By: James Mattingly, Beba CibralicAn engaging exploration of agency that provides students with the critical tools needed to understand and participate in debates about future machines.
The great promise of artificial intelligence’s evolution lives alongside an equally great anxiety. As we develop increasingly autonomous machines that do things in the world, questions about agency—distinguishing machines that can act from those that cannot—are among the thorniest we face. A concise and probing exploration of agency, this accessible textbook provides the critical, technical, and conceptual tools needed to make sense of rapid changes in what machines can do and their role in our lives.
James Mattingly and Beba Cibralic begin with an examination of foundational issues: What is agency? How does it differ from mindedness, consciousness, and intelligence? Can we attribute agency to certain machines, and if so, how and why? They then examine the social and ethical implications of building ever more complex machines, including those concerning moral status and responsibility. Drawing together ideas from philosophy and computer science as well as from information theory, literature, and the history of science, Machine Agency invites students to participate thoughtfully in critical debates about future machines.
• Provides a roadmap for interrogating the concept of machine agency suitable for philosophy majors and non-majors alike
• Investigates the connections between developments in AI and pressing issues in analytic philosophy
• Explores the social and ethical impacts of computational systems with agency
Features robust end-of-chapter exercises

Total Glow in the dark entertainment
Color: Glow in the dark - L
This toy is my Aussie Shepherd’s favorite. It is durable. I love that in addition to playing fetch, the tabs make it possible for my dog to swing it from his own mouth and throw it in the air. The glow-in-the-dark feature is amazing! I throw the ball in the pitch black yard and watch it run back at me as my dog comes towards me. It's fun to watch!

Straps don’t last
Color: Glow in the dark - L, Color: Glow in the dark - L
My boyfriend’s dog chewed off all the straps in the first day. Decent ball, but why have straps that dogs can chew off so fast.

Fine choice for smaller dogs
Color: Green-M
A good choice for smaller dogs. My mini poodle enjoys flipping this around and playing tug of war with her humans. She cannot be left with it for any unsupervised play, because she was able to begin shredding one of the straps in a matter of a few minutes. The included pump works great.

Toeless wonders. Love em!
Color: Classic Color
Not gonna lie. These are a God sent when you have an issue with your toes. I hate my toes feeling constricted so these are phenomenal! Comfortable and well worth the money. I also like my socks thin. If you wear boots or hightops, these might not be what your looking for. I do adore the different shades and you can wear them one way or the other as one side is longer. If worn one way, they are higher up the ankle and vice versa.
