We are on the verge of global changes in existence. In the digital age, we have witnessed the emergence of objects and phenomena that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. The creation and development of artificial intelligence (AI) attracts particular attention from scientists and the general public. Artificial intelligence, which is created by human intelligence, will inevitably surpass its creators in the near future. This situation has brought a number of fundamental questions (understanding of the nature of reality, consciousness, the meaning of existence, etc.) to the fore at a new level, which require study.
Given these circumstances, I came up with the idea of creating a series of monographs entitled Artificial Intelligence in Digital Society, which describe existing AI theories and practices and explore the complex relationship between AI and society.
The monograph is based on the idea of synergy, the increase in the overall efficiency of the “Human-AI System” as a result of their interaction, as well as possible integration and merging.
As the Editor, it was my privilege to oversee the development of the first edition of this monograph. I was particularly interested in chapters that not only highlighted the challenges of digitalisation in society, but also offered specific practical solutions for utilising artificial intelligence capabilities. This monograph considers issues related to researching both the potential and shortcomings of the digitalisation of society. This issue features a variety of chapters that draw on the expertise of artificial intelligence specialists and reflect a wide range of ideas and perspectives.
