INTRODUCTION

The world we live in is increasingly interconnected and features smooth in- teractions between human beings and all sorts of systems and devices which are showing increasing levels of autonomy and intelligence. Thus, Artificial Intelligence ( AI ), robotics and data science are already part of people’s every- day life and are changing people’s working structures, relationships, and learn- ing habits. We understand AI as the ability of a computer or robot to perform tasks usually associated with intelligent beings. In the vision expressed in this book, we include classical and modern approaches to AI, the technologies that come from them and, in general, all kinds of artificially intelligent entities and systems.

Living a life which is mediated by smart technologies poses new and unex- pected social and ethical challenges. For instance, the controversy around the ethical implications of the concept of autonomy in AI has led many experts to demand the banning of autonomous lethal weapons ( aka killer robots ). This banning has received the strong opposition of major players such as China and the US. The United Nations plays an active role in this debate, while the EU amongst other players is figuring out how to position itself within this heated controversy ; in the meanwhile, the scientific community is leaning to- wards a human centred development of AI, a shared position amongst recent- ly funded Research Networks on AI. Ensuring the socially acceptable and eth- ically aligned development of AI is the central priority of the next decade. …
