This paper addresses the technology of artificial intelligence as a modern challenge. The main purpose of this article is to motivate all interested parties, the government leaders, scientific and expert public, lawyers, innovators, as well as end users to consider the challenges deriving from the application of this technology. Interpreting the technology of artificial intelligence from the perspective of different disciplines and practices contributes to its better understanding, while emphasizing a broad range of risks is a step forward in identifying and understanding the problems which we must readily encounter. If possible, some of the problems should be avoided and prevented in a timely manner. The main goal of the paper is to point to the challenges deriving from the application of this modern technology and raise awareness of the importance of organizing production and application of artificial intelligence technology. The paper starts from the hypothesis that knowing and resolving the broadest possible range of challenges is a prerequisite for regulating this modern technology for the common good. The article provides the analysis of content and a detailed review of literature dealing with artificial intelligence from the perspective of different scientific disciplines. The importance of the study is seen in its being a useful stimulus for initiating a debate about this topic. The social contribution of this study is huge because it puts forward the question of the challenges of artificial intelligence and leads to the strengthening of the awareness of the need for identifying and considering all potential challenges for the sake of their resolution. It is in the interest of whole humanity to focus on regulating artificial intelligence, with the primary focus on the achievement of general social welfare, and not on mere acquisition of profits or some other interest advantages. Only in this way can we protect ourselves from potential harmful consequences of this modern technology.

Technological innovations intrigue the public and shape contemporary social dynamics. Modern society was created on the foundations of mega-changes. It is inherently complex to interpret as it undergoes constant transformation, making its analysis significantly more challenging. Modern society is dynamic, fluid, and networked into a complex and intertwined system of different contents and elements that cooperate with each other, overlap, and/or contradict each other. It is built and arises from the cooperation of various factors. Hence, a multidisciplinary approach was applied in this research paper. The primary purpose of the paper is to point out the importance of contemporary social dynamics, which are intensively changing under the influence of developed technology, especially under the influence of the development and application of artificial intelligence. This technology is perceived as the technology of the future and the technology that is the subject of intense global debate. The paper is structured into several chapters. After the introduction, the theoretical-methodological framework follows. Then, the next part of the paper is devoted to the interpretation of artificial intelligence from a sociological-political perspective. This technology is one of the key drivers of change in modern society and has the potential to dictate the pace of development of modern society. Therefore, the next chapter is devoted to the interpretation of contemporary social dynamics and the processes that laid the foundations for the emergence of modern society. The article also explains the processes that fueled the mega-changes in order to provide a comprehensive explanation of the current social dynamics. The value of a scientific article is reflected in the fact that it indicates the social effects of technology that have been reflected on a global level. Also, the paper encourages further interpretation of the researched topic, especially from the perspective of the application and further development of artificial intelligence.
We accept technological innovation with great speed, focusing on their functional advantages, while social effects remain insufficiently interpreted. Modern technologies change modern society in an almost invisible, yet revolutionary manner, creating new social forms. This paper interprets social deviations, their transformation and emergence of new forms of social deviations due to the application of digital technology. The topic is justified by the method of content analysis of the published scientific material and conducted research, with the application of the multidisciplinary principle. The paper is a step forward in identifying and understanding specific forms of deviant behaviour in a new social context, which have emerged due to technological development. The paper is aimed at showing and analyzing the alienation phenomenon from the perspective of classical theoretical consideration in the current social context, as well as at providing the identification and understanding of various forms of technology dependency. The scientific importance of the article is reflected in its attempt to show negative social effects due to the excessive use of technology, as well as to point to the emergence of new forms of social deviation deriving from technological development, which did not even exist before the emergence of modern technology, and thus could not be the subject of consideration of classical theoretical interpretations. This article provides understanding and identification of the forms of social deviations emerging due to technological development, and also offers experts an opportunity to design preventive programs, thus reducing negative consequences for individuals and society in the long run.
Društvene implikacije informaciono-komunikacionih tehnologija (IKT), interneta i sajber prostora zavise od ekonomskih, pravnih i političkih odluka. Pandemija je stvorila novu realnost koja oblikuje internet koji pronalazi primenu u gotovo svakom domenu. Ovaj rad razmatra novu društvenu realnost nastalu usled KOVID-19 pomoću tri nivoa analize: makro, mezo i mikro nivo analize. Tokom pandemije izazvane virusom KOVID-19, socijalno distanciranje postalo je deo svakodnevnog života širom sveta, a dom kancelarija. Kako opasnost od virusa KOVID-19 menja dosadašnje institucionalne prioritete i ruši nekadašnje granice javno-privatne sfere? Značajan deo rasprave o pandemiji, internetu i njihovom uticaju na društveni kapital odnosi se na to da li internet slabi međuljudske odnose svojih korisnika ili pak doprinosi njihovom jačanju u postojećoj novoj realnosti. Neupitno postoji potreba za aktivnim proučavanjem interneta, a naročito za sistematizacijom dosadašnjih nalaza istraživanja o društvenim implikacijama interneta.
Building and improving investigative interviewing standards is an important topic for police, citizens and finally society. This paper attempts to improve police interviewing of suspects. We further develop the concept of investigative interviewing by linking it to important insights by social movement scholars. Differences in theories reflect different approaches to the interviewing of suspects. In this article, we explore a variety of theories that may improve preparation for the interviewing of suspects. We provide a multidimensional quality and import theories from sociology, psychology and behavioural studies, modifying these to better fit the investigative interviewing of suspects. The main method applied in the paper is content analysis. The article and its conclusions also address the broader implications of understanding the importance of planning for the investigative interviewing of suspects. Results of the study indicate need for actively seeking of best practices of the investigative interviewing of suspects. Understanding what motivates person to commit a crime is also a crucial aspect of police investigation. Findings of the study may serve as impulse for evaluation and improvement of existing practices of interviewing of suspects and contribute to the broader knowledge in this area. The aforementioned represents a good basis for the development of simulation models for the training of investigators.
