Bill Gates Livres

Dans ce livre urgent et faisant autorité, Bill Gates présente un vaste plan, pratique et accessible, sur la manière dont le monde peut parvenir à zéro émission de gaz à effet de serre à temps pour éviter une catastrophe climatique. Bill Gates a passé une décennie à enquêter sur les causes et les effets du changement climatique. Avec l'aide d'experts dans les domaines de la physique, de la chimie, de la biologie, de l'ingénierie, des sciences politiques et de la finance, il s'est interrogé sur ce qui doit être fait pour éviter un désastre environnemental annoncé. Dans ce livre, il explique non seulement pourquoi nous devons travailler à un objectif zéro carbone pour lutter contre l'effet de serre, mais il détaille également ce que nous devons faire pour l'atteindre.

Le monde change. Henry Ford produisait des automobiles, Boeing construisait des avions. Bill Gates, lui, produit de l'intelligence et la met au service de l'humanité tout entière. Aujourd'hui cet enfant prodige, ce "Mozart de l'informatique", est l'homme le plus riche du monde. Si vous voulez apprendre de quelle façon, dans ce XXIème siècle si proche, nous dialoguerons avec les machines qui pensent...

As the income gap between developed and developing nations grows, so grows the cacophony of voices claiming that the quest to find a simple recipe for economic growth has failed. Getting Better , in sharp contrast, reports the good news about global progress. Economist Charles Kenny argues against development naysayers by pointing to the evidence of widespread improvements in health, education, peace, liberty -- and even happiness. Kenny shows how the spread of cheap technologies, such as vaccines and bed nets, and ideas, such as political rights, has transformed the world. He also shows that by understanding this transformation, we can make the world an even better place to live. That's not to say that life is grand for everyone, or that we don't have a long way to go. But improvements have spread far, and, according to Kenny, they can spread even further.

What entrepreneur or founder doesn't aspire to build the next Amazon, Facebook, or Airbnb? Yet those who actually manage to do so are exceedingly rare. So what separates the startups that get disrupted and disappear from the ones who grow to become global giants? The secret is blitzscaling: a set of techniques for scaling up at a dizzying pace that blows competitors out of the water. The objective of Blitzscaling is not to go from zero to one, but from one to one billion as quickly as possible.

THE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AI In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence. As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.

The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over, but even as governments around the world strive to put it behind us, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this?Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and in this book he lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another disaster like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world's foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, he first makes us understand the science of corona diseases. Then he helps us understand how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu.Here is a clarion call - strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.

Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft. He thinks that businesses use computers in the same way we use our nervous system. In this book, he describes his idea of a 'Digital Nervous System' - a way for companies to get as much as possible from all the money they have spent on computers.

As told by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Hit Refresh is the story of corporate change and reinvention as well as the story of Nadella’s personal journey, one that is taking place today inside a storied technology company, and one that is coming in all of our lives as intelligent machines become more ambient and more ubiquitous. It’s about how people, organizations and societies can and must hit refresh—transform—in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, relevance and renewal. At the core, it’s about us humans and our unique qualities, like empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt like never before. As much a humanist as a technologist, Nadella defines his mission and that of the company he leads as empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

Quando si discute di globalizzazione, emergono atteggiamenti contrastanti: da un lato opportunità e crescita, dall'altro oppressione e mercificazione. Questo fenomeno suscita dibattiti tra studiosi e cittadini, generando sia speranze che timori. È davvero nuovo, o rappresenta una sfida rinnovata alla conoscenza e al progresso, simile a rivoluzioni passate? Se non è innovativo, come possiamo garantire che i benefici siano equamente distribuiti tra i popoli? Il mondo si sta espandendo: commerci, relazioni economiche, politiche e culturali si intrecciano, portando con sé valori e aspirazioni. Tuttavia, sorgono interrogativi su cosa non funzioni in questo processo e su cosa debba essere corretto. È giusto fermare l'espansione o continuare a promuoverla? Le lezioni raccolte nella Sala Zuccari di Palazzo Giustiniani affrontano queste tematiche, presentando contributi di figure di spicco come Giovanni Agnelli, Henry Kissinger, Václav Havel, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Bill Gates e Bernard Lewis. Insieme, offrono una prospettiva preziosa e originale sul fenomeno della globalizzazione, esplorando le sue dimensioni economiche, politiche, culturali e storiche.

Hoci pandémia ochorenia COVID-19 ani zďaleka nie je za nami a vlády na celom svete sa stále vyrovnávajú s jej následkami, súbežne riešia otázku, čo bude ďalej. Ako zabránime tomu, aby nejaká iná pandémia nezahubila milióny ľudí a nezdevastovala svetovú ekonomiku? Môžeme dúfať, že sa to podarí? Bill Gates verí v kladnú odpoveď a v tejto knihe jasne a presvedčivo argumentuje, prečo je to možné. Dôvodí, že svet by sa mal poučiť z ochorenia COVID-19 a vysvetľuje, čo každý z nás môže urobiť pre to, aby zažehnal podobnú katastrofu. V prvej časti sa snaží čitateľovi predostrieť vedecký pohľad na infekčné choroby, pričom vychádza zo spoločnej poznatkovej bázy popredných svetových odborníkov, ako aj z vlastných skúseností z boja so smrteľnými chorobami v rámci Nadácie Billa a Melindy Gatesovcov. V ďalších častiach ukazuje, ako môžu národy sveta vďaka vzájomnej spolupráci a v súčinnosti so súkromným sektorom nielenže odvrátiť podobnú pohromu, ale postupne eliminovať všetky respiračné ochorenia vrátane chrípky. Táto kniha predstavuje nesmierne pôsobivý, ucelený a závažný apel z pera jedného z najvýznamnejších a najefektívnejších mysliteľov a aktivistov našej doby.
