DWF involves fishing activities conducted in waters beyond Taiwan’s territorial limits, and it is crucial to ensure fair and ethical treatment of the fishermen involved. The analysis of fisherman exploitation entails a comprehensive examination of various factors contributing to labor abuses. This includes investigating working conditions, working hours, payment practices, living conditions aboard fishing vessels, and overall treatment of the fishermen. Evaluating whether these practices comply with local and international labor standards, human rights principles, and relevant regulations is essential. Human action recognition (HAR) involves the use of computer vision algorithms to automatically identify and classify actions being performed by humans in videos or images. HAR technology can analyze footage from DWF vessels and identify actions indicating labor exploitation or abuse. It is essential to address the issue of exploitation and abuse in Taiwan’s DWF industry \u0000<xref>[1]</xref>\u0000, \u0000<xref>[2]</xref>\u0000. Lewis et al. \u0000<xref>[16]</xref>\u0000 explored using “AI” and face recognition as both a speech act and a technological tool for monitoring workers or intimidating migrants and protesters. While this concept has been implemented in various systems, our primary focus is developing a system to detect and address long work-hour exploitation.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50415681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As attackers continually evolve their tactics, addressing cybersecurity challenges has become paramount, especially in sensitive domains like the military and defense industries. This article delves into the challenges that artificial intelligence (AI) faces in the military domain, specifically focusing on defense applications. We review AI algorithms relevant to defense, examining their potential applications and benefits: much of this study revolves around cybersecurity in defense applications, particularly within cyber-physical systems (CPS). We explore reinforcement learning (RL) and deep RL (DRL) algorithms in CPS, aiming to enhance understanding of the cybersecurity implications in this domain. In this context, we present RL and DRL algorithms employed in cyber-attacks and their potential threats and vulnerabilities. Furthermore, we discuss how RL and DRL algorithms can be effectively leveraged for cyber-attack detection and defense applications, providing usable insights into bolstering CPS cybersecurity. By addressing both technical aspects and ethical considerations, this article offers a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities surrounding cybersecurity in defense applications.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50415811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
