Sztuczna inteligencja
Luis Sanchez, Enrique Fernandez Perdomo, Anil Mahtani
Building and programming a robot can be cumbersome and time-consuming, but not when you have the right collection of tools, libraries, and more importantly expert collaboration. ROS enables collaborative software development and offers an unmatched simulated environment that simplifies the entire robot building process.This book is packed with hands-on examples that will help you program your robot and give you complete solutions using open source ROS libraries and tools. It also shows you how to use virtual machines and Docker containers to simplify the installation of Ubuntu and the ROS framework, so you can start working in an isolated and control environment without changing your regular computer setup.It starts with the installation and basic concepts, then continues with more complex modules available in ROS such as sensors and actuators integration (drivers), navigation and mapping (so you can create an autonomous mobile robot), manipulation, Computer Vision, perception in 3D with PCL, and more. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to leverage all the ROS Kinetic features to build a fully fledged robot for all your needs.
ElevenLabs. Zastosowanie w biznesie i twórczości

To do mnie przemawia Wśród rozmaitych zastosowań sztucznej inteligencji znajdują się możliwości klonowania i generowania głosu. Obecnie na rynku dostępnych jest kilka narzędzi służących do tych celów ― jedno z nich to wciąż zyskująca na popularności platforma ElevenLabs. Stworzył ją zespół pod przewodnictwem dwóch polskich inżynierów: Piotra Dąbkowskiego, który wcześniej pracował dla Google, i Mateusza Staniszewskiego, byłego stratega wdrażania w Palantir Technologies. Inspiracją do powstania ich firmy ElevenLabs była chęć kreowania bardziej realistycznych dubbingów filmowych. Jeśli chcesz się nauczyć klonować głosy w taki sposób, by były nieodróżnialne od prawdziwych — odpowiednio modulowane, o oczekiwanej barwie i intonacji, przekazujące emocje — ta książka jest dla Ciebie. Obsługa narzędzi do generowania głosów AI nie jest trudna, a dzięki temu poradnikowi opanujesz ją błyskawicznie. Z książki dowiesz się między innymi: Dlaczego spośród dostępnych syntezatorów mowy warto wybrać ElevenLabs Jak szybko stworzyć swój pierwszy głosowy komentarz W jaki sposób promptować, by uzyskać naturalnie brzmiące rezultaty Co o klonowaniu i generowaniu głosów mówi prawo Jak przygotowywać nagrania wysokiej jakości ― w tym na potrzeby radia i w różnych językach Jak generować dialogi, podcasty i audiobooki W jaki sposób można zarabiać dzięki syntezie głosu opartej na AI

Applying Deepfakes will allow you to tackle a wide range of scenarios creatively.Learning from experienced authors will help you to intuitively understand what is going on inside the model. You’ll learn what deepfakes are and what makes them different from other machine learning techniques, and understand the entire process from beginning to end, from finding faces to preparing them, training the model, and performing the final swap.We’ll discuss various uses for face replacement before we begin building our own pipeline. Spending some extra time thinking about how you collect your input data can make a huge difference to the quality of the final video. We look at the importance of this data and guide you with simple concepts to understand what your data needs to really be successful.No discussion of deepfakes can avoid discussing the controversial, unethical uses for which the technology initially became known. We’ll go over some potential issues, and talk about the value that deepfakes can bring to a variety of educational and artistic use cases, from video game avatars to filmmaking.By the end of the book, you’ll understand what deepfakes are, how they work at a fundamental level, and how to apply those techniques to your own needs.

Fizyka na tropie świadomości. Od zjawisk kwantowych przez sieci neuronowe po sztuczną inteligencję
George Musser
Jak się uczy sztuczna inteligencja? Czy może popełniać błędy? Czy kiedykolwiek będzie świadoma? Czym się różni wiersz napisany przez ChatGTP od wiersza, którego autorem jest człowiek? George Musser rozmawia ze znanymi fizykami zajmującymi się najbardziej śmiałymi teoriami i prowadzącymi intrygujące badania. Porusza tematy zjawisk kwantowych, sieci neuronowych, sztucznej inteligencji i, przede wszystkim, świadomości. Szuka tak pożądanej przez naukowców "teorii wszystkiego" wspólnie z najwybitniejszymi umysłami naszej epoki. A to nie takie proste! Fizycy bywają wszak ciekawscy, wścibscy i natrętni. Gdy zasną, śnią im się kolejne pytania, gdy się budzą, zaczynają z zapałem analizować, czy śnili świadomie. Gdy zobaczą kota na kanapie, zamiast zapytać, kto sobie tak słodko śpi, pytają, czy zrozumiałby rachunek różniczkowy. Gdy poprosisz trzech fizyków o wyjaśnienie jednego problemu, otrzymasz cztery różne teorie. Na szczęście, nikt nie potrafi z nimi rozmawiać tak jak wytrawny dziennikarz naukowy George Musser. Dzięki Fizyce na tropie świadomości nauczysz się tego, czego jeszcze nie umie żadna sztuczna inteligencja: umiejętności zadawania krytycznych pytań.
