Introduction and Topics, Deadlines and Program Committee

1. Introduction and Topics

Today, the democratizing impact of artificial intelligence reveals positive and negative effects stemming from sectors of society that seek to undermine this process. For example, users of interactive systems, as well as designers, programmers, analysts, engineers, and others working on computer systems, find themselves completely defenseless when algorithms are illegally manipulated by individuals who sell themselves to the highest bidder. In other words, when observe that some tiny groups within society, posing as false “champions of users' rights”, attempt to control scientific developments.

An individual analysis of the members of these groups reveals that they were formed in societies that have endured long periods of dictatorship in the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and so on. The vertical educational structures and the management of human capital have not changed over time. A common denominator among those at the top of this management structure has been their involvement with private or religious institutions at some stage of their education.

This is one of the reasons for the interest in the ethical implications of the rise of artificial intelligence, which is forming destructive and global power lobbies, as is generally the case with the latest technological innovations, aimed at the base of the population pyramid. Actually, these groups can act with impunity from within the university sphere, sheltering under the umbrella of university autonomy, gender studies, STEAM –just to cite a few examples–, in democratic countries. When discovered, they refuse to be investigated, citing reasons such as “the good of the university's corporate image.”

A close look at these individuals reveals the presence of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, yet they have managed to maximize their economic gain while minimizing labor costs. These groups have jumped on the bandwagon of artificial intelligence with the aim of increasing their mercantilist power. To this end, constantly they are resorting to terms like emotions, empathy, and ethics.

With the first, “emotions,” they expand into neurological aspects; with the second, “empathy,” they manipulate individual and social communication; and with the third, “ethics,” they present themselves as false champions of universal justice. This manipulation of the triad has been observed in recent decades in the evolution of usability engineering, human-computer interaction, user experience, human-centered design, interaction design and children, gender equality, educational ecosystems, information retrieval, recommender systems, and so on.

Interestingly, the ethical, and often aesthetic, epicenters of those who practice these deviations from the epistemology of science are located in private or religious education, which tend to be above any system of norms or legal structures. So much so that within these university educational contexts, they resort to lawyers to promote anonymity for their illegal actions, such as silencing journalists, censoring content on scientific platforms, threatening editors, and the relentless persecution and professional destruction of other colleagues, among many other criminal acts.

These actions are punishable under criminal law and are worlds apart from freedom of expression, or the rights to human dignity, the veracity of information, and the transparency of public officials' activities, among many others, such as the denigration of journalists, to cite just one example. These fake lawyers not only misuse social media, starting with digital photography, video, podcast, etc., in social networks, but also promote the distortion of reality in exchange for money from their corrupt clients. Therefore, they are invisible sources that daily promote social and academic corruption, among others, and also contribute to the academic failure of future generations interested in new technologies, the modernization of science, and education.

These days, many of these actions remain hidden even with artificial intelligence. Consequently, we are facing an exponential phenomenon where artificial intelligence and all its positive applications take on a negative character when these human and social factors come into play. These negative components will daily undermine the harmonious progress of the democratization of sciences –formal, natural, and factual– whose ultimate goal is the common good of society. While there are many academic spaces where technological advancements in the use of artificial intelligence can be debated and exchanged regularly, in the form of seminars, workshops, symposia, conferences, etc., a significant gap is evident.

That is to say, there is a lack within AI that focuses attention on these human factors, where the Omega generation, through the ‘G’ factor (G = Garduña –Spanish or Gardunia –English) is once again attempting to undermine the democratization process of a new international computing tool. Similar to the democratization of the internet in the 1990s, the communication gap described by Umberto Eco, between the apocalyptic and the integrated, is being exacerbated in AI by these destructive agents and their modus operandi.

Hence, it is the importance of identifying the mechanisms and instruments employed by these destructive forces, through the latest advances in social networks and artificial intelligence. Therefore, in this space, we place the user at the heart of the entire current and future technological context, which relates to the harmonious advancement of the responsible use of artificial intelligence, in contrast to those who, under the guise of a false legality, and the triadic relation between education narcotized, Gardunia factor and Omega generation, are fostering the destruction of the democratization process by resorting to the illegal use of computer algorithms (classical or quantum), whether intelligent or not.

By the way, we note that other associations, institutes, federations, etc., international pioneers in the advancement of computer science, electronics, information processing, and computing machinery, do not have mechanisms in place for the definitive eradication of these dangers for future generations of users. They only have bureaucratic mechanisms, such as filling out forms or email addresses, which not only fail to solve problems but also fail to respond to messages when ethics are conspicuously absent in certain areas that they themselves endorse, whether naively or consciously.

Simultaneously, the hardware and software aspects of artificial intelligence, both current and those of the immediate future, will also be considered and studied in detail in this space. In short, the aim here is unite and examine systemic problems / solutions about the interrelation between the latest developments, trends, and challenges of artificial intelligence in the educational, labor, commercial, and industrial fields, placing the human being and the community at the center.
