Speaking Truth to Power - A Theory of Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing is the public disclosure of information with the purpose of revealing wrongdoings and abuses of power that harm the public interest. This book presents a comprehensive theory of whistleblowing: it defines the concept, reconstructs its origins, discusses it within the current ethical debate, and elaborates a justification of unauthorized disclosures. Its normative proposal is based on three criteria of permissibility: the communicative constraints, the intent, and the public interest conditions. The book distinguishes between two forms of whistleblowing, civic and political, showing how they apply in the contexts of corruption and government secrecy. The book articulates a conc...
Cognitive Warfare
This book explores the conceptual, historical, and ethical issues of information conflict to present a detailed analysis of cognitive warfare. Is it possible for liberal democracies to deliberately use information on civilian populations to impact political and social institutions? While information conflict has been a part of political conflict, warfare, and international relations for as long as there has been political competition, given that our modern political and social lives are saturated by information, we are now faced with a pressing set of reasons to understand cognitive warfare, and to place it in a wider historical and technological context. This book identifies a series of con...
Global Cybersecurity and International Law
This book offers a critical analysis of cybersecurity from a legal-international point of view. Assessing the need to regulate cyberspace has triggered the re-emergence of new primary norms. This book evaluates the ability of existing international law to address the threat and use of force in cyberspace, redefining cyberwar and cyberpeace for the era of the Internet of Things. Covering critical issues such as the growing scourge of economic cyberespionage, international co-operation to fight cybercrime, the use of foreign policy instruments in cyber diplomacy, it also looks at state backed malicious cyberoperations, and the protection of human rights against State security activities. Offering a holistic examination of the ability of public international law, the book addresses the most pressing issues in global cybersecurity. Reflecting on the reforms necessary from international institutions, like the United Nations, the European Union, the Council of Europe, and NATO, in order to provide new answers to the critical issues in global cybersecurity and international law, this book will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners.

Critical Complications In Pediatric Oncology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant, volume II
Pediatric oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients with a critical illness are a particularly challenging population with a unique presentation, diagnosis, and management. One in every three to four children with cancer will require admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) during the course of their treatment. Providing optimum care for these patients involves dedicated multidisciplinary collaboration to provide timely and appropriate management. Onco-critical care is a growing field of expertise for the care of this high acuity patient population. Recent work in this field has focused on sepsis, respiratory complications, and multi-organ failure in HCT patients...
CAIP 2021
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 1st International Conference on AI for People: Towards Sustainable AI, CAIP'21, held Virtually, on November 20-24, 2021. This event, organized by the non-profit association 'AI for People', aims to provide a platform for people to present, learn and discuss the use of Artificial Intelligence for the societal good, addressing its benefits as well as its risks. In this year's edition, we focus on Sustainable AI as a movement to foster change towards greater ecological integrity and social justice in the entire life cycle of AI systems. The 11 full papers and 1 short paper presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The presentations covered multiple research fields like Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Social Science, and Philosophy brought the discussion on how to shape Artificial Intelligence technology around human and societal needs. In order to foster this idea, this conference hoped to narrow the gap between civil society and technical experts.
Ending Midlife Bias
As average lifespans stretch to new lengths, how are human values impacted? Should our values change over the course of our ever-increasing lifespans? Nancy S. Jecker introduces a new concept, the life stage relativity of values, which holds that at different life stages, different ethical concerns should take center stage. For Jecker, the privileging of midlife values raises fundamental problems of fairness, and reveals large gaps in ethical principles and theories. Jecker introduces a new philosophical framework that reflects the life stage relativity of values and shows its relevance to practice and policy.
