About this ebook

In Digital Environments and Human Ecology: New Perspectives on AI Issues, editors and contributors embark on a multidisciplinary exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscapes of human interactions, societal structures, and individual and collective psychologies. Discussing if and to what extent the digital environment can be considered an extension of our environment, this book investigates the profound implications of AI's integration into our daily life, emphasizing the need for a harmonious coexistence between technological advancements and human-centric values, stressing the importance of sustainability in digital development and, therefore, a renewed Human Ecology. By weaving together insights from computer science, social sciences, philosophy, and environmental studies, this book offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between humans and technology. It serves as a vital resource for policymakers, technologists, scholars, and anyone interested in the ethical and ecological implications of digital technologies in our lives.
