Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is undergoing rapid advancements, significantly influencing various industries and fundamentally altering human interaction with technology. The scientific community recognizes AI's transformative potential, particularly in autonomous systems, digital transformation, and intelligent automation domains. This Special Issue, "AI-Powered Horizons: Shaping Our Future World", is dedicated to exploring AI's critical roles in shaping our future, addressing its groundbreaking applications and the profound ethical considerations it raises.
The primary aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive examination of how AI is revolutionizing fields such as healthcare, urban development, and human–machine interaction. By focusing on AI-enabled manned and unmanned teaming, intelligent automation, and the development of smart cities, this issue aligns with the journal's broader scope of exploring technological innovations that drive societal progress. As we near the concept of technological singularity, where AI may surpass human intelligence, this issue also emphasizes the urgent need for developing robust ethical frameworks to guide AI's integration into critical areas of our lives.
Suggested themes for this issue include the development and impact of autonomous systems, the ethical challenges of AI in healthcare, the role of AI in fostering smart cities, and the implications of human–machine interaction in a digitally transformed world. Through these themes, this issue aims to provide insights into how AI is reshaping industries and shaping the future of human society.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Autonomous Systems;
- AI Enabled Manned and Unmanned Teaming;
- Digital Transformation;
- AI-enabled Digital Twins;
- Intelligent Automation;
- Human–Machine Interaction;
- Smart Cities;
- AI Ethics;
- AI in Healthcare;
- Technological Singularity.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
