The designers, engineers, and computer scientists we teach today will shape the systems of tomorrow–we need to teach them to center justice, not just solve problems.

When AI algorithms fail or deviate from their intended outcomes, resulting in negative impacts on society, they themselves cannot be held accountable since they are not moral agents. Although engineers may not be the sole owners of a language model, their involvement in the chain of operation requires a sense of collaborative accountability.

Calling something intelligent, even artificially intelligent, ever so subtly implies that it is more than just a thing, more than a tool. And yet, that is precisely what AI is: a tool, a thing.

The question is no longer whether children will hear from AI because they already do; the real question is whether what they hear will be framed with care, context, and human intention, or left to the indifferent fluency of an algorithm optimized for prediction, not truth.

The notion that AI, however defined, is a new thing, acting upon us, requesting that we obey its dictates, raises immediate contradictions with the concept of self-governance and human agency, which are the cornerstone of the Enlightenment ideal of humans harnessing rationality and ethics for a common good.

AI firms have harnessed vast amounts of capital from other technology companies, and they have used it to create a hugely disruptive technology.

The rapid convergence of emerging digital technologies is reshaping the concept and implementation of Smart Cities. This work presents a comprehensive overview of how Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twins (DT), Extended Reality (XR), and the Metaverse collectively enable a new paradigm for urban transformation.

If we outsource decision-making to AI and spend all our time chatting with chatbots rather than with fellow humans, we are unlikely to develop the civic skills that we need for coordinated collective action.
