Artificial Intelligence and the City: Urbanistic Perspectives on AI
by Matthew Cook Federico Caprotti Simon Marvin Andrew Karvonen Federico Cugurullo Pauline McGuirkThis book explores in theory and practice how artificial intelligence (AI) intersects with and alters the city. Drawing upon a range of urban disciplines and case studies, the chapters reveal the multitude of repercussions that AI is having on urban society, urban infrastructure, urban governance, urban planning and urban sustainability. Contributors also examine how the city, far from being a passive recipient of new technologies, is influencing and reframing AI through subtle processes of co-constitution. The book advances three main contributions and arguments: First, it provides empirical evidence of the emergence of a post-smart trajectory for cities in which new material and decision-making capabilities are being assembled through multiple AIs. Second, it stresses the importance of understanding the mutually constitutive relations between the new experiences enabled by AI technology and the urban context. Third, it engages with the concepts required to clarify the opaque relations that exist between AI and the city, as well as how to make sense of these relations from a theoretical perspective. Artificial Intelligence and the City offers a state-of-the-art analysis and review of AI urbanism, from its roots to its global emergence. It cuts across several disciplines and will be a useful resource for undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of urban studies, urban planning, geography, architecture, urban design, science and technology studies, sociology and politics.

Artificial Intelligence for a Better Future: An Ecosystem Perspective on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital Technologies (SpringerBriefs in Research and Innovation Governance)
by Bernd Carsten StahlThis open access book proposes a novel approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics. AI offers many advantages: better and faster medical diagnoses, improved business processes and efficiency, and the automation of boring work. But undesirable and ethically problematic consequences are possible too: biases and discrimination, breaches of privacy and security, and societal distortions such as unemployment, economic exploitation and weakened democratic processes. There is even a prospect, ultimately, of super-intelligent machines replacing humans. The key question, then, is: how can we benefit from AI while addressing its ethical problems?This book presents an innovative answer to the question by presenting a different perspective on AI and its ethical consequences. Instead of looking at individual AI techniques, applications or ethical issues, we can understand AI as a system of ecosystems, consisting of numerous interdependent technologies, applications and stakeholders. Developing this idea, the book explores how AI ecosystems can be shaped to foster human flourishing. Drawing on rich empirical insights and detailed conceptual analysis, it suggests practical measures to ensure that AI is used to make the world a better place.

Artificial Intelligence in Society: Social, Political and Cultural Implications of a Technological Innovation
by Michael Heinlein Norbert HuchlerArtificial Intelligence (AI) represents a key technology for social change in the 21st century. Numerous technological applications are now in use that are based on machine learning and the associated possibilities for data collection, use and exploitation. By making large amounts of data manageable and hidden patterns and connections visible, AI makes many things faster, easier and more efficient - be it in everyday life, at work or in organizations. However, the question remains open as to what profound and sometimes latent consequences for humans as social beings and social coexistence are associated with the use and development of AI. How is the relationship between people and technology changing through AI and how should this change be assessed? What opportunities and risks do the use and development of AI open up for people and society? What are the limits of change and what design options are available? And last but not least: What and who determines the development paths that AI takes - with what consequences and for whom? Some of the articles in this volume have been automatically translated into English by Springer (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The contributions were then thoroughly revised, corrected and supplemented by the authors. The authors are therefore responsible not only for the content, but also for the linguistic form of the articles. Nevertheless, the text of the book may differ stylistically from a conventional translation.
