A diagram illustrating the process of evolution with three stages: variation (A), transmission (B), and selection (C and D). In variation, a single entity produces three different colored books. In transmission, these books are passed between entities. In selection, only certain colored books are chosen, represented by a robot selecting from the books.

A diagram showing a flow between three hexagons on the left and one on the right, illustrating the interplay between "Engineering of AI," "Machine behaviour," and "Scientific study of behaviour" leading to "Study of impact of technology," with arrows indicating the transfer of "New engineering practices," "New quantitative evidence," and "New scientific questions."

A diagram illustrating hybrid human-machine behaviour, showing individual and collective machine behaviour with icons of robots and humans connected by dotted lines and arrows, with data flowing in binary code between them.
