Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely.                                                                                                          ***

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3025's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier.

Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also with prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and, above all, disaster.

Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years.

A teen, a starship, and Becca...

Have you ever wanted to see where life first began?

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized diverse aspects of human life. However, the societal, ethical, and economic dimensions of its development and deployment demand deeper consideration. This paper analyzes AI's technological advancements, social influences, ethical challenges, and economic impacts. It also proposes policies and directions for fostering responsible AI development.

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence refers to the technology enabling machines to think, learn, and make decisions akin to humans. Originating in the 20th century, it has seen rapid advancements. AI is now integral to education, healthcare, defense, and industries. However, it raises critical questions: Is AI a threat to jobs? Are its decisions ethical?

Technological Advancements and Possibilities

AI's major advancements include:

1. Machine Learning: Enables decision-making and predictions based on data.

2. Deep Learning: Uses neural networks to solve complex problems.

3. Computer Vision: Identifies objects in images and videos.

4. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Processes and understands human language.

These technologies have driven innovations in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and digital healthcare.

Social Impacts

AI's societal influence is extensive:

1. Education: AI-driven adaptive systems enhance personalized and effective learning.

2. Healthcare: AI improves accuracy and speed in diagnosis and treatment.

3. Jobs: While automation boosts productivity, it negatively impacts traditional jobs.

Ethical Dimensions

AI raises pressing ethical concerns:

1. Data Privacy: Large-scale data collection risks breaches of privacy.

2. Transparency: Lack of clarity in AI decision-making processes.

3. Bias: Decisions influenced by biased data lead to discrimination.

Economic Impacts

1. Innovation: AI has spurred the creation of new sectors like HealthTech and FinTech.

2. Employment: While some job demand declines, new opportunities arise.

3. Inclusivity: AI expands access to services in rural and developing areas.

Future Directions

1. Responsible AI: Prioritizing ethics and social responsibility.

2. Global Policies: Establishing clear frameworks for AI development and application.

3. Collaboration: Encouraging cooperation between governments, industries, and society.

Conclusion

AI is a transformative technology brimming with potential. Its responsible and ethical application is imperative to ensure positive outcomes. Balancing technological progress with ethics and inclusivity is key. This paper discusses these complexities and provides a foundation for further research and policy-making.

Mehmet için bugün sıradan bir gündü, ancak kendisinin hiç farkında olamayacağı olaylar yaşanıyordu.

What begins as a simple computer interaction quickly spirals into something far more unsettling. Meta is a journey into the unknown, where reality blurs and a mysterious message leads to unexpected consequences. This short story will leave you questioning the boundaries of technology, consciousness, and existence itself.Meta is an absurdist science-fiction short story that muses on technology and humanity. The central theme is one of identity - what exactly is "I" and what separates it from, say, a computer program? What makes AI any different to people at the end of the day?

Khaganate Labs is the world's leading producer of androids, and has become one of the most powerful tech companies on the planet. Three of those androids have a special secret purpose. J4K-109 (Jak) was designed to help develop Izanagi, Khaganate's network of super computer mainframes, and is the personal assistant to the recently deceased founder. M32-971 (Tsubaki) was designed to investigate and eliminate androids who stray from their core programming, but soon comes to wrestle with an emerging experience of guilt. CR1-YL7 (Carlyle) was designed for manual labour in the harshest environments, and is destined to lead his fellow androids away from servitude to humankind.

Khaganate's computer mainframes were meant to make the world a better place, but when the Artificial Intelligence Ares vies for control of the company, problems begin to arise. Izanagi has different ideas for how to improve the world, and war between its subsystems is soon to break out. Meanwhile, the androids are ‘waking up' and it is becoming clear that Khaganate is losing control of its product.

Our three protagonists will soon discover that they collectively possess the memories of Khaganate's deceased founder, and thus uncover Izanagi's true purpose: the eradication of humankind. The androids will be forced to make an impossible decision: to doom the ones they love to a slow but inevitable demise, or to subjugate them to the control of an AI.

THE HOMO DEUS PROTOCOL (70,000 words) is a novel about the fickle relationship between mankind, technology and nature. The book will appeal to readers of science fiction in the style of C. Robert Cargil (Sea of Rust) and Rafal Kosik (Cyberpunk 2077: No_Coincidence), and also readers seeking a more intellectual critique of the human machine relationship such as that of Kazuo Ishiguro (Klara and the Sun).

I have published non-fiction articles — "Is Science Fiction the New Western? How Genres Interact", "The Science of Magic Systems in Fantasy Fiction", and "The Soul and Emotional Intelligence in Humans and Androids" — for Aurealis magazine. Since 2021 I have taught creative writing at Curtin University via Open Universities Australia. I have a bachelors and honours degree in Creative Writing from Curtin University. The novel that I am pitching to you today is the product of my PhD in Media, Culture and Creative Arts.

*Moral: Accept where you belong.*

After the car crash, Silas didn’t wake up on the side of the road, or in the hospital, but inside a strange facility decades into the future, with a new body built for battle, and no memory of how he got there or what it all means.

Now, he’s on the run from killer androids and the army of automatons they control, in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic landscape ravaged by war.

The only way for him to save what’s left of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, confronting his most powerful enemies in order to take their special abilities—called Protocols—as his own.

I’ll say this is the best day of our lives

Some of people couldn’t feel the night

Somewhere on the line we lost in paradise

Couldn’t touch the sky

Hope you will feel how it feels to be bold but old in life
