This book examines the Digital era impact on higher education through interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, and interregional perspectives. It focuses on artificial intelligence and the common denominator of the ethics governance of AI.
The Fourth industrial revolution is radically reshaping educational spaces. Robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), Web3, blockchain, quantum computing, but specially, artificial intelligence, are transforming the way to teach and learn. This book aims to take an in-depth study at the impact of the digital age in the university. This is carried out from a broad perspective that includes interdisciplinary, a wide range of areas, sectors, regions and countries and, the common denominator of the ethical governance of AI.
This publication is a collaborative effort between university scholars and international experts, developed within the research group "University 4.0" led by the Institute of European Studies and Human Rights at the Pontifical University of Salamanca.
