Two Useful Theories for Environmental Studies
Two Useful Theories for Environmental StudiesMichael Lehman
油
This document discusses two theories that can be useful for environmental studies: transnationalism and actor-network theory. Transnationalism examines interactions that transcend national boundaries, such as flows of ideas, capital and people between countries. It recognizes that the nation is an ideological construct and the environment does not stop at political borders. Actor-network theory views society as networks of human and non-human actors, treating things like animals, technology, pollution as important actants. It argues that power comes from connections within networks rather than inherent qualities. Both theories emphasize the importance of understanding connections between people and things across geographical and political boundaries for studying environmental issues.Chapter 8 And 9

The document discusses several key issues related to the digital divide:
- It describes how factors like gender, race, income have led to disparities in access to technology over time, with whites and higher-income groups most likely to have internet access.
- It discusses efforts to close this divide by improving access in schools and deregulating the telecommunications industry to provide more universal access.
- It also examines how marginalized groups have used the internet to carve out alternative online spaces of community and resistance against dominant social forces.e-Research and the Demise of the Scholarly Article

The SOCIAM project aims to understand and develop social machines over 5 years with 贈6.15M in funding. Social machines harness human and computational resources to solve problems at scale. The project will explore how to design social computations and curate data to support them, while ensuring privacy, accountability and trust. It will build social machines for health, transport and policing using open data. An observatory will monitor social machines to understand their evolution and impacts. The goal is to understand how to coordinate large numbers of people through social machines to address important problems.Social Innovation Hacktivism

While artificial intelligence (AI) is often referred to in popular culture, in reality AI encompasses a broad range of technologies and applications. Some common examples of AI that are already widely used include search algorithms, personalized recommendations, and computer vision technologies. However, these applications do not necessarily constitute strong or general human-level AI. There is no consensus on how to define AI, and its potential capabilities and limitations are actively debated. Overall, AI is an evolving field with many existing real-world uses today, even if more advanced visions of superintelligence remain hypothetical.BlackmoreSectjhjhfjhfj hjvjhvfjhfvjhfvvnvvbion5.ppt

Bill Joy, the author of the article "Why the Future Doesn't Need Us?", discussed how rapidly advancing technologies like genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR) could pose existential threats to humanity. While acknowledging their benefits, he warned that these complex 21st century technologies may escape human control and could be used to harm or destroy humanity. Critics argue that Joy only showed one side of the issue and that social systems can direct technologies to prevent potential dangers, but many agree that serious discussion is needed between scientists, governments, and businesses to implement necessary safeguards regarding these powerful new technologies.Cognitive Computing and the future of Artificial Intelligence

This document discusses cognitive computing and artificial intelligence. It defines cognitive computing as systems that learn from experience and instructions to mimic human cognition by synthesizing information, finding patterns rather than exact answers, and interacting naturally with humans. Specific examples discussed are IBM's Watson, which uses natural language processing and machine learning to answer questions and make complex decisions from vast amounts of data. The document also discusses concerns about the future risks of artificial intelligence, such as superintelligent systems that humans may not be able to control and could ultimately replace humans.Basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning

It then discusses different approaches to innovation like NARS, AKIS, and agricultural innovation systems. It explains that agricultural innovation systems view knowledge generation as involving diverse actors like farmers, researchers, and policymakers. The chapter also defines a system as interrelated, interdependent components working together towards a common goal. It outlines properties of systems and categorizes systems as natural, social, or artificial. Finally, it contrasts positivist and constructivist scientific paradigms.The Mischievous Robot

Cognitive computing aims to mimic the human brain by understanding natural language, learning from experience, and providing contextualized answers rather than single right answers. Systems like IBM Watson learn from massive amounts of data using techniques like deep question answering. While artificial intelligence research seeks to match human abilities, there is also concern that superintelligent systems may not share human values and could rapidly self-improve beyond human control, potentially threatening humanity.1 Introduction to AI.pptx

Humanism, Transhumanism and Posthumanism
The Humanist and the transhumanist propose different methods for cultivating human capacities. The transhumanists claims that traditional techniques favoured by the humanist run up against the limits of our biology. She believes that prospective technologies could further the humanist cause by improving our nature. However, the transhumanist faces a difficulty. Her policies could produce posthumans. Evaluating posthuman lives might be impossible for us. But discounting them is not an option because she will share responsibility for their creation. I argue that one way through this impasse is for the transhumanist to produce posthumans or to become posthuman.

Webinar: LF Energy GEISA: Addressing edge interoperability at the meterDanBrown980551
油
This webinar will introduce the Grid Edge Security and Interoperability Alliance, or GEISA, an effort within LF Energy to address application interoperability at the very edge of the utility network: meters and other distribution automation devices. Over the last decade platform manufacturers have introduced the ability to run applications on electricity meters and other edge devices. Unfortunately, while many of these efforts have been built on Linux, they havent been interoperable. APIs and execution environment have varied from one manufacturer to the next making it impossible for utilities to obtain applications that they can run across a fleet of different devices. For utilities that want to minimize their supply chain risk by obtaining equipment from multiple suppliers, they are forced to run and maintain multiple separate management systems. Applications available for one device may need to be ported to run on another, or they may not be available at all.
GEISA addresses this by creating a vendor neutral specification for utility edge computing environments.
