World Scientific Europe Ltd Practical Philosophy Of Ai-assistants, The: An
Book SynopsisThe Practical Philosophy of AI-Assistants presents a formal conversation between an AI engineer, Peter, and a humanities researcher, Suman. The book ensures that specialist concepts in AI research are made comprehensible to a humanities researcher, while humanities theories can be easily grasped by an AI engineer.The authors establish ground rules to design an AI-Assistant, that is, an AI system that could act as a personal friend, consultant and confidante for every individual, to be integrated into our daily lives. These rules apply to four large areas of AI development: recognition and identification, communication, explanation, and civility.In discussing these areas, this book provides an accessible account of the current state of AI research, as well as adding nuance to the underpinning assumptions informing the relevant technologies, reflecting on their social implications.The broader ideological objective of The Practical Philosophy of AI-Assistants is captured by the phrase 'practical philosophy', which expresses a commitment to bringing AI development to work towards a good life for all.

Institution of Engineering and Technology Medical Equipment Engineering: Design, manufacture and applications
Book SynopsisThe evolution of medical equipment engineering is progressing rapidly, with advances in digital healthcare technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnologies developing at pace. Medical equipment engineering can assist in surveying workplace inefficiencies, and develop efficient optimisation processes, through data research and intelligent learning automation. This edited book covers the benefits of the integration of lean manufacturing, smart sensors, 5G technology, IoTs, virtual reality, 3D printing, robotics and automation. Medical Equipment Engineering: Design, manufacture and applications discusses the technological requirements that bring robots closer to humans in smart equipment manufacturing environments where computer-integrated equipment manufacturing, high levels of adaptability and rapid equipment design changes are successfully integrated with digital information technology, while ensuring that these new processes still protect worker safety. A holistic view of medical equipment engineering will affect many areas, most notably: equipment services and engineering business models, equipment reliability and continuous productivity, machine safety, standards and maintenance, IT security and equipment product lifecycles. Topics such as industry value chain, industry demonstration and technicians and workers' education and skills will also be explored. This book is essential reading for all engineers and designers working in medical equipment manufacturing, and related fields such as AI, virtual reality, smart sensors, 3D printing, robotics and automation.Table of Contents Chapter 1: Medical equipment engineering revolution Chapter 2: Medical device manufacturing Chapter 3: Challenges and impact of medical equipment engineering Chapter 4: Physiotherapy on e-health platforms Chapter 5: Adoption of Building Information Modelling in Malaysia medical facilities building construction Chapter 6: Medical equipment engineering standards for design and risk management of immersive virtual reality for in-clinic and home used Chapter 7: Medical equipment engineering in industrial revolution Chapter 8: Medical equipment engineering in industrial revolution Chapter 9: Ethics, guidelines, and policy for technology in healthcare Chapter 10: Medical equipment engineering and manufacturing standard and policies Chapter 11: Reimagining medical equipment engineering education: does industry 4.0 need education 4.0?
