Rigged Money - Beating Wall...

Lee Munson

Lee Munsons Rigged Money details the truth about Wall  Street, making no apologies, while also arming todays  investor with simple, smart, and clear advice to even the playing  field between Wall Street and Main Street. Wall Street purposely  keeps Main Street in the dark about the new rules of the game:     Risk Isnt Constant: Different asset classes, even  equities and bonds, overlap when it comes to risk and  volatility.  Strategies Are Key: Implementing an arsenal of trading  strategies is what gets results, not the securities  themselves.  Buy and Hold is Dead: The financial world (and all the  companies and securities in it) moves too quickly and is changing  too often for this theory to hold true today.  Gold is a Bubble About to Burst: Gold is todays currency  of fear. And this fear  driven by media and talk show hosts   has created yet another bubble that is bound to burst.    Munson details this and so much more in Rigged Money,  providing prescriptive advice to investors on what Wall Street is  doing behind their backs and how they can use the same techniques  and knowledge to beat the professionals at their own game.

The AI Dilemma - 7 Principles...

Juliette Powell, Art Kleiner,...

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.

Relationship-Rich Education -...

Leo M. Lambert, Peter Felten

A mentor, advisor, or even a friend? Making connections in college makes all the difference. 
 
 
 
What single factor makes for an excellent college education? As it turns out, it's pretty simple: human relationships. Decades of research demonstrate the transformative potential and the lasting legacies of a relationship-rich college experience. Critics suggest that to build connections with peers, faculty, staff, and other mentors is expensive and only an option at elite institutions where instructors have the luxury of time with students. But in this revelatory book brimming with the voices of students, faculty, and staff from across the country, Peter Felten and Leo M. Lambert argue that relationship-rich environments can and should exist for all students at all types of institutions. 
 
 
 
In Relationship-Rich Education, Felten and Lambert demonstrate that, for relationships to be central in undergraduate education, colleges and universities do not require immense resources, privileged students, or specially qualified faculty and staff. All students learn best in an environment characterized by high expectation and high support, and all faculty and staff can learn to teach and work in ways that enable relationship-based education.
