A Review and a Proposal About Socio-economic Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

There is a high potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to become the ena-bling technology of the new socio-economical paradigm. The huge amount of academic literature produced in the last few years leaves little room for doubts about the revolutionary nature of AI. Some scientific papers are fo-cused on negative aspects of a complete or partial substitution of the work-force by the intelligent machines, while others are more optimistic and are focused on the ideas revolving around the universal basic income and the decrease in the number of full-time working hours. The proposed analysis, both of existing literature and new statistical evidence, aims at the further exploration of the possibility for artificial intelligence to become the ena-bling technology of the next technological revolution.
