Artificial intelligence, environment and smart cities - Rech, Adir Ubaldo (Educs, 2021)
The preface by Paulo César Nodari, researcher and professor in the Master and Doctorate in Philosophy Courses, as well as in the Master and Doctorate in Law Courses at the University of Caxias do Sul, could be considered the first chapter, due to its meaning in the reflection entitled: Human beings want to know and live well! It summarizes the necessary concern involving the natural environment and technology, regarding a city of good living. In this sense, and for a matter of reasoning, we make this introduction first, so that we can then fully enter a reflection that begins with the preface but does not end with the last chapter, as only epistemological research involving nature and technology and its application is claimed. This more practical and effective construction of the intelligent law, as a foundation of the smart city should start by respecting the natural environment, as a habitat of life and supplier of environmental goods and services. At the same time, it should rely on technology and the so-called artificial intelligence, as complements and instruments of construction of well-living.
