Inhaltsangabe

The last decade has seen exponential growth in the development of digital technologies. This has led to significant shifts in the political arena as well as in the economy, precipitating a series of revolutionary changes in the fabric of our societies, which have had far-reaching consequences and effects on the way we relate and connect to each other. Digital Transformation in Artificial Systems: Engineering Requirements and Political, Economic, and Philosophical Challenges focuses on analyzing the engineering requirements as well as the political consequences, overarching the philosophical and ethical implications of this transformation, especially in relation to its application in artificial systems. In this context, the concept of digital transformation (understood as the practice of redefining models, functions, operations, processes, and activities by leveraging technological advancements to build efficient digital environments) has become increasingly important. This book brings together key concepts, ideas, and frameworks related to this idea. It promotes an inclusive and responsible digital transformation capable of addressing the constraints on the global digital divide, deepening cooperation in digitization, industrialization, and innovation, while furthering our understanding of the ethical and moral challenges associated with such a development. The distinctive and most original element of the book is its interdisciplinarity. It will allow readers to gather crucial insights that will be instrumental to better understand the reach of the forthcoming AI revolution, its multidimensionality, and its potential impact on people and society.
