Subtitled "The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World", this book looks at the way artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing.  New York Times Silicon Valley journalist, Cade Metz, has based this book on hundreds of interviews at those companies. He presents the fierce conflict AI engenders between national interests, shareholder value, the pursuit of scientific knowledge, and the very human concerns about privacy, security, bias, and prejudice.

The BBC micro:bit is capable of taking on a variety of roles including that of a powerful IoT device. In order to gain full access to its features and to external devices, however, you need to use C which delivers the speed which is crucial when you are writing programs to communicate with the outside world. The updated, expanded, 2nd Edition covers the new V2 version of the micro:bit and uses the VS Code for offline development. Writing for the electronics enthusiast with a programming background, Harry Fairhead presents details of sensors and circuits with several complete programs and provides downloadable templates for both V1 and V2 of the micro:bit to help you get started.

Using Machine Learning and Python, this books set out to show how build an AI investing machine that will use AI to monitor the stock market and provide stock picks for the year. The book looks at what value investing is, how to frame the stock selection problem in a quantitative way, and how to use machine learning algorithms on stock market data. Author Damon Lee is careful to point out that this isn't financial advice. Rather, this is an educational book teaching data analysis tools for financial information.
