Klappentext

This volume examines one of the defining tensions of our era: how to harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence while preserving responsibility, sovereignty, and human judgement. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this volume moves beyond hype and alarmism to explore AI across three interconnected levels: global systems, organisational governance, and personal ethics. It addresses digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, sustainability, inclusion, healthcare, education, and accessibility, highlighting both the environmental and social costs of AI and its potential to advance innovation within the Sustainable Development Goals. Rather than offering easy solutions, the book advocates embracing technological possibility while insisting on transparency, accountability, and public values. At stake is not only how AI functions, but how it reshapes institutions, knowledge, and everyday life. Balancing lightness with weight, this book invites readers to reflect critically on progress, power, and responsibility in the age of intelligent machines.
