We have developed a policy simulation framework using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to capture the intricate interplay between 4IR-driven technological advances and various economic sectors. The CGE analysis endeavors to quantify the widespread implications of 4IR technological changes in terms of GDP, industrial production, labor market dynamics, and income distribution. The study constructs various policy scenarios predicated on the diffusion of 4IR technologies and the conditions within the labor market. From the CGE analysis, it is evident that the 4IR exerts a dualistic impact on the economic system, where it offers opportunities for economic growth and efficiency while concurrently risking an exacerbation of labor market polarization and income inequality. However, the simulation results imply that strategic workforce development, synchronized with the adoption of 4IR technologies through lifelong learning and skill enhancement, is essential to soften the adverse effects of swift technological advancements and to ensure the benefits of the 4IR are equitably distributed across the economy. Our study advocates for a balanced approach that recognizes the unique potential and challenges of each sector and aims to support the workforce across all levels of skill and income.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 3","pages":"Article 102928"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143561564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What we now call “AI” is then shown to be a general functionality of distributed computing. \"AI” has been present in primitive forms from the origins of digital computing in the 1950s. Three short case studies show that large-scale machine learning applications have been present in the digital ecosystem ever since the rise of the Internet. and provoked the same public policy concerns that we now associate with “AI.” The governance problems of “AI” are really caused by the development of this digital ecosystem, not by LLMs or other recent applications of machine learning. The paper then examines five recent proposals to “govern AI”and maps them to the constituent elements of the digital ecosystem model. This mapping shows that real-world attempts to assert governance authority over AI capabilities requires systemic control of all four elements of the digital ecosystem: data, computing power, networks and software. “Governing AI,” in other words, means total control of distributed computing. A better alternative is to focus governance and regulation upon specific applications of machine learning. An application-specific approach to governance allows for a more decentralized, freer and more effective method of solving policy conflicts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 3","pages":"Article 102917"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143561657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Faced with time constraints and difficulties in content selection, individuals increasingly turn to summarized content to quickly obtain the information they seek, potentially leading to heightened media dependence. Additionally, social anxiety—specifically the fear of missing out (FoMO) and fear of better options (FoBO) — arising from social comparison is a critical factor that motivate people to actively engage with digital media to avoid exclusion. This study aimed to examine how individuals use and depend on media to construct social identity within their social groups in the digital era. A survey was conducted among those who watched YouTube summary video (n = 483). The result revealed that individuals with a strong social identity experience higher levels of both FoMO and FoBO. Notably, FoMO significantly influenced dependence on summary videos, as anxiety about missing out on information related to popular content led viewers to rely on these videos for quick updates. This study elucidates the role of social anxiety in shaping media consumption behavior in the digital age and provides insight into the psychological mechanisms underlying a new form of content consumption— summary videos. These findings have significant implications for content creators and platforms in designing effective marketing strategies that account for the psychological drivers of consumer behavior.

AI networks of AI networks have emerged with high interdependence and complexity.

The recent emergence of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites may present one solution due to their lower latency, higher bandwidth, and potentially reduced costs when compared to traditional geostationary satellites. However, available primary data on user experiences with LEO satellite services remains limited. In this context, we present the results of an empirical study exploring the early-stage impact of LEO satellite technologies in two remote communities in the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada. Drawing from digital divide and digital inclusion research, we demonstrate how the introduction of new satellite technologies impacts first- and third-level digital divides in geographically remote, small population communities. Our study found that compared to other available satellite services, subscribers to Starlink's LEO satellite services experienced better internet speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, with notable improvements in digital access and engagement in online activities. This illustrates how LEO services may contribute to digital inclusion by supporting the social and economic outcomes of internet access. However, concerns remain over persistent first-level digital divide challenges including the affordability and reliability of these new services, particularly given high initial costs and lack of local technical support. We also note the trade-offs for local economies that accompany the adoption of such services, such as reliance on propretiary end-user terminals and highly centralized business operations. Future research will continue to track user experiences and the broader impact of LEO services in rural/remote Indigenous communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 2","pages":"Article 102912"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143378985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
