Artificial Intelligence: Beyond technology, impact on society

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in contemporary society, generating a multifaceted impact spanning from economics to culture. In an increasingly digitalized world, AI has been integrated into a variety of sectors, from healthcare to entertainment, redefining the way we interact, work and relate. However, along with its promises of efficiency and convenience, AI also presents a number of ethical, social and economic challenges that require careful reflection and informed debate. Against this backdrop, we will explore the current impact of artificial intelligence on society and its implications for the future.
