Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. We encounter the idea of intelligence everywhere in our modern lives. Parents are told that their children will grow up smart if they are made to listen to Mozart, play with the right toys, and eat the healthiest foods. Schools plunge everyone into the ruthless world of testing and academic competition. Those who attend the right universities are likely to earn vastly more over their lifetimes than those who found education a struggle. We are told repeatedly that some of the richest and most successful people in society - tech pioneers, CEOs or financial wizards - are rich and successful precisely because they're so smart. And we now have to worry about the impact of artificial intelligence on our jobs, our societies, and the very survival of our species.Intelligence, then, is an idea that infuses our world, and one that we think matters. This hasn't always been the case. Like all ideas, intelligence has a history. Smart draws on science, politics, and popular culture to uncover the stories of the people and projects that built the idea of modern intelligence - the men and women who created Mensa, the priest who built a village for gifted children in the mountains of Sicily, and the plan to boost the intelligence of the Venezuelan people by teaching them lateral thinking skills. Intelligence is not just an idea, but a potentially dangerous one. A fascinating cultural history of intelligence.

Tapa blanda. Etat : New. Descubre cómo la inteligencia se ha convertido en una idea tan poderosa en la sociedad moderna Nos encontramos con la idea de la inteligencia en todos los rincones de nuestra vida moderna. A los padres se les dice que sus hijos crecerán siendo más inteligentes si escuchan piezas de Mozart, juegan con los juguetes adecuados y se alimenta de forma más saludable. Las escuelas y universidades sumergen a todos en el implacable mundo de los exámenes y la competencia académica. Se nos repite una y otra vez que algunas de las personas más ricas y exitosas de la sociedad (pioneros de la tecnología, grandes CEO o genios de las finanzas) lo son precisamente porque son extraordinariamente inteligentes. Y ahora, además, tenemos que preocuparnos por el impacto de la IA en el trabajo, la sociedad y en la propia supervivencia de nuestra especie. La inteligencia, por lo tanto, es una idea que impregna nuestro mundo y a la que atribuimos importancia. Pero no siempre fue así. Como cualquier otra idea, la inteligencia tiene una historia. Este libro se apoya en la historia de la ciencia, la política y la cultura popular para desvelar las historias de las personas y los proyectos que dieron forma a la idea moderna de la inteligencia: los hombres y mujeres que crearon Mensa, el sacerdote que construyó una aldea para niños con altas capacidades en las montañas de Sicilia y el plan para incrementar la inteligencia media del pueblo venezolano enseñándoles técnicas para desarrollar el pensamiento lateral. Estas historias no solo forman parte de la historia, sino que revelan el lado oscuro de la inteligencia, una idea que impulsó la contrarrevolución moderna contra la igualdad. Comprender esta historia no nos hará más listos, pero puede ayudarnos a ser un poco más sabios.…
