<span class="x_x_ContentPasted1" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; background: white; color: black;">The accelerated growth of technologies related to the Artificial Intelligence raises considerations that must be rigorously evaluated.
Due to the Media attention or the huge amounts of funding, it is urgent that we begin the public debate on all the issues related to the application of Artificial Intelligence in everyday life. The impact of these technologies will be an intrinsic part of
all aspects of our life: in our home, in our body, in health care, in war, etc. Thus, the relationship between machines and humans seems to be increasingly close, and it can reach to the point of extinction of the purely biological. As AI may be the last human
invention, we should think carefully about all the scientific, political, ethical, legal, and philosophical aspects that surround it. The aim of this collective book is to bring together a diverse group of researchers from diverse perspectives and backgrounds
to discuss the numerous aspects of the existence of an Artificial Intelligence that will regulate our entire life in the near future.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p>
