How Big Tech is taking advantage of us, how AI is making it worse, and how we can create a thriving, AI-positive world. On balance, will AI help humanity or harm it? AI could revolutionize science, medicine, and technology, and deliver us a world of abundance and better health. Or it could be a disaster, leading to the downfall of democracy, or even our extinction. In Taming Silicon Valley, Gary Marcus, one of the most trusted voices in AI, explains that we still have a choice. And that the decisions we make now about AI will shape our next century. In this short but powerful manifesto, Marcus explains how Big Tech is taking advantage of us, how AI could make things much worse, and, most importantly, what we can do to safeguard our democracy, our society, and our future. Marcus explains the potential—and potential risks—of AI in the clearest possible terms and how Big Tech has effectively captured policymakers. He begins by laying out what is lacking in current AI, what the greatest risks of AI are, and how Big Tech has been playing both the public and the government, before digging into why the US government has thus far been ineffective at reining in Big Tech. He then offers real tools for readers, including eight suggestions for what a coherent AI policy should look like—from data rights to layered AI oversight to meaningful tax reform—and closes with how ordinary citizens can push for what is so desperately needed. Taming Silicon Valley is both a primer on how AI has gotten to its problematic present state and a book of activism in the tradition of Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. It is a deeply important book for our perilous historical moment that every concerned citizen must read.

◎元宇宙、加密貨幣、無人車、區塊鏈，這些熱門話題，誰是獨角獸誰成了泡沫？ ◎新科技從創立到獲利，要花多久時間？微軟1年、蘋果4年，輝達也只用6年。 ◎出現論文佐證，代表該技術有望？很多學術研究只為了提升大學排名和贊助經費。 ◎科技進步沒有想像中快，奈米、量子、核融合，講了至少20年，實際突破了嗎？ 很多新創事業利用大家對新科技的興趣來募資， 其中規模最大的，便是眾所周知的「獨角獸」。 獨角獸是指那些成立不到10年、但估值10億美元以上，又未在股票市場上市的科技創業公司。 別天真的認為每個「新創故事」都會是下一個輝達或亞馬遜，不是每個會發光的，都是金子；不是每個獨角獸都會讓你賺到錢！ 作者傑佛瑞．方克是卡內基美隆博士，目前擔任智庫「發現學院」的顧問，先後在美國、日本、新加坡擔任教授、顧問、工程師，超過45年，曾獲頒日本NTT行動通訊公司行動科學獎。他本來也是熱血科技教徒，卻看過太多新創企業如何透過媒體或論文炒作而爆紅，再化為泡沫。 ◎別痴痴等下去了，這就是泡沫。 數據證實，有實力的獨角獸在10年內就該實現獲利。蘋果只花4年；谷歌、網飛（Netflix）為5年；輝達也只花6年。 如果一家公司老是用「擴張期」來包裝虧損，靠著一輪又一輪融資生存，這就是泡沫。 但有家公司叫亞馬遜，虧了20年才賺錢，又該怎麼解釋？ ◎「科技的可能」未必等於「市場的需求」，誰沖天？誰殞落？ 法拉第未來、Block（前身為Square）、優領思（Udemy），你聽過嗎？ 這些企業都曾是各領域的獨角獸，現在去哪了？ 共享經濟、叫車服務、共享單車、餐飲外送企業，實際上都還在虧損。 這些新創事業很可能是把「技術的可能」誤當成「市場的需求」。 但在這之中，為什麼Airbnb卻成功了？ ◎投資什麼樣的獨角獸才會賺到錢？ ．時機對了，什麼都對。 蘋果手機的爆紅，是因為網路的普及給了它更大發揮的舞臺。如果找不到時機，獨角獸能靠什麼獲利？ ．人工智慧崛起，哪些技術能成為獨角獸？ 醫療照護的應用、無人駕駛的興起，都有獲利的可能，關鍵在於如何創造市場價值。 自動駕駛車輛、送貨無人機、eVTOL、人工智慧……這些獨角獸背後的邏輯是什麼？ 新科技熱門話題，是真商機還是假訊號？ 美日新加坡資歷超過45年，卡內基美隆博士教你如何識別、避開、與充分利用。 名人推薦（依姓名筆畫排序） 好好理財主編／Marra 美股財經評論家／大叔美股筆記 XCEL NEXT創投董事合夥人／胡碩勻 《美股投資學》作者／財女珍妮 亞利桑那州立大學科學與社會名譽教授／丹尼爾．薩雷維茨（Daniel Sarewitz） 《數位達爾文主義》作者／湯姆．古德溫（Tom Goodwin） 《奧美傳奇廣告鬼才破框思考術》作者、英國奧美廣告公司副總監／羅里．薩特蘭（Rory Sutherland）

"From political leaders and human rights activists to rap musicians and NBA basketball stars, this diverse collection of profiles documents the contributions of fifty male and fifty female Muslims to a wide variety of different fields and professions. As an exploration and celebration of what it means to be a Muslim today, it offers a colourful and vibrant counterpoint to the stereotypes of religious fundamentalists and masked suicide bombers that have become all too commonplace in Western representations of Islam." "Notable Muslims is unique among works of a similar nature in its contemporary focus; eighty-five of the one hundred figures profiled are alive today, and many have been interviewed personally by Natana DeLong-Bas for this project. With a complete set of references and web links for every profile, this meticulously researched work will provide an indispensable resource for students and teachers and a rich source of inspiration for all those committed to building bridges of interfaith and intercultural understanding in the modern world."--BOOK JACKET.
