Regarding the magnitude of the effects, online learning engagement is as useful as online course enrollment, underscoring the importance of engagement that can supplement formal or structured learning methods. Furthermore, online learning activities benefit disadvantaged labor groups such as female and older workers more.

Although it provides groundbreaking opportunities to benefit societies, the technology also evokes tremendous concerns about potential risk and harm.

Thus, this study proposes an integrated CAMS framework of AI governance to examine the content, actors, means, and scope of AI technology regulations in China and Germany. Regarding AI governance as an active negotiation and regulatory trajectory, we investigate laws and policies on AI governance and the policy-making processes in both countries and articulate two paths of balancing technology and ethics. China adopts a utility-oriented approach featuring a state-led governance structure with complex central-local dynamics. In the Chinese model, AI technology is a driver of economic development, and ethics serves as a utilitarian tool to safeguard the advancement of technology. Germany constructs a right-based approach governed by multisectoral discussion and cooperation platforms with state supervision. In the German model, AI technology is a high-risk arena, and ethics represents the rights for which technological development should serve.

However, even in this period the phenomenon of the digital divide (dd) emerges. This research moves in this direction, studying the evolution of the Internet use in Italy, in three different macro-areas, in more recent times (from 1996 to 2022). To provide a rigorous quantitative approach of the internal dd, different statistical models of diffusion, in particular Logistic, Gompertz and Bass models have been used. In order to analyse the diffusion of the Internet and internal digital divide, the number of “.it “domain names were used as an indicator. From the comparison of the three statistical models applied, resulted that the Internet diffusion in the North is very developed compared to the Centre and South, and although the Centre and the North have a similar trend, the diffusion process is slower in the South. This confirmed the presence of an internal digital divide. A particular result arising from the application of Bass model is that, in Italy, potential users of the Internet are mostly “imitators” with respect to “innovators”. Furthermore, results show the presence of two imitator areas with different behaviors: the imitator area with higher income adopts technology faster, reaching in some times the same levels of Internet penetration of the innovative area and the point of inflection of the diffusion curve less than one year earlier than the innovative area and almost two years earlier than the imitator area with low income. However, the results show that in the long term the North (the area where the innovation coefficient is highest) continues to differentiate itself from the Centre and the South, increasing rather than decreasing the dd. This study can be useful to policymakers in order to take measures to overcome the dd, even in an industrialized country like Italy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"48 10","pages":"Article 102870"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656314","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}

Furthermore, it assesses the influence of ICT poverty on the risk of poverty or social exclusion in various geographic areas—cities, suburbs/towns, and rural regions—across 28 European countries. Employing a range of panel models, such as fixed/random effects and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the study uncovers significant positive associations between ICT poverty and absolute poverty and the risk of poverty or social exclusion across all geographic areas. Our research indicates that policies aimed at reducing ICT inequality—commonly known as the “digital divide\"—are more effective in alleviating poverty than those solely focused on promoting ICT development. Additionally, the study introduces a new policy framework, the ICTs-PGI Triangle, which offers a roadmap for policymakers to mitigate ICT poverty in both the Global South and North. The empirical results highlight the importance of providing equitable digital access and literacy, particularly in rural and marginalized areas, for sustainable poverty reduction.
