The Humanities and the Rise of AI
Implications of Cultural and Societal Engineering
As AI transforms the way we live, work, and think, this volume brings together key voices from the humanities and social sciences to examine its cultural, political, and epistemological implications. It explores AI's role in reshaping creativity and knowledge, its entanglement with power, data capitalism, and new forms of algorithmic control. Contributors critically assess AI's impact on education, ethics, work, language, and social interaction, highlighting both its utopian promises and dystopian threats.
Beyond the hype of technological progress, this volume unpacks the hidden ideologies and economic structures driving AI development. How is AI redefining our notions of intelligence and creativity? What are the ethical consequences of its widespread use? Can the humanities offer new perspectives on algorithmic culture in an era of surveillance capitalism? Moving beyond superficial discussions of innovation, this book offers essential insights for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the far-reaching implications of AI.
