Vol. 6 No. Especial 2 (2026): Innovation, Ethics and Digital Transformations in the Redefinition of the Human

The accelerated convergence of artificial intelligence, the automation and virtualization of everyday processes on the ground is reconfiguring productive and institutional structures, which is radically transforming the nature of human interactions and the construction of subjectivity. In this scenario of ontological and technological transition, social and human sciences are faced with the imperative challenge of articulating analytical frameworks capable of critically evaluating the impact of digital media, transcending technological determinism to place dignity, equity and ethical responsibility at the center of the debate.

This special issue of the InveCom Arbitrated Scientific Journal calls on researchers, academics and thinkers to examine the tensions, discontinuities and emergencies that arise at the intersection between technology and society. It seeks to deepen how digital innovation redefines notions of citizenship, work, knowledge and culture, offering multidisciplinary perspectives that contribute to guiding normative, pedagogical and political decisions necessary to guarantee technological development oriented towards collective well-being and social justice.
