Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s world, where digital technologies are integral to every aspect of our existence, the interplay of technology, digital transformation, and societal dynamics is critically important. This Special Issue titled “Technology, Digital Transformation and Society” aims to scrutinize the complex effects of digital evolution on societal frameworks, individual actions, and the worldwide community. Notably, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the societal matrix offers both groundbreaking prospects and novel challenges. This Special Issue is dedicated to examining the significant influence of digital technologies, including AI, on societal organization, ethical frameworks, individual conduct, and the collective human experience. As AI progresses, it is reshaping what we consider possible, enhancing decision-making, transforming industries, and even shifting the ways we interact and perceive cultural norms.
This Special Issue serves as a forum for multidisciplinary discussions on both the hurdles and prospects that digital transformation, particularly the surge in AI technologies, presents. We seek scholarly contributions that investigate how technological innovations like AI impact social fairness, privacy, ethics, and cultural dynamics. Furthermore, this Special Issue will explore how digital technologies can promote inclusion, sustainability, and adaptability in societies undergoing swift transformations and facing new uncertainties.
Through a mix of empirical studies, theoretical exploration, and case studies, this Special Issue will spotlight groundbreaking practices, implications for policy, and future trends at the intersection of technology, digital change, and societal dynamics. Submissions are welcomed from a diverse range of fields, such as sociology, information technology, political science, education, and cultural studies. Our goal is to foster a holistic understanding of this intricate and evolving domain, encouraging contributions that dissect and envision the role of technology in shaping society.
