Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, artificial intelligence has been used in various industries. A wide range of applications such as medical, educational, and military applications will use intelligent systems. We will see several learning models that may be used alone or with the cooperation of humans to solve problems. Unfortunately, there are many dark sides to the use of artificial intelligence. For example, challenges such as energy, ethics, security, verifiability, privacy, transparency, accountability, explainability, robustness, and safety are not considered during the design of learning algorithms. Ignoring these issues may easily cause catastrophic problems for humans. It should be noted that these challenges may occur in different forms of artificial intelligence such as artificial narrow intelligence, artificial general intelligence, and artificial superintelligence. Therefore, considering the dark sides during the design and use of artificial intelligence will be a crucial issue in the near future. Discovering new dark sides and new versions of learning algorithms considering dark sides belongs to the scope of this Special Issue.

In recent years, artificial intelligence has had a tremendous impact on every field, and several definitions of its different types have been provided. In the literature, most articles focus on the extraordinary capabilities of artificial intelligence. Recently, some challenges such as security, safety, fairness, robustness, and energy consumption have been reported during the development of intelligent systems. As the usage of intelligent systems increases, the number of new challenges increases. Obviously, during the evolution of artificial narrow intelligence to artificial super intelligence, the viewpoint on the challenges such as security will be changed. In addition, the recent development of human-level intelligence cannot appropriately happen without considering whole challenges in designing intelligent systems. Considering the mentioned situation, no study in the literature summarizes the challenges in designing artificial intelligence. In this paper, a review of the challenges is presented. Then, some important research questions about the future dynamism of challenges and their relationships are answered. Full article
