The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). An implementation and compliance guide
IT Governance Publishing, Preston Bukaty
This comprehensive guide to the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) explores its impact on businesses and consumers within California. The book begins with a clear explanation of CPRA’s territorial and material jurisdiction, providing readers with an understanding of where and how the law applies. It delves into key definitions critical for businesses and individuals alike, covering terms such as personal information, pseudonymization, and consumer rights. One of the focal points of the book is the examination of the rights granted to consumers, including the right to access, delete, and opt-out of data sales. Alongside this, it addresses the business obligations, such as the need for privacy notices and compliance with security requirements. The book also offers an analysis of penalties for non-compliance and breach notification procedures, making it an essential resource for understanding the legal landscape of consumer privacy in California.

In a world dominated by data and correlations, making good decisions requires understanding what truly causes what. The Causal Mindset Handbook is a clear, non-technical guide to causal reasoning and causal inference, designed to help readers think more clearly about cause and effect. Rather than focusing on complex statistics, the book introduces intuitive concepts and visual tools, such as causal graphs and counterfactual thinking, to evaluate claims, measure impact, and avoid common reasoning traps. Readers learn how causal inference differs from predictive models, and why correlation alone is not enough for sound decision-making. Drawing on real-world case studies from business, policy, and everyday life, the book shows how causal thinking works when perfect experiments are not possible. Designed for managers, analysts, policymakers, and curious professionals, it combines hands-on exercises with access to an interactive companion app, enabling readers to practice evidence-based decision-making with confidence.Foreword by Pr. Karim R. Lakhani, Harvard Business School, Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard, Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard.

The Challenge to AI. The Future of AGI: Bridging Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence
Mercury Learning and Information, Stephen Robbins
This book invites readers to explore where AI, consciousness, and human cognition intersect. It challenges existing notions in AI and cognitive science by arguing that true intelligence lies not in software but in the brain's complex biochemical system, far removed from current AI architectures. Through examining time, perception, language, and thought, the book presents a compelling case for the indispensability of biology and consciousness in cognition, highlighting the profound differences between man and machine.The journey begins with an introduction to AGI and the brain's resonance, moving through philosophical perspectives on perception and the external world. Readers will delve into the biochemical basis of cognition, exploring implicit and explicit memory, conscious cognition, voluntary actions, and the unique aspects of human speech and generative AI. The book culminates with discussions on affect, space, time, and the requirements for creating a conscious device.Understanding these concepts is crucial for advancing AI and cognitive science. This book transitions readers from conventional views to a new framework that integrates biology and consciousness, blending theory with profound insights. It is an essential resource for those seeking to understand the true nature of intelligence and the future of AI.

The Clojure Workshop is a step-by-step guide to Clojure and ClojureScript, designed to quickly get you up and running as a confident, knowledgeable developer. Because of the functional nature of the language, Clojure programming is quite different to what many developers will have experienced. As hosted languages, Clojure and ClojureScript can also be daunting for newcomers because of complexities in the tooling and the challenge of interacting with the host platforms. To help you overcome these barriers, this book adopts a practical approach. Every chapter is centered around building something.As you progress through the book, you will progressively develop the 'muscle memory' that will make you a productive Clojure programmer, and help you see the world through the concepts of functional programming. You will also gain familiarity with common idioms and patterns, as well as exposure to some of the most widely used libraries. Unlike many Clojure books, this Workshop will include significant coverage of both Clojure and ClojureScript. This makes it useful no matter your goal or preferred platform, and provides a fresh perspective on the hosted nature of the language.By the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively tackle your own ambitious projects with Clojure and ClojureScript.
