Artificial Intelligence: Achievements and Recent Developments

This book features state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) development and implementation, focusing on recent results and distinguished achievements. It analyzes AI implementation prospects, some new research tendencies and trends for AI development as well as corresponding challenges and risks. The book consists of twelve chapters in the AI field which may be conditionally divided into two groups.

One group of chapters is devoted to the overview, analysis and the discussion of (a) the world’s achievements and priorities in AI’s implementation, (b) the conception of the interrelation of AI and the artificial conscience, (c) the level of AI freedom (d) challenges and risks of AI implementation, (e) efficiency of deep learning and (f) socionic models of psycho-informational processes and quantum computers.

The second group of chapters presents recent developments in the AI field and successful cases of AI implementations in the different areas of human activity. Special attention is paid to efficient AI-based solutions in cybersecurity, the military sphere, biology, medicine, metallurgy, automation of industrial processes, and decision support in marine safety. In addition, this book considers the peculiarities of the AI and AI tools application for the recovery processes of the destroyed by war countries.

The monograph consists of research-analytic-oriented chapters presented by invited high-caliber scientists from different countries (Ukraine, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and P.R. of China).

Anatolii Shevchenko graduated from the Faculty of Physics at Donetsk State University with a major in Radio Physics and Electronics. In 1985, he defended his Ph.D. thesis, earning the academic degree of a candidate. In 1990, he completed his doctoral thesis, obtaining the academic degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences. In 1997, he was awarded the title of professor, and in 1998, he received the honorary title of Honored Scientist and Technician of Ukraine. In 2006, was elected as a Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the field of Computer Systems. In 2015, he was appointed as the Director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. Together with the Department of Informatics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, he initiated an international scientific journal called "Artificial Intelligence" and was appointed as its chief editor. His research interests encompass various aspects of artificial intelligence, modeling human intelligence, simulating elements of human consciousness, breakthrough technologies in the field of artificial intelligence, and multidisciplinary aspects of artificial intelligence.
