The book aims to demystify AI and its applications in social sciences by offering a straightforward description of its key concepts and tools, all in an easy-to-understand language. The book delves into the fundamental elements of AI systems, shedding light on their capabilities as well as their inherent constraints. Moreover, the author explores AI tools that find applications in the realm of social sciences, including decision support systems rooted in machine learning, as well as knowledge-based. In addition, the book addresses the pertinent issues that, while not purely AI-related, are crucial in AI applications within the social sciences, most notably security and privacy considerations. The content should be accessible to an audience ranging from undergraduate students to researchers and practitioners in the fields of AI and social sciences, assuming they possess a basic understanding of mathematics and a keen interest in the subject. This book is a bridge between the worlds of AI and social sciences, aiming to provide a fundamental understanding for those eager to explore the intersection of these two domains. 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aExpert systems (Computer science) 606 $aNatural language processing (Computer science) 606 $aSocial sciences$xData processing 606 $aData protection$xLaw and legislation 606 $aMultiagent systems 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aKnowledge Based Systems 606 $aNatural Language Processing (NLP) 606 $aComputer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences 606 $aPrivacy 606 $aMultiagent Systems 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aExpert systems (Computer science) 615 0$aNatural language processing (Computer science) 615 0$aSocial sciences$xData processing. 615 0$aData protection$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aMultiagent systems. 615 14$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aKnowledge Based Systems. 615 24$aNatural Language Processing (NLP). 615 24$aComputer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences. 615 24$aPrivacy. 615 24$aMultiagent Systems. 676 $a006.3 700 $aTorra$b Vicenc?$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0848974 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911058016903321 996 $aAI for Social Sciences$94532701 997 $aUNINA
