SHAPING FUTURES: AI'S ROLE ACROSS DISCIPLINES & PROFESSIONS

This book examines the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence across a wide range of fields from medicine, education, and design to the arts, architecture, and everyday life. As AI shifts from a passive tool to an active collaborator, it is reshaping not only workflows and professional practices but also our understanding of creativity, ethics, and human agency.Bringing together contributions from experts across disciplines, the book offers both technical insights and philosophical reflections. It opens with an exploration of AI in healthcare, where it is revolutionizing diagnosis, treatment planning, and public health. It then examines how AI is redefining learning environments, creative processes, and architectural design. From generative art and automated design tools to questions of authorship, trust, and emotional intelligence, each chapter presents real-world case studies and clear examples that make complex topics accessible and engaging.Written to spark curiosity and understanding among general audiences, secondary school students, and early university learners. It also serves as a valuable resource for practitioners and academics seeking a broad, interdisciplinary perspective on AI's evolving impact.
