The last decade has seen exponential growth in the development of digital technologies. These have led to significant shifts in the political arena as well as in the economy, precipitating a series of revolutionary changes in the fabric of our societies, which have had far reaching consequences and effects on the way we relate and connect to each other. Digital Transformation in Artificial Systems: Engineering Requirements and Political, Economic, and Philosophical Challenges focuses on analyzing the engineering requirements as well as the political consequences and the overarching philosophical and ethical implications of this transformation, especially in relation to its application in Artificial Systems. In this context, the concept of digital transformation (understood as the practice of redefining models, functions, operations, processes, and activities by leveraging technological advancements to build efficient digital environments) has become increasingly important. While many researchers have studied and analyzed this concept from the perspective of their own disciplinary norms or boundaries, this book brings together key concepts, ideas, and frameworks related to this idea and previously developed in isolation (in disciplines such as computer science, engineering, philosophy, economy, and sociology).Digital Transformation in Artificial Systems: Engineering Requirements and Political, Economic, and Philosophical Challenges focuses on analyzing the engineering requirements as well as the political consequences and the overarching philosophical and ethical implications of this notion, especially in relation to its application in Artificial Systems. The authors encourage and promote an inclusive and responsible digital transformation (development) capable of addressing constraints on global digital divide; deepening cooperation in digitization, industrialization, and innovation, while furthering our understanding of the ethical and moral challenges associated with such a development. The distinctive and most original element of the book is its interdisciplinarity. The development of a collaborative, highly interdisciplinary, and synthetic framework for describing digital transformation in artificial systems as discussed by the authors will allow readers to gather crucial insights that will be instrumental to better understand the reach of the forthcoming AI revolution, its multidimensionality, as well as its potential impact on people and society. Such an original and multidisciplinary understanding is of paramount importance for the realization of practical objectives (such as the development of fairer policies) that will ultimately be directed at promoting human flourishing, social harmony, and moral good.
