Ensuring AI takes a human first approach

This paper provides an overview on the "new normal" or "near future society" starting from the most significant events that characterised the evolution and pervasiveness of cyber technology. The goal to digitise as much as possible reaching a cyber-based society relaying on “digital”, this pillar is quite fragile and subject to attacks or suitable for top-down discrimination. Additional potential drawbacks due to lives spent in cyber-bubbles, cyber-mediation of human relations, citizens experience the world thanks to a cyber device mediated approach. Here it comes the potential role of the Metaverse. Cyber-loneliness, one of the foreseeable risks is a kind of addiction to this “parallel life” training users to shift from real to Meta-life blurring the border between them. A short description of the “dark side” follows. The following section, starting from the description of the actual scenario introduces the growing interest in reshaping the digital landscape, as we know it now, into a more human centred and ethics domain. A potential benefit is evident ensuring the opportunity to deploy a human centred environment instead of a cyber centric web of procedures and duties. To shape this approach a strong interdisciplinary approach is required: SSH, STEM, Biz, Cyber, Phycological skills and more.
