James Bridle Livres

A mind-bending exploration of non-human intelligence, and how it holds the keys to our continuing life on earth. What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans - or do we share it with other beings? Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along, unrecognized. These other beings are the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours. In Ways of Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the fascinating, uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we learn from these other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? From Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our definition of these terms to build a meaningful and free relationship with the non-human, one based on solidarity and cognitive diversity. We have so much to learn, and many worlds to gain

From breakfast to lunch and snacks to supper, Sarah Bridle gives the carbon footprint of the food we eat, using very clear diagrams, and looks at how to combat climate change by changing our diet.

How computation makes it more difficult to understand the world: Fully updated and revised

"Originally published in 2022 by Allen Lane, Great Britain, as Ways of being: beyond human intelligence."

As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: the belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world.In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Meanwhile, those in power use our lack of understanding to further their own interests. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we're living in a new Dark Age.From rogue financial systems to shopping algorithms, from artificial intelligence to state secrecy, we no longer understand how our world is governed or presented to us. The media is filled with unverifiable speculation, much of it generated by anonymous software, while companies dominate their employees through surveillance and the threat of automation.In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems, and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.

In diesem Buch untersucht James Bridle die Gefahren moderner Technologien, die oft mehr Vertrauen erhalten als unsere eigenen Sinne. Er beleuchtet das Phänomen des «automation bias» und zeigt, wie technologische Dystopien, wie Klimawandel und Datenüberwachung, unser Leben bedrohen. Ein Aufruf, die Welt neu zu denken.

Co to vůbec znamená být inteligentní? Inteligence byla dlouho považována za výlučně lidskou vlastnost. Avšak vědecké výzkumy, technologický pokrok i posuny ve filozofii v posledních letech ukazují něco jiného. Člověk byl jediným inteligentním tvorem proto, že se definice inteligence odvíjela od jeho ustrojení, zkušeností a prostředí. Pokud však tuto perspektivu rozšíříme a pootočíme, rázem se ocitneme ve světě plném inteligentních stvoření a systémů. Nejde jen o AI, které nám mění realitu před očima, ale rovněž o kooperující zvířata, rostlinné sítě a celá přírodní společenství, která dnes lidskou inteligenci stavějí do úplně jiného světla. Co to znamená pro člověka a lidskou civilizaci? Je možné tyto jiné inteligence a jejich perspektivy zahrnout do lidského myšlení, nebo dokonce politiky? Originální myslitel a umělec James Bridle ve Způsobech bytí neotřelým a pro něj typickým způsobem kombinuje biologii a literaturu, počítačovou vědu a filozofii a hledá cesty, kudy vykročit za hranice lidské inteligence.
