[Commlist] Call for chapter proposals. Edited volume “Ethical and legal dilemmas of Artificial Intelligence in Latin America”

*Call for chapter proposals. Edited volume “Ethical and legal dilemmas
of Artificial Intelligence in Latin America” for Palgrave Macmillan's
Global Ethics Series.*
David Ramírez Plascencia (Universidad de Guadalajara, México) and Rosa
María Alonzo González (Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, México)
invite abstracts for the edited collection “Ethical and Legal Dilemmas
of Artificial Intelligence in Latin America”, which will be submitted to
Palgrave Macmillan. The editorial has already expressed great interest
in the project.
In 2024, due to the global popularization of applications such as
ChatGPT, there has been a renewed interest about Artificial Intelligence
on considering its potentials, not only for commercial and entertainment
activities, but in the financial, scientific, and belligerent sectors.
ChatGPT’s capacities have reinvigorated the excitement for developing AI
systems and apps that are able to emulate the human capacity of
acquiring and applying knowledge. However, along with the enthusiasm,
there are worries and deliberations: the use of AI to cheat at school,
ethical dilemmas regarding the employment of automatized weapons at
battlefields, privacy and security threats related with the companies
that develop digital media apps, and the potential risks leaving the
financing and defense systems under control AI systems.
The main goal of this volume is to analyze, from a critical and
comparative approach, the potential benefits of using artificial
intelligence to surpass traditional social and economic problems in
Latin America, but to understand, at the same time, the perils and
potential barriers derived from the adoption of this technology. Such as
the lack of proper legal frameworks and the latent ethical conflicts of
using these applications, particularly considering the protection of
users from the mistreatment of private data or the use of deep fake to
promote misinformation. In addition, the challenges of introducing this
app in a region such as Latin America with deep economic and
technological disparities, not just at local, but at regional level and
global level among the North and the South. Would the adoption of AI
reduce this gap, or on the contrary, will the eruption of this novel
technology bring more disparity?
We look for contributions on relevant cases that analyze the ethical and
legal dilemmas of incorporating Artificial Intelligence in diverse
socio-economic fields in Latin America. Topics associated with inclusion
of AI in the production of news (fake news, deepfake, labor
precarization), algorithms and genre disparity, the inclusion of AI in
education, the prospective impact of AI developments in climate change,
the incorporation of AI to combat criminality or in internal and
regional conflicts, the development of AI to solve social problems such
as pollution and traffic in large metropoles like Mexico City or Sao
Paulo, and to promote public transparency and accountability. But at the
same time, analyzing the challenges of using this disruptive technology:
the potential threats to the regional economy, the invasion of privacy
and the misuse of citizen’s data, among other key issues.
