Communication and artificial intelligence (AI) are closely related. It is communication – particularly interpersonal conversational interaction – that provides AI with its defining test case and experimental evidence. Likewise, recent developments in AI introduce new challenges and opportunities for communication studies. Technologies such as machine translation of human languages, spoken dialogue systems like Siri, algorithms capable of producing publishable journalistic content, and social robots are all designed to communicate with users in a human-like way. This timely and original textbook provides educators and students with a much-needed resource, connecting the dots between the science of AI and the discipline of communication studies. Clearly outlining the topic's scope, content and future, the text introduces key issues and debates, highlighting the importance and relevance of AI to communication studies. In lively and accessible prose, David Gunkel provides a new generation with the information, knowledge, and skills necessary to working and living in a world where social interaction is no longer restricted to humans. The first work of its kind, An Introduction to Communication and Artificial Intelligence is the go-to textbook for students and scholars getting to grips with this crucial interdisciplinary topic.

Artificial Intelligence is a significant development in the technological landscape, and it is poised to be a veritable game-changer for all concerned. Given globalization and the winner-take-all market dynamics, there is a “superstar” effect at play in most markets, where a select few companies capture a lion’s share of the market, as well as the profit. Given this environment, Analytics goes from becoming a “good to have” to a “must have” if organizations are to take this opportunity to leverage the power of artificial intelligence and other adjacent technologies in an impactful manner. In this book, Priyo Chatterjee, drawing on his years of experience in the Analytics and Data Science space, takes a methodical approach to Analytics by first demonstrating why it has become so critical in “The Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Then he shows how companies can become more Analytical and, thereby, successful in deploying artificial intelligence strategies.

More time in nature not only makes us feel better, it also enhances our quality of life and contributes to a healthier and longer life. It's the natural advantage! Busy lives mean it's harder than ever to find the space to do those things that help you enjoy a greater quality of life. This has led to what is called a 'nature deficit'. We are so hooked up to our work, our technology and the demands placed on us in our daily lives that we no longer have the time or the energy to indulge in those activities that take us away from all our stresses and concerns to relax, restore our sense of wellbeing and connect to what matters the most. This book will appeal to the reader who recognises or remembers that time in nature is helpful but is wondering how to find the time other than by disappearing on a month-long hike into the wilderness. It has been written for the busy professional juggling multiple items on their agenda, who is feeling overwhelmed and super stressed, and wishing they had even five minutes to get outside and engage in those activities they remember provide them with joy and peace. Engaging in nature-based activities is a powerful tool to create happier, healthier lives.
