The field of social research is characterized by its broad scope and interdisciplinary nature, encompassing the examination of human behaviour, societies, and various facets of social existence; however, it is influenced by numerous factors, including technological advancements. It is therefore no surprise that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a driving force, bringing about substantial transformations within the field. The use of AI-assisted tools and programmes for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of both quantitative and qualitative data is increasing at a remarkable pace. The implications of utilizing these applications are significant and noteworthy. While these technologies present numerous opportunities, it is important to acknowledge the accompanying dilemmas and risks associated with this form of technological advancement. With a focus on AI's research implications, this book explores various considerations and examples across different disciplines of social research. It highlights the considerable promise AI holds for revolutionizing the discipline while also guiding readers in contemplating the potential drawbacks and various concerns. By doing so, researchers can optimize the capabilities of AI and promote its responsible, reliable, and beneficial application in enhancing and advancing social research.

This book introduces readers to philosophies of hospitality and tourism. It provides insights into classic philosophical concepts and explains how these can inform the actions of tourism stakeholders, practitioners, hosts and tourists. The volume explores four main areas: the nexus of philosophy with tourism and hospitality; the philosophy of giving in hospitality and tourism; the receiving-end, such as emotional tourist experiences, happiness and overtourism, including the notion of ‘gluttony’; and philosophical issues related to tourism development, such as the spirit of places and thanatourism. The discussion of philanthropy within the context of tourism is a strength of the book and will be important in a post-Covid-19 tourism industry. The book will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in tourism and hospitality.
