Ethics in Artificial Intelligence

From environmental wastefulness to the devastation within the creative industries, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised countless concerns in American culture and society. As the capabilities of AI increase, ethicists and scientists struggle to address the threats posed by this new technology.


Presenting up-to-date journalism surrounding AI and the implications of its technological advancements, this issue contains crucial information that will be invaluable to students, teachers, and anyone else interested in taking a closer look at this challenging topic. 

Cryptocurrency

Over the years cryptocurrency has evolved from a fringe economic hobby to a major feature of the economic world in the twenty-first century. Digital assets have increased in popularity, providing a path to prosperity to some and causing economic ruin for others.


While the use of cryptocurrency has become more widespread, many Americans have little knowledge of how it works. This issue provides perspectives into this relatively new form of currency and offers balanced coverage of this complex topic.
