Artificial Intelligence: Beyond Technology, Impact on Society

11 nov 2024

Tokyo

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