The present paper aims to highlight the major up to date findings and research trends on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) from a theoretical perspective, analysed in association with the human-machine interaction challenges. The existing research and scholarly literature display quite heterogenous approaches on these topics, and only a few of them tackle the social sciences view on the matter. In conclusion, there is a need for a more specific approach from the socio-psychological perspective, especially in topics concerning human centricity, human training at work, personality variables and other indicators when using AI devices.
