From Theory To Practice: Using Sociology To Develop Fair Economic Policies In An AI-Driven World

Constantinos Challoumis

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The terrain of everyday life is being dramatically reconfigured in unprecedented ways. In sectors ranging from health to finance, AI is becoming pervasive, posing questions around the treatment and distribution of people. It is therefore natural that sociologists will seek to interrogate these developments. That being said, the kind of social theory deployed in technology studies has often focused on the social constitution of technology might be too narrow from the perspective of macro sociological traditions emphasizing economy, policy and uneven distribution. In working through these complex issues, it is essential to draw from multiple disciplinary sources throughout.
