Exploring Ethical Dimensions of Environmental Sustainability and Use of AI is a comprehensive and insightful book that delves into the ethical implications and challenges that emerge at the intersection of environmental sustainability and the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI). With a focus on key ethical dimensions such as transparency, equity, privacy, autonomy, unintended consequences, and trade-offs, this book aims to provide a thorough understanding of the responsible deployment and development of AI in the realm of environmental sustainability. By addressing the ethical aspects and challenges involved, this book contributes to the development of ethical guidelines and framewor...
In today's rapidly changing educational and business climate, organizational transformation has become a key area of development for many different and varied environments, both commercial and academic. This book addresses issues related to developing Decision Support Systems (DSS) which are sensitive and adaptable to different contexts and evolving technical and work environments. In addition to addressing the various cultural/social, organizational/individual, task/technology contexts of DSS, the book also anchors these discussions in a practical context, drawing on case studies to illustrate the theoretical dimensions stressed. This book includes the following issues: Frameworks for under...
The ever-changing world of wearable technologies makes it difficult for experts and practitioners to keep up with the most recent developments. This handbook provides a solid understanding of the significant role that AI plays in the design and development of wearable technologies along with applications and case studies. Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Wearables: Applications and Case Studies presents a deep understanding of AI and its involvement in wearable technologies. The book discusses the key role that AI plays and goes on to discuss the challenges and possible solutions. It highlights the more recent advances along with real-world approaches for the design and development of the most popular AI-enabled wearable devices such as smart fitness trackers, AI-enabled glasses, sports wearables, disease diagnostic devices, and more, complete with case studies. This book will be a valuable source for researchers, academics, technologists, industrialists, practitioners, and all people who wish to explore the applications of AI and the part it plays in wearable technologies.
"This 4-volume set provides a compendium of comprehensive advanced research articles written by an international collaboration of experts involved with the strategic use of information systems"--Provided by publisher.
The motivation for this book is to provide, in a concise format, account of the explorations and integration of the lessons learned from experimental decision support system implementation. This book considers the various aspects of developing decision support systems in a way which is accessible to the full range of participants in the process.
The main purpose of this paper is to contribute to the discussion about the design of computer and communication systems that can aid the management process. 1.1 Historical Overview We propose that Decision Support System can be considered as a design conception conceived within the computer industry to facilitate the use of computer technology in organisations (Keen, 1991). This framework, built during the late 1970s, offers computer and communication technology as support to the decision process which constitutes, in this view, the core of the management process. The DSS framework offers the following capabilities: • Access: ease of use, wide variety of data, analysis and modelling capacity. • Technological: software gel)eration tools. • Development modes: interactive and evolutionary. Within this perspective, computer and communication technologies are seen as an amplification of the human data processing capabilities which limit the decision process. Thus, the human being is understood metaphorically as a data processing machine. Mental processes are associated with the manipulation of symbols aOO human communication to signal transmission.
The Hungarian economy is on a new development path after coping successfully with challenges raised by national economic transition and the increasing globalization in the first half of the 1990s. Competitiveness has become a key issue for both macroeconomic analysts and for decision makers in business and government. Recognition of the above in 1995 led the Budapest University of Economic Sciences to start a research program titled In Global Competition - Microeconomic Factors of Competitiveness of the Hungarian Economy. A focal element of the research program was an opinion survey. The analysis of the database of two surveys makes it possible to provide an overview of the changes in the behavior, performance and selected operational fields of Hungarian companies between 1995 and 1999. The main findings of this analysis are published in this book. Besides the description of the Hungarian developments, the authors provide some more general conclusions for those interested in micro and
