This book stimulates new conversations around the ethical and policy considerations stemming from the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on human relationships within a cross-cultural perspective. With chapters from distinguished scholars from Eastern and Western backgrounds, it delves into the fundamental aspects of human connections and good governance, examining them through the perspectives of both Eastern and Western values, while addressing the implications of AI. While the recognition of AI's substantial challenges to human values and effective governance is widespread, there exists a notable lack of focus on its impact on the essential human relationships that embody these values and encompass human identity within Eastern and Western traditions. By centering attention on this aspect, the book highlights a critical concern for the development of AI that is suitable for the future of human relationships and good governance. Specifically, the book seeks to examine the influence of AI on essential human relationships, such as those between parent and child, spouses, the elderly and the young, physician and patient, as well as relations between friends, citizens, and nations. It is an essential resource relevant to academics in philosophy, applied ethics and bioethics, AI ethics, social and political philosophy.

The first book to offer a cross-cultural perspective on AI and human relations Includes new perspectives on AI and links human relations to a broad range of concerns about good governance Presents cases and empirical studies of the use of AI in specific domains in different cultural contexts
