The transformation of mobility: AI, robotics and automatization

摘要

Innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), advanced robotics and automatization, have already profoundly impacted the movement of people, information, ideas, communications and objects. How these technologies impact on future mobilities will depend on decisions made now, meaning that a sustained and creative engagement with AI and its applications by mobilities researchers is imperative. This chapter outlines an analytic approach to the emergent contours of complex automated mobilities systems, what we refer to as mobilities 3.0, and applies this to the case of AI military technology and weapons systems. Our conclusion identifies further challenges for the development and application of mobilities 3.0.
