What Does It Mean to Be Human in the Age of AI? With all the hype and speculation around artificial intelligence, its most profound effects have yet to be revealed. The bigger question is not just what AI is doing to our jobs but to our soulsour relationships with God and one another.In Godlike Power, Russell Haitch cuts through the noise to tell the story of three core developments: the push to humanize machines, drawing us into emotional bonds with AIs; the drive to mechanize people, rooted in Enlightenment reason and the Industrial Revolution; and how God became human, so that humans could become more like Godand how techno-religion proposes a rival path to divinity. These three stories offer contrasting religious visions. Haitch argues we are now confronted with two rival paths to divinity, and we must choose the right one. Godlike Power argues that the third storythe Christian story of real people becoming like Godoffers the timeless and hopeful vision we need, allowing us to journey into the age of AI on a path that leads to life.AI is the latest chapter in humanitys Promethean quest for godlike power. But it is also a story about our perennial quest for intimacy. Even as AI technology rapidly changes, Haitch argues we need wisdomsomething more than superintelligenceto attain the power and love we long for.With Godlike Power, you can wisely examine AI through a theological lens, enabling you to engage thoughtfully and responsibly with how AI is reshaping our understanding of identity, truth, and what it means to be human.

In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it. Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isnt whether humanity can play god. Its whether we can do it wisely.In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanitys ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future wont be built by those who fear whats coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.Abundance is here. Are you ready?

"SCIENCE+TECHNOLOGY+ARTS: Lessons Learned from a Decade of European Transdisciplinary Innovation" documents and reflects on the legacy of the S+T+ARTS Initiative, a pioneering European program that has, since 2016, redefined the interplay of art, science, and technology as a driver of innovation, cultural transformation, and societal change. By uniting contributions from diverse STARTS stakeholders, the book highlights both the achievements and the lessons of a decade of practice, offering valuable knowledge for policymakers, cultural leaders, educators, innovators, and practitioners seeking to replicate or adapt STARTS models in Europe and beyond. Along with it, the publication brings together a wide variety of exemplary artistic projects and best cases that reveal the richness of the STARTS approach. By looking into these experiences, the book highlights how art-science-technology collaborations create impact across sectors, expand ways of thinking, and demonstrate the lasting value of integrating creativity into Europes innovation ecosystem.

"The Billion Dollar Ring The hardware failure that almost killed Xbox" tells the story of the "Red Ring of Death" (RROD). When Microsoft launched the Xbox 360, it was a hit. But soon, consoles started dying. Three red lights flashed on the front, signaling general hardware failure caused by overheating and brittle solder.Tech journalist David Cooper reveals the internal panic. Failure rates hit 30%. Microsoft faced a choice: Deny the problem and kill the brand, or pay up. executive Peter Moore asked Steve Ballmer for $1.15 billion to extend warranties and fix every console.This book is a case study in crisis management. It shows how owning up to a massive mistake saved the Xbox division, allowing them to survive and eventually thrive, despite shipping a broken product.

"The Accidental Shooter How a team of rookies created the greatest multiplayer game" tells the story of GoldenEye 007. In 1997, licensed movie games were usually terrible. The team at Rare was inexperienced; many had never made a game before.Gaming historian Chris Baker reveals the twist: The famous 4-player split-screen modethe feature that defined a generation of sleepoverswas added secretly by one programmer (Steve Ellis) in the final weeks of development, without Nintendos permission.This book celebrates the creativity of constraints. Because the team didnt know "how things were supposed to be done," they invented objectives, stealth mechanics, and console FPS controls that are still used today. A story of passion over planning.

Em um mundo cada vez mais conectado e automatizado, e com a proliferaço do uso de inteligencia artificial, o bom funcionamento dos dispositivos eletronicos, especialmente os que compem o ecossistema IoT, tornou-se essencial para a segurança, para a produtividade e ate para a sobrevivencia humana. Este livro sugere um modelo conceitual e tecnico que prope o monitoramento da "saude" de dispositivos inteligentes com base na analise multidimensional e temporal de seus parametros eletricos. A analise de dados funcionais por meio da criaço de matrizes multidimensionais sobrepostas permite organizar e monitorar dados como corrente, tenso, potencia, consumo e fator de potencia ao longo do tempo e de formas diferentes. O autor prope uma abordagem para inferir, de forma visual e objetiva, mediante algoritmos, o indice de saude de um dispositivo. O modelo oferece tambem uma representaço grafica comparavel a um "raio X digital", revelando o estado interno do equipamento com base em variaçes sutis de desempenho e desgaste de seus componentes eletronicos. O livro foi dividido em duas partes. Uma delas, a mais ludica, diz respeito a comparaço entre o funcionamento de um corpo humano e um dispositivo inteligente; e a outra sugere um modelo para obter indicadores da saude dos dispositivos. O livro no apenas apresenta a sua teoria de uso das matrizes temporais multidimensionais como traz insights de implementaço, desde a prototipagem ate as aplicaçes futuras em manutenço preditiva, redes autonomas e inteligencia embarcada. Assim, em determinados momentos, vamos nos referir a dispositivos de IoT simplesmente como "o IoT". O objetivo e apresentar caminhos alternativos para que o leitor possa refletir sobre o papel das maquinas no nosso cotidiano e a necessidade de preservar sua integridade em um mundo onde humanos e sistemas automatizados se tornam cada vez mais interdependentes.
