Artificial Intelligence Science and Society / Part D: AI Science and the Environment - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

We live in space and time forming our environment. “AI Science and Technology Part D: AI Science and the Environment“ provides a comprehensive, and in depth presentation of the relation between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information Technology (IT) and mother Earth from various perspectives: Life Sciences, (Bioinformatics, Biology, Epidemiology, Animal Intelligence), Environment (Agriculture, Earth Sensing, Meteorology, Climate studies and Geoengineering), man-made constructions (smart cities, autonomous transportation) and natural resources (renewable energy, earth resources, space technologies), to name a few. It heavily debates the impact of AI and IT on each of these domains. It answers many difficult and timely questions, like the following ones:

• Is life due to matter complexity?
• Do animals have intelligence and consciousness?
• Can we create intelligent transplants or artificial organs to cure diseases?
• Can we patch parts of our brain?
• Is climate controllable through Geoengineering?
• What is the future of smart cities and grids?
• Can humanity progress without resorting to energy-intensive technologies?
• Is Space the new wild-West for economic development?

It is the fourth part of the four volume (part) book/encyclopaedia covering all aspects of Artificial Intelligence together with AI Science and Technology (Part A), AI Science, brain, mind, and humans (Part B) and AI and its impact on society (Part C).

About the author: This book is a result of a two-year effort by Prof. Ioannis. Pitas (IEEE fellow, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, EURASIP fellow) and was influenced by his being principal investigator of 75+ R&D projects on Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Digital Media and chairing the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA). Prof. I. Pitas is Director of the Artificial Intelligence and Information Analysis (AIIA) lab at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Greece. He was chair and initiator of the IEEE Autonomous Systems Initiative (ASI). He has (co-)authored 15 books, 45 book chapters and over 950 papers in the above topics. He has 34500+ citations to his work and h-index 87+. He is ranked 319 worldwide and first in Greece in the field of Computer Science (2022).
