A nationally representative sample of U.S. adults (<em>N</em> = 1115) was randomly exposed to the description of an AI-RT application — virtual reality, chatbot, or deepfake — to gauge variations in public attitude and behavioral intention. The findings reveal a nuanced understanding of public sentiment towards AI-RTs. Factors such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived benefit, positive emotions, and negative emotions emerged as significant influencers of both attitude towards and intention to use AI-RTs.

Previous studies have linked firm digitalization to innovation performance; however, less attention has been given to ambidextrous innovation and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which play a vital role in economic development. Based on a knowledge-based view (KBV), this research investigates the relationship between digitalization and ambidextrous innovation in Chinese publicly listed SMEs. We found that digitalization promotes radical innovation more significantly than incremental innovation of listed SMEs. We further observed that firm digitalization and highly educated employees with a master's degree or above have a complementary effect on radical innovation, and the financial background of firms' top management team (TMT) members strengthens strengthens this complementary effect. This study not only enriches the digitalization–innovation performance relationship literature, but also contributes to the KBV by tying together three vital elements (technology, people, and relational networks) in the KBV and examining their relationships with ambidextrous innovation. It also has implications for managers of SMEs related to increasing the innovation returns from digitalization endeavors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102656"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141604987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study is undertaken to investigate how ChatGPT usage can enhance information and communication technology (ICT) accessibility and performance by influencing life satisfaction among higher education students by proposing a unique conceptual model. The primary data were collected from 305 respondents, and quantitative methodology was used to analyse the data. The results indicate that interaction with ChatGPT increases freedom and productivity by producing understandable and relevant responses that meet emotional needs, which are positively correlated with happiness. ChatGPT usage provides unique experiences to students that evoke their feelings to strengthen academic engagement, and such feelings positively influence their perceptions and behaviour towards academic buoyancy. However, the concerns about the biased response, limited knowledge, and lack of emotional intelligence of ChatGPT limit trustworthiness and cause disengagement, which have been deemed the most significant weaknesses in improving quality of life.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102655"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141604988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, it is crucial for all stakeholders to examine the state of research in this domain. We aim to examine the core value-adding governance mechanisms through a systematic scoping literature review. We propose an overarching conceptual framework that integrates the drivers of governance mechanisms with the outcomes of effective misinformation governance. Additionally, the framework illustrates the moderation role of platform monitoring efficiency for effective governance.

Here, we aimed for the first time to assess the data quality of Cognitive-Affective Maps (CAMs). To assess whether the findings of CAM studies are due to measurement errors or due to a real effect, we aimed for a quantitative as well as qualitative test-retest reliability approach. Participants (62 in total) drew a CAM online on their cognitions, emotions and experiences regarding the topic \"Universal Basic Income\" twice with delays of the two measurement time points ranging from 7 to 24 days. Assuming that the evaluation of this topic is driven by values, a stable psychological measurement construct, we presume a high test-retest reliability. Pearson's Product-Moment-Correlations and Spearman's Rank Correlations of CAM parameters show quantitative test-retest reliabilities up to 0.78. Furthermore, two raters identified on average 52 % of repeated or at least semantically similar concepts drawn by the participants between the two measurement time points.

The results highlight four critical themes in this socio-technical transition: initial conditions, SME business model discourse, cybersecurity provider business model discourse, and transition outcomes. The transition underpins a mode of governance, blending elements of oligopoly and self-regulation, characterized by the dominance of key cybersecurity firms and a more facilitative role of state actors.
