Despite its immense potential for positive impact, the development and deployment of AI also raises a range of ethical considerations. This paper presents a literature review and case study analysis of the ethics of AI, with a particular focus on exploring areas where research is still lacking. Our analysis reveals that while there is a growing body of literature on AI ethics, there are also several areas that remain underexplored. Through a detailed analysis of case studies from diverse sectors, we illustrate the practical implications of ethical dilemmas surrounding AI. Specifically, this paper examines issues related to fairness, transparency, accountability, and bias in AI. The paper reviews the existing literature on AI ethics and uses case studies to illustrate the challenges and opportunities presented by AI. Our paper underscores the urgent need for further research and attention to these issues to ensure that the development and use of AI align with ethical principles and values. We conclude by suggesting a research agenda for future work on the ethics of AI.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100147,"journal":{"name":"Augmented Human Research","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the flexibility to reorganize brain processing to use novel sensory signals during early sensitive periods in infancy is much less evident at later ages, making integration of new signals into adults’ perception a significant challenge. We believe that an approach informed by cognitive neuroscience is crucial for maximizing the true potential of new sensory technologies. Here, we present a framework for measuring and evaluating the extent to which new signals are integrated within existing structures of perception and experience. As our testbed, we use laboratory tasks in which healthy volunteers learn new, augmented perceptual-motor skills. We describe a suite of measures of (i) perceptual function (psychophysics), (ii) neural representations (fMRI/decoding), and (iii) subjective experience (qualitative interview/micro-phenomenology) targeted at testing hypotheses about how newly learned signals become integrated within perception and experience. As proof of concept, we provide example data showing how this approach allows us to measure changes in perception, neural processing, and subjective experience. We argue that this framework, in concert with targeted approaches to optimizing training and learning, provides the tools needed to develop and optimize new approaches to human sensory augmentation and substitution.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100147,"journal":{"name":"Augmented Human Research","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s41133-024-00075-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142518921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tactical movement patterns must be investigated to best guide device design and mitigate restriction of the user’s abilities to execute duties. The purpose of this study was to identify if biomechanical patterns are difference between walking while maintaining weapon aim (i.e., ‘shoot on the move’, SM) and normal walking. Twenty-two male active-duty Army Soldiers performed normal walking and SM under three speed conditions: (1) self-selected slow, (2) standard (1.12 m/s), and (3) self-selected fast. Lower extremity kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters were collected. Unadjusted and adjusted models were performed to determine the effects of walking and speed conditions on dependent variables. Individuals exhibited larger lower extremity flexion angles during SM than during normal walking (<i>p</i> < 0.01). Smaller strides were observed during SM than during normal walking (<i>p</i> < 0.01). No difference in time spent in double limb support were observed between walking tasks (<i>p</i> = 0.97). Tactical athletes exhibit different movement patterns during SM compared to normal walking. Lower extremities are more flexed, and strides are shorter during SM to minimize vertical movement and increase stability, suggesting that occupationally relevant movements may not directly translate to basic movements. Information on occupationally relevant movements should be accessible to exoskeleton designers to build optimum control systems that will aid and not hinder tactical athletes in their roles to serve and protect.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100147,"journal":{"name":"Augmented Human Research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142409366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The debate seems to revolve around the question of if generative artificial intelligence is just a tool or if it is actually able to collaborate, substitute or interfere with human authorship, as legislation of AI-generated work would make one believe. These questions appear to take much for granted due to their anthropocentric starting points that simplify questions of agency in nonhumans. In this paper, we reframe this problematic through a posthuman feminist perspective, particularly from the framework of agential realism and intra-action of Karen Barad. This way, we are able to reveal the entangled agencies within creative practices, particularly for the case of collaborative work with gen-AI. This research is diffractively realized through a transmedia artistic practice in which the mutation of the work is explored by its transposition through different media, particularly through generative methodologies, including gen-AI. Through these perspectives, it is found that the tool/collaborator is grafted upon the dualisms that have been actively scrutinized by feminist posthuman theory, like human/nonhuman, subject/object, maker/made, natural/cultural. From this, we conclude that in a creative practice with gen-AI, as in any creative practice, the various entities implicated in the mattering of the artwork are constantly drawing and redrawing boundaries, and reshaping themselves through the creation of art.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100147,"journal":{"name":"Augmented Human Research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142410126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It encourages meaningful conversations about historical notions of public statuary in creative ways, based on the socio-political context of an example of Greek national statuary—the Greek revolution statue of Theodoros Kolokotronis in Athens, authored by the sculptor Lazaros Sochos and inaugurated in 1904. Aiming to probe diverse perspectives on public statuary and their significance, thereby contributing to the student’s learning and global skills development in the education 4.0 era, the authors explore the synergies between XR technologies and ludification tools in the rapid critical prototyping of 3D concepts. This innovative pedagogical approach enables participants to explore the relations between statuary and context(s), envisioning and prototyping future solutions that shape public statues’ perception and interpretation.
