"The book seeks to contribute to the social and cultural comprehension of AI, and how it is being assimilated by different disciplines, as well as some of its ethical controversies. The first section will analyse the philosophical and anthropological dimensions of AI, including the foundations of algorithms, social and cultural implications of algorithmic implementations, different social and cultural assumptions of algorithms and AI, AI from an anthropological point of view, and general and philosophical frameworks for AI ethics. The second section considers the point of view of disciplines such as education, medicine, business, and art. It discusses AI as an element of disruption and innovation in particular disciplines. Section three will analyze possible future scenarios for the application of AI, such as Singularity, Industry 4.0 and labor challenges, AI changing lifestyle and wellness, biometrics and Sentiment analysis on AI, psychological implications of AI and robotics, cybersecurity, and AI political threats."--nsions of AI, including the foundations of algorithms, social and cultural implications of algorithmic implementations, different social and cultural assumptions of algorithms and AI, AI from an anthropological point of view, and general and philosophical frameworks for AI ethics.

The philosopher Spinoza once asserted that no one knows what a body can do, conceiving an intrinsic bodily power with unknown limits. Similarly, we can ask ourselves about Artificial Intelligence (AI): To what extent is the development of intelligence limited by its technical and material substrate? In other words, what can AI do? The answer is analogous to Spinoza’s: Nobody knows the limit of AI.
Critically considering this issue from philosophical, interdisciplinary, and engineering perspectives, respectively, this book assesses the scope and pertinence of AI technology and explores how it could bring about both a better and more unpredictable future.
What AI Can Do highlights, at both the theoretical and practical levels, the cross-cutting relevance that AI is having on society, appealing to students of engineering, computer science, and philosophy, as well as all who hold a practical interest in the technology.
