This paper delves into the evolution of deepfakes through the prism of information poverty theory, scrutinising how deepfakes may contribute to a growing information access/use inequality. The research focuses on the risks of misinformation and the ensuing expansion of digital divides, particularly when manipulative media could delude individuals lacking access to legitimate information sources. The study outlines the potential exacerbation of information asymmetries and examines the societal implications across various demographics. By integrating an analytical discussion on the risks associated with deepfakes, the study aligns the observed trends with the theoretical underpinnings of information poverty. As part of its contribution, the paper offers actionable policy-making recommendations and educational strategies to combat the proliferation of harmful deepfake content. The article aims to ensure a more equitable distribution of authentic information and foster media literacy. Through a multifaceted approach, this study endeavours to provide a foundational understanding for stakeholders to navigate the ethical minefield posed by deepfakes and to instil a framework for information equity in the digital era. The article provides critical insights into the discourse on deepfake technology and its relation to information poverty, underscoring the urgent need for equitable access to informed digital spaces. As deepfake technology evolves and more data emerges, a societal demand exists for comprehensive knowledge about deepfakes to promote discernment, decision-making and awareness. Policymakers are tasked with recognising the significance of widening access to sophisticated information technologies whilst addressing their negative repercussions. Their efforts will be particularly crucial for disseminating knowledge about deepfakes to those with limited or non-existent information and communication awareness and infrastructures. Learning from past successes and failures becomes pivotal in shaping effective strategies to address the challenges posed by deepfakes and fostering accessible, informed digital communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management Data Insights","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667096824000752/pdfft?md5=03c4539aa8be2df8356c77492752997c&pid=1-s2.0-S2667096824000752-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142314784","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}

Despite the critical role of such technologies, however, acceptance and adoption rates among physicians in developing countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, have been relatively low. This highlights the need to explore the determinants of acceptance. In response to this call, this study aimed to identify the factors that influence Saudi physicians’ acceptance and adoption of mHealth apps during the COVID-19 pandemic using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. Data were collected using an online survey, after which the responses were analyzed via structural equation modeling. The analysis assessed the influence of four primary constructs, namely, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, on the physicians’ behavioral intention to adopt these technologies. The results indicated that while all factors significantly affected the intention to adopt the apps, facilitating conditions were the most influential. These findings punctuate the necessity of investing in infrastructure and implementing training programs focused on integrating mHealth technology into medical practice. By drawing attention to influencing factors, this research provides critical insights for policymakers and healthcare managers to enhance the adoption of mHealth apps. This enhancement, in turn, can help improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes during and beyond health crises. Finally, this study not only sheds light on the adoption dynamics prevalent in a developing context but also serves as a valuable guide for implementing similar technologies in other global regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management Data Insights","volume":"4 2","pages":"Article 100289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667096824000788/pdfft?md5=29e48c7923786a555f795eb9342d4c82&pid=1-s2.0-S2667096824000788-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142274835","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}

Analysing this data can provide valuable insights into why some projects succeed without major issues, others encounter and overcome problems, and some ultimately fail. This study introduces an approach that combines narrative interviews and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify patterns associated with innovation project outcomes. We analysed 618 documents from 67 projects provided by ZonMw, a major Dutch healthcare research funder, and conducted 32 narrative interviews across seven cases of healthcare innovation projects. By using narrative interviews to inform and pre-train a text embedding model, we demonstrate the potential to create a proxy for human judgement, allowing for a more natural identification of contextual patterns in project documentation. The findings indicate that successful projects are more likely to adopt a proactive approach to role changes and uncertainty (due to ambiguous laws and regulations) and to allow flexibility, which enhances stakeholder engagement, compared to failed projects. However, while we were able to conduct descriptive analysis to gain these insights, significant interpretation is still required to fully understand the findings.

Additionally, it suggests potential efficiency improvements in theory development by enabling multiple pattern configurations within Grounded Theory.

This was anticipated to lead to a better understanding of those factors with their models and effects, as explored in previous research. This systematic literature review resulted in a comprehensive and rigorous examination of the relevant literature, which included numerous articles of interest. The findings indicate that most of the past research on cyber-violence has primarily looked at the factors affecting the behavioral intention to engage in the phenomenon, while very few studies have looked at its effects, especially in developing countries.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in 91 studies to be systematically reviewed. It emerged from this review that engagement in cyber-violence was predominantly due to a lack of cyber-violence models and a failure to consider the factors that potentially contribute to engagement in cyber-violence. Hence, these factors are identified in this paper, looking at the academic, economic and social impact of cyber-violence.
