The current approaches to providing security and safety to users are limited. Online attacks (e.g., identity theft) and data breaches are causing real-world harms to individuals and communities, resulting in financial instability, loss of healthcare benefits, or even access to housing, among other undesirable outcomes. The resulting challenges are expected to be amplified, given the increased capabilities of AI and its deployment in professional, public, and private spheres. As such, there is a need for a new formulation of these challenges that considers the complex social, technical, and environmental dimensions and factors that shape both the opportunities and threats for AI in cybersecurity. Through an exploration and application of the socio-technical approach, which highlights the significance and value of participatory practices, we can generate new ways of conceptualising the challenges of AI in cybersecurity contexts. This paper will identify and elaborate on key issues, in the form of both gaps and opportunities, that need to be addressed by various stakeholders, while exploring substantive approaches to addressing the gaps and capitalizing on the opportunities at the micro/meso/macro levels, which in turn will inform decision-making processes. This paper offers approaches for responding to public interest security, safety, and privacy challenges arising from complex AI in cybersecurity issues in open socio-technical systems.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"6 1","pages":"15-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on the increasing dependence of financial institutions on three CSPs for critical business services, highlighting the emergent issue of “cloud concentration risks.” The paper explores various factors influencing technological decisions in financial institutions, including events and the regulatory environment. The advantages of cloud computing, and the potential risks associated with CSPs transitioning their business models from growth-centric to value-oriented strategies are also discussed. Furthermore, CSPs are contending with rising operational costs and diminishing profit margins, compelling them to adopt cost-saving measures such as prolonging the lifecycles of hardware components. This analysis also considers the implications of potential increases in cloud computing costs and the financial burden of migrating services, underscoring significant challenges faced by financial institutions in this evolving landscape.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"6 1","pages":"80-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Companies provide apps for download allowing users of any age to experience them through smartphones and tablets among other devices. To date, company policies have acted as pseudo-guidelines for recommended use. But what happens when apps that were never designed for children are acquired and used by them? To mitigate potential risks the IEEE 2089–2021 standard was developed- an age appropriate digital services framework for children. The standard stipulates the need for a risk-based age appropriate register by which developers can do away with potential intolerable harms on children during the design phase, and keep track of unintended hazards, in order to counteract ongoing negative impacts on children, allowing them to thrive and flourish. Supplementing international law, state regulations, and company policies related to acceptable use, IEEE 2089–2021 provides a benchmark for how children’s apps should be designed based on the 5Rights Principles. Technical standards can be considered a type of soft law, supplementing hard law like treaties or acts, and even non-legally binding instruments like declarations and policies. Together this panoply of safeguards can mitigate the potential for flaws in product development, ranging from data privacy breaches, location tracking default features, nudging toward in-gaming purchases and autoscrolling, child labor toward data annotation, and adverse metaverse experiences. But given the rapidity of product development cycles, it is technical standards that can have the most immediate effect on the pacing problem ensuring that child rights impact assessments (CRIA) are implemented in practice.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"5 4","pages":"342-354"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142397505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, AI technologies offer unprecedented capacities to analyze huge amounts of historical data, enabling researchers and art historians to uncover precious patterns, connections, and insights that might otherwise remain elusive. Also, the efficiency and accuracy of AI techniques play a pivotal role in many cultural heritage-related tasks, such as cataloging and organizing extensive cultural collections, streamlining the management of heritage resources for present and future generations. However, the integration of AI in cultural heritage also brings forth intricate ethical questions. These span over the issues of authenticity, subjectivity, and interpretation biases of an AI-empowered, reproduced, and/or generated artwork up to the legal concerns related to authorship. However, such issues are mostly undefined and unaddressed in the scholarship at the intersection on AI, ethics, and cultural heritage. This paper aims to pave the way to fill such a gap of context-sensitive ethical issues for AI in cultural heritage. To this aim, the paper first analyzes the main opportunities and benefits raised by AI in cultural heritage. Then, matching benchmark, agreed-upon AI ethics principles elaborated in the AI ethics scholarship in the last decade and relevant to cultural heritage, it highlights specific ethical risks that ought to be considered for the development and deployment of trustworthy AI in and for cultural heritage. Finally, areas requiring further attention and work, and actors call to intervene, are identified to facilitate next steps for ethics and governance of AI in cultural heritage.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"5 3","pages":"293-305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10680564","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142246576","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}

As the world undergoes a digital transformation where contactless and frictionless are promoted as two aspects that should be honored, many academics are questioning both the frenetic deployment of digital transformation in learning and teaching environments (e.g., face-to-face classrooms, library and academic office spaces, and laboratories, virtual/hybrid modalities, etc.) and its corresponding validity to students. Indeed, little consultation seems to have taken place with the necessary stakeholders, such as academics, students, instructional designers and pedagogical experts, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather, discussions and decisions appear to have been reactive regarding which modalities of teaching delivery might be the best in a given context, based on operational scenarios directly linked to financials, such as student recruitment trends, and local legislative changes affecting international students. Furthermore, many academic faculty and a great number of corresponding auxiliary staff have found themselves in the unemployment queue. This paper seeks to present the possibilities that AI-based systems may bring to higher education, but in so doing, point to the harmonization required to offer the most appropriate solutions to the needs of both students and teachers, as well as university administration. Education is not a commodity, although it has been treated as one. We are not advocating for an open market which offers “free education” for all, though we wish for everyone to have adequate access to education. But we are certainly advocating for a future in which students and teachers are central to the learning and teaching environment, not relegated to a passive role nor exploited. This article uses Shiv Ramdas’ short science fiction story, “The Trolley Solution”, to work through the future possibilities of AI in higher education.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"5 3","pages":"264-271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10666816","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142235663","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}
