Scientific and technological revolutions occur when the marginal cost of a particular element of production becomes negligible. This can be seen in the First Industrial Revolution, when the development of the steam engine made energy affordable; in the Second Industrial Revolution, when the cost of energy transport was reduced thanks to electricity and internal combustion engines; and in the Digital Revolution, when the cost of transmitting information via the internet was radically reduced. Today, we are witnessing a new structural transformation: the incorporation of intelligence into production and service processes at minimal cost, made possible by the deployment and consolidation of artificial intelligence (AI).

This issue is dedicated to AI and features contributions from four specialists offering complementary perspectives: from the persuasive power of large language models and the ethical and regulatory implications that arise from them, to the historical evolution of AI and the turning point represented by transformers; from the potential of AI in biomedicine – with applications in diagnosis, drug research, and personalised medicine – to the importance of explainable AI in education that can promote a more critical and transparent use. Together, these contributions provide a comprehensive and rigorous examination of the challenges and opportunities presented by this technology, which is poised to reshape our society.
