This book explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) with knowledge management, ethics, and social justice, shedding light on how technology can perpetuate or mitigate societal inequities. It presents a curated selection of works from the International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM) 2024, held at Kent State University, USA, uniting thought leaders, scholars, and practitioners to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with the rise of AI and to address these challenges head-on. AI is reshaping many aspects of society in a rapid revolution that raises urgent questions of equity, ethics, business, and society. Through theoretical frameworks, case studies, and critical analyses, the contributors to this volume examine the role of AI in diverse sectors such as education, healthcare, governance, and industry, emphasizing its impact on marginalized communities. Key topics include bias in AI algorithms, ethical frameworks for AI governance, equitable access to technology, the role of knowledge management in promoting inclusive decision-making, and the impact of AI in education. The insights presented aim to empower readers to navigate the complexities of AI responsibly and advocate for systems that prioritize fairness and social good. This is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how AI shapes societal structures and how we can leverage it for a more equitable future.
