This book provides an examination of cutting-edge research and developments in the field of artificial intelligence. It seeks to extend the view in both technical and societal evaluations to ensure a well-defined balance for societal outcomes. It explores hot topics such as generative artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence in law, education, and climate change.
Artificial Intelligence: Technical and Societal Advancements seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications of AI by giving readers insight into recent advancements. It offers readers a deep dive into the transformative power of AI for the present and future world. As artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize various sectors, the book discusses applications from healthcare to finance and from entertainment to industrial areas. It discusses the technical aspects of intelligent systems and the effects of these aspects on humans. To this point, this book considers technical advancements while discussing the societal pros and cons in terms of human-machine interaction in critical applications. The authors also stress the importance of deriving policies and predictions about how to make future intelligent systems compatible with humans through a necessary level of human management. Finally, this book provides the opinions and views of researchers and experts (from public/private sector) including educators, lawyers, policymakers, managers, and business-related representatives.
The target readers of this book include academicians; researchers; experts; policymakers; educators; and B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. students in the context of target problem fields. It can be used accordingly as a reference source and even supportive material for artificial intelligence-oriented courses.
