For a Science-oriented, Socially Responsible, and Self-aware AI: beyond ethical issues

Abstract

Are we ready for the anthropological revolution grounded on Intelligent Technologies and artificial mixed society? Which also is an economic, social, and political revolution. AI is not just building a new technology but a new Socio-Cognitive-Technical System, a new world and a new form of society and culture. It is an anthropological revolution. You are “social engineers”. Is our Intelligent Technology research only business oriented? AI should be more “science oriented”. As for possible dangers of AI impact there is a dominant limited view, focused only on ethical issues, and on Reliable and Transparent and ExplAInable AI. My question is political not just ethical: the AI revolution is empowering whom? AI can play a very important role “for freedom”. It can also be a revolutionary “Awareness technology”. It can improve not only personal and collective intelligence but collective awareness: understanding what we are doing and why we are doing that; who is “nudging” us.
