During the 20th century, technological development has an increasing impact on our lives, with major contributions for the population’s life quality. But, it was also in that century, with the use of technology in the Great Wars and the first signs of exhaustion of the planet, that some scientists began to question the hegemonic belief that human progress would depend almost exclusively on science and technology and that both will always offer rational, desirable and pre-established solutions to human problems. While the dominant technological usefulness contributes to the majority of the population to continue to adopt new technology or apps without any critical reflection on its impact on daily life and in the world in which they live, these questions gain more eco and relevance.
The impacts of technology always depend on goals and objectives for which they are used. For a better understanding of their impact, it is also essential to know the values, the goals and interests at the origin of its creation, the social and historical context in which they emerge and the great trends of the societies in which we live. Human societies have always been marked by social inequalities; the same is happening with contemporary industrial and capitalist societies, whose production system aims primarily at profit. Are there the new “digital artifacts” created to respond to pressing human needs, or do some of them become needs by powerful marketing and search agencies?
In Sec. XXI technological development has had an even more intensive and extensive impact on our lives, with the focus on areas that can not only change the way we live but the human condition itself. We refer to the development in the field of biotechnology, nanotechnology, neurotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI), among others, although the focus of our attention is on AI. This development path has further intensified the debate on the ethical issues of technological development, its social implications and the precautionary principle.
In each application to be developed, how can we benefit from the developments of Artificial Intelligence privileging autonomy, freedom, privacy, democracy, the non-increase of social inequality and discrimination? When the human condition itself is challenged, shouldn’t we subject technological developments to systematic evaluation and public participation?
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• AI & Applications
• AI & social and ethical implications
• AI & Security
• AI & Privacy
• AI & Democracy
• AI and Employment
• AI, Autonomy & Human rights
• AI & Conscience
• Neurotechnology
• Explainable AI
• AI and Technological Assessment
• Future of AI: Risks and opportunities
