Multifaceted uses of cutting-edge technologies and social concerns

Abstract

The multifaceted uses of cutting-edge technologies reshape current organizations, bringing new opportunities and significant social concerns. As technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) become integral, they drive efficiency and enhance connectivity across various sectors. However, these advancements also raise critical issues related to privacy, equity, and ethics. The rapid pace of technological change often comes before the development of regulations, rules, and societal norms, leading to differing opinions on employment, data security, and access to information. Further exploration into this complex landscape may help balance technological progress with social awareness, ensuring that these powerful tools are used responsibly and equitably. Multifaceted Uses of Cutting-Edge Technologies and Social Concerns examines the various uses of new technologies and social factors in healthcare, media, and business sectors. Technologies like AI, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, and chatbots are posited as useful resources for organizations looking to ensure improved data or media management. This book covers topics such as social media, telemedicine, and data science, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, data scientists, sociologists, psychologists, healthcare professionals, academicians, and researchers. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
