LatIA, 2024, vol. 2, 11

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms the social sciences by providing new methodologies and tools for data analysis. This article was based on a comprehensive literature review that analyzed the role of artificial intelligence as an analytical tool in the social sciences. It was observed that the ability of AI to process text, images, and audio in an integrated manner allows researchers to address complex problems with greater accuracy and efficiency. Multimodal tools facilitate the analysis of large volumes of data, the interpretation of financial documents, and the evaluation of facial expressions, which improves decision making in social research. Specialized databases offer access to a wide range of AI tools that optimize tasks such as literature review, data collection and visualization of results. In addition, safety and ethics in the use of AI are key priorities, with the creation of alliances and regulatory frameworks that ensure responsible and safe development of these technologies. Initiatives such as the AI Safety Alliance and the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act set global standards for the ethical and safe use of AI, safeguarding both individuals and society at large.
