Ethics and Social Impacts of AI Digitalization, Law, and Regulation Cybernetics and Technology in Society

Abstract

Global actors and various nations have introduced artificial intelligence (AI) agendas where AI appears as a slippery, politicized phenomenon. In this article, we reveal that AI is mythologized as a benevolent, heroic force shaping nations in accord with political ambitions; that policies communicate utopian beliefs stating AI will transform national concerns favorably; and that technological solutionist expectations present AI as the answer to national challenges.
