This book presents advanced research studies on the topic of artificial intelligence as a component of social and economic relations and processes. It gathers research papers from the International Research-to-Practice Conference โThe 21st Century from the Positions of Modern Science: Intellectual, Digital and Innovative Aspectsโ (May 23โ24, 2019, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia) and the International Research-to-Practice Conference โEconomics of Pleasure: a Science of Enjoying Economic Activitiesโ (October 3โ5, 2019, Prague, Czech Republic). Both conferences were organized by the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization โInstitute of Scientific Communicationsโ (Volgograd).
What sets this book apart from other publications on the topic of artificial intelligence is that it approaches AI not as a technological tool, but as an economic entity. Bringing together papers by representatives of various fields of social and human knowledge, it systematically reflects on various economic, social, and legal aspects of the creation, application, and development of artificial intelligence. Given the multidisciplinary nature of its content, the book will appeal to a broad target audience, including those engaged in developing AI (scientific research institutes and universities), and Industry 4.0 enterprises interested in its implementation, as well as state regulators for the digital economy.
