SUMMARY:Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted many industries around the world—banking and finance\, pharmaceuticals\, automotive\, medical technology\, manufacturing and retail. But it has only just begun its odyssey toward cheaper\, better and faster predictions that drive strategic business decisions. When prediction is taken to the max\, industries transform\, and with such transformation comes disruption. What is at the root of this? In their bestselling first book\, Prediction Machines\, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal\, Joshua Gans and Avi Goldfarb explained the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now\, in Power and Prediction\, they go deeper\, examining the most basic unit of analysis: the decision. The authors explain that the two key decision-making ingredients are prediction and judgment\, and we perform both together in our minds\, often without realizing it. The rise of AI is shifting prediction from humans to machines\, relieving people from this cognitive load while increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions.

SUMMARY:South Bronx Rising: The Rise\, Fall\, and Resurrection of an American City
DESCRIPTION:Livestreamed. Thirty-five years after this landmark of urban history – originally titled We’re Still Here in a 1986 first edition – Jill Jonnes continues to chronicle the rise\, fall\, rebirth\, and ongoing revival of the South Bronx. The once-thriving New York City borough\, ravaged in the 1970s and ’80s by disinvestment and fires\, then heroically revived and rebuilt in the 1990s by community activists\, has been Jonnes’s subject in three editions\, expanding the first South Bronx Rising (2000) in 2022. Though now globally renowned as the birthplace of hip-hop\, the South Bronx remains America’s poorest urban congressional district. In this new edition\, Jonnes describes the present generation of activists who are transforming their communities with the arts and greening\, notably the restoration of the Bronx River. For better or worse\, real estate investors have noticed\, setting off new gentrification struggles.
