindly trusted. The latest generation of hybrid and ‘human-in-the-loop’ AI technologies have as their objective a balance between human inputs and insights and the power of number-crunching and statistical inference at a massive scale that AI technologies are best at.

Cybersecurity for Everyone

Cybersecurity for Everyone

Cyberspace is a critical part of our lives. Although we all use cyberspace for work entertainment and social life much of its infrastructure and operation is invisible to us. We spend a big part of our lives in an environment that is almost an essential service but is full of potential dangers: a place where criminals can commit new kinds of crimes where governments can exert political pressure and where we can be hurt by the unthinking actions of the bored and careless. Making cyberspace more secure is one of the challenges of our times. This is not only (or perhaps even primarily) a technical challenge. It requires actions by governments and businesses to encourage security whenever possible and to make sure that their own actions do not undermine it. Unfortunately many of those in a position to do something about cybersecurity do not have the background to understand the issues fully. Cybersecurity for Everyone will help by describing the issues in a way that is accessible to anyone but especially those from non-technical backgrounds.
