The special issue of c't KI-Praxis provides tests and practical instructions for working with chatbots. It explains why language models make mistakes and how they can be minimised. This not only helps when you send questions and orders to one of the chatbots offered online. If you do not want to or are not allowed to use the cloud services for data protection reasons, for example, you can also set up your own voice AI. The c't editorial team explains where to find a suitable voice model, how to host it locally and which service providers can host it. The fact that generative AI is becoming increasingly productive harbours both opportunities and risks. Suitable rules for the use of AI in schools, training and at work help to exploit opportunities and minimise risks.

This volume tackles a quickly-evolving field of inquiry, mapping the existing discourse as part of a general attempt to place current developments in historical context; at the same time, breaking new ground in taking on novel subjects and pursuing fresh approaches. The term "A.I." is used to refer to a broad range of phenomena, from machine learning and data mining to artificial general intelligence. The recent advent of more sophisticated AI systems, which function with partial or full autonomy and are capable of tasks which require learning and 'intelligence', presents difficult ethical questions, and has drawn concerns from many quarters about individual and societal welfare, democratic decision-making, moral agency, and the prevention of harm. This work ranges from explorations of normative constraints on specific applications of machine learning algorithms today-in everyday medical practice, for instance-to reflections on the (potential) status of AI as a form of consciousness with attendant rights and duties and, more generally still, on the conceptual terms and frameworks necessarily to understand tasks requiring intelligence, whether "human" or "A.I."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare is more than a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence as a tool in the generation and analysis of healthcare data. The book is split into two sections where the first section describes the current healthcare challenges and the rise of AI in this arena. The ten following chapters are written by specialists in each area, covering the whole healthcare ecosystem. First, the AI applications in drug design and drug development are presented followed by its applications in the field of cancer diagnostics, treatment and medical imaging. Subsequently, the application of AI in medical devices and surgery are covered as well as remote patient monitoring. Finally, the book dives into the topics of security, privacy, information sharing, health insurances and legal aspects of AI in healthcare. - Highlights different data techniques in healthcare data analysis, including machine learning and data mining - Illustrates different applications and challenges across the design, implementation and management of intelligent systems and healthcare data networks - Includes applications and case studies across all areas of AI in healthcare data

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the First International Conference, AIGC 2023, held in Shanghai, China, during August 25–26, 2023 The 30 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The volume focuses on the remarkable strides that have been made in the realm of artificial intelligence and its transformative impact on content creation. As delving into the content of the proceedings, the readers will encounter cutting-edge research findings, innovative applications, and thought-provoking insights that underscore the transformative potential of AI-generated content.

This book provides an overview of current and potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) for cardiothoracic imaging. Most AI systems used in medical imaging are data-driven and based on supervised machine learning. Clinicians and AI specialists can contribute to the development of an AI system in different ways, focusing on their respective strengths. Unfortunately, communication between these two sides is far from fluent and, from time to time, they speak completely different languages. Mutual understanding and collaboration are imperative because the medical system is based on physicians’ ability to take well-informed decisions and convey their reasoning to colleagues and patients. This book offers unique insights and informative chapters on the use of AI for cardiothoracic imaging from both the technical and clinical perspective. It is also a single comprehensive source that provides a complete overview of the entire process of the development and use of AI in clinical practice for cardiothoracic imaging. The book contains chapters focused on cardiac and thoracic applications as well more general topics on the potentials and pitfalls of AI in medical imaging. Separate chapters will discuss the valorization, regulations surrounding AI, cost-effectiveness, and future perspective for different countries and continents. This book is an ideal guide for clinicians (radiologists, cardiologists etc.) interested in working with AI, whether in a research setting developing new AI applications or in a clinical setting using AI algorithms in clinical practice. The book also provides clinical insights and overviews for AI specialists who want to develop clinically relevant AI applications.

The c't Know-how 2024 special issue offers in-depth knowledge on IT topics. It examines long-standing IT myths for their accuracy, such as whether changing passwords regularly actually enhances security. The editorial team explains the workings of AI models and their potential beyond automated text and image generation.AI image generating tools sometimes deliver unexpected results and eavesdropping cars may enhance road safety in the future. The special issue also provides answers to unexpected questions - such as how to decrypt a QR code, mathematical methods that may not have been taught by your math teacher, and how to crack an encryption that has challenged scientists for 300 years.
