How did Stanford continue to foster growth in Silicon Valley during the early 2000s?

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

The Big Bet

AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Evenhanded and insightful.”&nbsp; —Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) “An accessible, often fascinating primer.... Essential, illuminating reading.” —Kirkus From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Digital Doctor comes an engaging, clear-eyed, and ultimately hopeful examination of healthcare’s efforts to embrace generative artificial intelligence. In A Giant Leap, physician and thought leader Robert Wachter navigates between hype and skepticism to make a compelling case for AI’s power to transform healthcare. He argues that, in a system buckling under the weight of bureaucratic pressures, soaring costs, and clinician burnout, AI doesn’t need to be perfect—it only needs to be better. Drawing on extensive research and more than 100 interviews with pioneers across medicine, technology, policy, and business, Wachter shows how AI is already entering hospitals and clinics to draft notes, field patient questions, recommend treatments, interpret images, and guide surgeries. He unflinchingly confronts risks like hallucinations, biases, and misinformation, while revealing how AI can now match, and sometimes surpass, physicians in areas ranging from diagnosis to empathy. But this isn’t simply a technology story. It’s about the human choices that will determine whether AI becomes healthcare’s salvation or another source of harm and frustration.&nbsp; Blending clinical insight, vivid storytelling, and journalistic precision, A Giant Leap offers an indispensable roadmap for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and patients. It&nbsp;is a vibrant and timely account of how AI is changing what it means to care—and be cared for—in this age of astonishing technology.

Ziel ist es, die Entscheidungslogik von Business Angels nachvollziehbar zu machen, Chancen und Risiken realistisch darzustellen und aufzuzeigen, wie typische Fehler vermieden werden können.In zwölf Kapiteln werden zentrale Aspekte beleuchtet:<ul><li>Rolle und Motivation von Frühphaseninvestoren und Business Angels</li><li>Kennzeichnung, Strukturierung und Segmentierung von Gründern und Gründungen</li><li>Spezialfälle als potenziell lukrative Investitionschancen</li><li>Start-up-Märkte, Mechanismen des Zielgruppenumgangs von „Business-to-Business“ bis „Peer-to-Peer“</li><li>Marktgängige Geschäfts- und Erlösmodelle</li><li>Start-up-Bewertung</li><li>Reise eines Business Angels: von der Auswahl einer Beteiligung bis zum Exit</li><li>Start-up-Ökosystem</li></ul>Basierend auf über zwei Jahrzehnten Erfahrungen eines Gründers und Investors bietet dieses Buch keine Patentrezepte, aber dafür authentische Einblicke und wertvolles Wissen, das keine KI ersetzen kann.Der Autor Julian von Hassell

This Is Where We Live

Toward a deeper understanding of minds, whether natural or artificial, and of how they are studied and built across AI, AGI, and cognitive science. Minds are functional entities that enable intelligent behavior. In On Minds, Paul Rosenbloom offers reflections and perspectives on the study of minds arising from a multi-decade career focused largely on cognitive architectures—hypotheses concerning the fixed structures and processes that yield a mind, whether natural or artificial. Cognitive architectures must be integrative in accommodating the full range of capabilities required of a mind. They must also be general, in applying across many, if not all, problems and domains. This breadth of investigation, across a sequence of three such architectures—XAPS, Soar, and Sigma—and over many years, has inspired a set of reflections on both cognitive architectures and three core disciplines within which such work occurs—artificial intelligence (AI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), and cognitive science. The book’s reflections are of three types. The first explores four concepts critical to understanding minds—architectures, symbols, intelligence, and theories—to provide new perspectives and insights on them. The second rethinks the structure of the space of technologies that underlies work on minds, yielding multidimensional maps that clarify their similarities and differences plus detailed insights into the tradeoffs that exist across both individual technologies and integrated systems—whether symbolic, neural, or hybrid—built from them. The third traces the author’s decades of work on architectures—including cognitive architectures, the Common Model of Cognition, and the nature and structure of computing as a great scientific domain—interwoven with personal reflections and anecdotes.

On Minds

"A COMPELLING HISTORY OF A POWERFUL IDEA" - Jacob Goldstein, author of Money From veteran Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth, an epic history of the debt that built the modern world. Long considered the "boring" corner of finance, bonds are anything but. They are bigger than the stock market and rival even the global banking system in influence. But they are also misunderstood - treated as mere debt, when in fact their impact is radically different. From medieval Venice to modern Wall Street, Robin Wigglesworth uncovers the sweeping, unveiling story of the bond market. With clarity and wit, this is a people's history of finance: rich in drama, full of colourful characters, and bursting with insights. Bonds have funded everything from the Crusades to climate tech, Netflix series to AI data centres. Pooling capital from citizens and merchants at an unmatched scale, they have been the hidden force behind some of humanity's highest achievements and greatest calamities. This isn't just a book about the past. It's a guide to the future of finance, and a love letter to the engine that keeps it running.

'My view is that the future belongs to the minority of businesses that follow this advice.' Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Group As fears of agentic obsolescence abound, organizations are struggling to implement AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work. This unique book introduces a full-stack approach that balances technological capability with human values, ethics and practical applications. AI at Work provides a framework that moves beyond scattered AI experiments toward a coherent strategy that will run throughout your entire company. Rather than focusing on technical capabilities or dystopian warnings, it utilizes a full-stack approach to harness AI's benefits while preserving what matters most - a firm's people, its values and its unique organizational identity. The global AI market is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030, with organizations across sectors racing to implement AI solutions. However, whilst 83% of executives report that AI is a top priority for their organization, only 23% have a comprehensive implementation strategy. This book fills a critical gap between theoretical AI books and technical implementation guides by offering: · A practical framework applicable across industries; · Equal emphasis on technological capability, ethical considerations and real-world applications; · A human-centred approach that addresses concerns about AI replacing workers; and · Case studies and examples from diverse sectors.
