This volume explores how artificial intelligence can move beyond its current limits by engaging with the full richness of human knowledge, including tacit, sensory, visual, and aesthetic intelligence. While today's AI systems, especially large language models, excel at processing explicit knowledge through words and symbols, they capture only part of what makes us human. Aesthetics, including neuroaesthetics, plays a unifying role across human knowledge systems and shapes fields as diverse as art, communication, health, consumer behaviour, education, and the design of social environments. Bringing together insights from neuroscience, AI, the arts, and societal development, the volume highlights why the future of innovation depends not only on STEM, but on STEAM: Science, Technology, Education, Arts, and Management. Essential reading for scholars, researchers, and forward-thinking readers interested in artificial intelligence, human cognition, aesthetics, and the future of society, this book offers a timely vision of how AI can better serve the advancement of the human condition.
