Shaping Tomorrow: The Human Journey with AI
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1041040334 | 334 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 9.89 MB
Every major technological regime in human history has reorganised not only how societies produce but how they think, govern, and define what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is no exception. What sets it apart is the speed, scale, and intimacy with which it is penetrating the epistemic and institutional fabric of contemporary life.Shaping Tomorrow:The Human Journey with AIdraws on voices from four continents to confront this transformation at its roots. The volume's intellectual foundation is a sustained editorial argument that situates AI within the longue durée of techno-scientific change, theorising the present moment as the emergence of a new computational civilisation. From this foundation, contributors examine in depth how AI is reshaping education and pedagogy, where questions of critical knowing, personalisation, and the ethics of keeping humans in the loop are explored with particular rigour. Parallel chapters investigate AI's growing role in healthcare, patient welfare, and assistive technologies, while further contributions address algorithmic bias in consumer markets, data privacy governance, and the structural forces driving algorithmic injustice. An interview with philosopher Professor Nick Bostrom adds a distinctive forward-looking perspective on superintelligence and existential risk.What distinguishes this volume is its refusal to settle for either techno-optimism or deterministic alarm. The editors and contributors instead equip readers with the conceptual precision and analytical frameworks needed to engage with AI as a contested space where political economy, technological possibility, and ethical obligation converge. For scholars, postgraduate students, and professionals confronting a world increasingly governed by algorithmic mediation, this book does not merely describe the landscape. It sharpens the capacity to act within it.

The Human Journey with AI
draws on voices from four continents to confront this transformation at its roots. The volume's intellectual foundation is a sustained editorial argument that situates AI within the longue durée of techno-scientific change, theorising the present moment as the emergence of a new computational civilisation. From this foundation, contributors examine in depth how AI is reshaping education and pedagogy, where questions of critical knowing, personalisation, and the ethics of keeping humans in the loop are explored with particular rigour. Parallel chapters investigate AI's growing role in healthcare, patient welfare, and assistive technologies, while further contributions address algorithmic bias in consumer markets, data privacy governance, and the structural forces driving algorithmic injustice.
