Dear AI professional, student, enthusiast,
AI Science and Engineering is un upcoming scientific discipline that can fuse AI, brain and mind studies and social engineering in a new scientific discipline. It has huge impact on both our society and environment. The new book “Artificial Intelligence Science and Society” consists of four volumes (parts) debating all technical and social grand challenges of AI Science and Engineering in an understandable and scientifically accurate manner:
“Artificial Intelligence Science and Society Part A: Introduction to AI Science and Information Technology“

https://www.amazon.com/dp/9609156479?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860“Artificial Intelligence Science and Society Part C: AI Science and Society“
https://www.amazon.com/dp/9609156487?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860“Artificial Intelligence Science and Society Part D: AI Science and the Environment“
https://www.amazon.com/dp/9609156495?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860They are self-sufficient and require no mathematical/scientific background. The four book volumes debate and try to forecast the future of AI Science and Engineering, as well as the upcoming Mind and Social Science and Engineering. They are published in Amazon/Kindle.
Here is just an indicative list of few of the debated topics and grand AI challenges:
