AI and Society: Tensions and Opportunities
CRC PRESS Taylor & Francis
Call for Chapters
he world is going through a spectacular transformation fueled by artificial intelligence (AI). The impact of AI is felt beyond engineering and computer science in varied domains such as health, business, law, social sciences, disability studies, ethics, to cite a few.
However, critical, equity, and ethical lenses are needed to provide human-centered AI solutions that consider the multitude of ethical and equity challenges arising from the use of AI. Technology use has always yielded unintended consequences including safety challenges. AI is not immune to this rule; in addition, AI algorithms might influence the way we are treated as they learn from past data and are prone to past biases including bias against women and racial bias. Other challenging domains include impact of AI on opinion shaping, democracy, human rights, health, economy, law, human rights, agriculture, education, arts and culture, politics, and the future of earth.
This book creates an intellectual space for researchers to approach the opportunities and tensions raised by the use of AI in society. This transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary book will consist of chapters from leading scholars, practitioners, and policy makers working on different aspects of AI and concerned with AI and impact on society both in terms of opportunities and challenges.
We invite contributors to submit chapters in relation to a wide range of topics including but not limited to:
