  The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. 
   
  AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples. 
    
  Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced. 
    
  The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal. 
    
  Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.

  The author of acclaimed memoirs about life on a French olive farm explores the larger history and culture of the Mediterranean delicacy. Carol Drinkwater has a passion for olive trees and the fruit they bear—“bitter berries” that are transformed into savory delights and pressed into precious oil. Already intimately familiar with the fruit thanks to her olive farm in the South of France, she decided to travel throughout the Mediterranean basin—from Marseille to Malta, Israel to Tunisia—in a quest to learn about their ancient history, their spread throughout the world, and the tastes and traditions they represent. A culinary travelogue and a celebration of a humble, healthful food that inspires devotion among so many, The Olive Route is filled with unusual characters and fascinating anecdotes from “a storyteller of great economy and deftness” (The Telegraph). “Drinkwater has a sharp eye for character, and the people who populate The Olive Route will not disappoint her fans.” —The Independent

  Churches and the Crisis of...

  Congregations often seek to combat the crisis of decline by using innovation to produce new resources. But leading practical theologian Andrew Root shows that the church's crisis is not in the loss of resources; it's in the loss of life—and that life can only return when we remain open to God's encountering presence. 
   
   
   
  This new book, related to Root's critically acclaimed Ministry in a Secular Age project, addresses the practical form the church must take in a secular age. Root uses two stories to frame the book: one about a church whose building becomes a pub and the other about Karl Barth. Root argues that Barth should be understood as a pastor with a deep practical theology that can help church leaders today. 
   
   
   
  This book pushes the church to be a waiting community that recognizes that the only way for it to find life is to stop seeing the church as the star of its own story. Instead of resisting decline, congregations must remain open to divine action. Root offers a rich vision for the church's future that moves away from an obsession with relevance and resources and toward the living God.

  The Future of Technology -...

  Technology has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past century, reshaping the way humans live, work, and connect. From the invention of the telephone and the light bulb to the rise of smartphones and artificial intelligence, the evolution of modern technology has been defined by rapid innovation and constant reinvention. Each era has built upon the breakthroughs of the previous one, creating a chain of progress that continues to accelerate today. 
  The shift from analog to digital marked a major turning point in technological history. Analog systems, such as early telecommunication devices and vinyl records, relied on continuous signals to transmit information. The digital revolution replaced these with binary systems, allowing data to be stored, processed, and transmitted with unprecedented efficiency. This change laid the groundwork for computers, the internet, and countless digital devices that are now part of everyday life. What once required entire rooms of equipment can now be done with the swipe of a finger on a pocket-sized smartphone. 
  Key milestones have shaped the modern technological landscape. The invention of the microprocessor in the 1970s allowed for the development of personal computers, which soon evolved into powerful tools for both work and leisure. The rise of the internet in the 1990s connected people and information across the globe, shrinking the world into a digital village. In the 2000s, mobile technology and wireless networks enabled a level of connectivity that few could have imagined a generation earlier. These advances have made information accessible to billions and created new platforms for communication, education, and commerce.
