Accessible explanations are crucial, as accessibility in technology promotes digital inclusion and allows everyone, regardless of their physical, sensory, or cognitive abilities, to use these technologies effectively. This paper presents a systematic literature review of the research on the accessibility of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), specifically considering individuals with sight loss. Our methodology includes searching several academic databases with search terms to capture intersections between XAI and accessibility. The results of this survey highlight the lack of research on accessible XAI (AXAI) and stress the importance of including the disability community in XAI development to promote digital inclusion and accessibility and remove barriers. Most XAI techniques rely on visual explanations, such as heatmaps or graphs, which are inaccessible to individuals who are blind or have low vision. Therefore, it is necessary to develop explanation methods through non-visual modalities, such as auditory and tactile feedback; visual modalities accessible to persons with low vision; and personalized solutions that meet the needs of individuals, including those with multiple disabilities. We further emphasize the importance of integrating universal design principles into AI development practices to ensure that AI technologies are usable for everyone. We conclude the paper by discussing what constitutes a good explanation and desiderata for AXAI implementations.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"7 1","pages":"60-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147440696","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}

In doing so, they cited evidence already documented by numerous scholars and advocates regarding how traditional expectations about safeguarding the ownership of completed work could no longer be assured. Yet, shocking authors and artists, the commission continued onwards to propose that the legal concept of “fair use” can be interpreted as allowing tech companies to freely use copyrighted material to train artificial intelligence (AI) models even without explicit consent [2]. Even while raising the possibility that this concession for tech companies would come at the expense of copyright owners, the commission acknowledged that the local economies of AI innovation might still feel no benefit whatsoever: “At present, large AI models are trained overseas, not in Australia. It is unclear whether the introduction of a [text and data mining] TDM exception would change this trend” [1, p. 28]. It is easy to see the injustice of giving away the rights of authors and artists to their work and (meagre) livelihoods, especially when doing so doesn’t even promise direct payoffs back to Australian workers.

DTs and CPSs share some core similarities, both are fundamentally based on data, and both have simulation capabilities. However, they differ in their specific applications and developmental approaches in PESs. Correct understanding of these differences is crucial in order to utilise their individual advantages and tackle their individual challenges. Therefore, this paper provides a systematic review of DTs and CPS, focusing on their distinct capabilities, applications, benefits, and challenges. Further, this paper describes the roles of these technologies in digitalisation of PESs, along with the impacts and considerations necessary for their effective implementation.

In urban environments, where skyscrapers and residential neighborhoods coexist, drones must navigate complex landscapes while avoiding inadvertent surveillance of private spaces. Reports of drones capturing footage of homes have heightened public distrust, with a 2023 study indicating 68% of city residents fear privacy violations. This article explores the multifaceted challenges of urban drone route planning, including the proximity of residential zones, dynamic privacy risks, and regulatory inconsistencies. We review innovative technologies addressing these issues: geofencing establishes no-fly zones over residences but is limited by outdated maps and GPS inaccuracies; AI-powered path optimization prioritizes non-residential routes, though constrained by data quality and computational demands; camera controls, such as automated shutters and real-time image blurring, aim to prevent surveillance but face algorithmic errors and hardware costs; and real-time environmental sensing, using LiDAR and radar, avoids obstacles but struggles with urban interference and high costs. Regulatory frameworks, like FAA and EASA guidelines, and initiatives by various authorities enforce privacy-focused routing. Ethical practices and community engagement will foster public trust and equitable access. Despite significant advancements, limitations like data inaccuracies, cost barriers, and public perception issues persist. As urban air mobility expands, integrating technology, regulation, and ethics will be essential to balance efficiency and privacy, ensuring drones enhance urban life without compromising resident rights.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"7 1","pages":"78-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147440618","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}

Academic circles, industry players, and Standard Developing Organizations (SDOs) are already engaged in early standardization discussions for the system, providing key insights for future technical specifications. In this context, a structured thematic review of literature contributions aligned with IMT-2030 is essential to inform the discussions and assist collaboration among 6G stakeholders—including scholars, professionals, regulators, and SDO officials. This article adopts a semi-systematic methodology to identify, analyze, and synthesize 6G literature across five core thematic areas: (1) 6G Vision, (2) Use Cases, Performance Requirements, and Architectural Trends (3) Enabling Technologies, (4) Impact on Vertical Sectors, and (5) the 6G Research Frontier. The core themes follow an evolution-oriented structure that mirrors the transition from 5G to 6G, in line with the design principles, use cases, technical capabilities, and technological trends outlined for IMT-2030. To ensure coverage of well-established contributions, the article screens literature published between 2019 and 2025 using IEEE Xplore and Scopus databases, prioritizing highly cited papers, seminal white papers, and early SDO documentation aligned with the IMT-2030 framework. This approach balances breadth and depth, allowing for a representative overview of the field. By combining structured screening with thematic synthesis, this article delivers a concise yet comprehensive account of 6G literature for both specialists and generalists engaged in shaping future standards and advancing 6G research.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"6 4","pages":"377-392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145814505","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}

We explore the digital afterlife of #MeToo to examine how feminist storytelling is fragmented, co-opted, and erased in an era of surveillance capitalism and reactionary backlash. The paper suggests that as digital infrastructures increasingly determine which voices are heard, believed, and silenced, feminist discourse is being reshaped by forces beyond traditional activism and backlash. To make this argument, we analyze case studies of machine learning misogyny, including AI companions, pro-natalist reproductive tech, and content moderation tools, to illustrate the resurgence of gendered and racialized control. Through critiques of platform governance and case studies of technological co-optation, this article asks: what forms of feminist resistance remain possible in an era of digital precarity? Drawing on scholars, activists, and speculative futures, we propose feminist reimagining rooted in consent, care, and coalition. Ultimately, we argue that feminist survival in the digital age requires resisting not only institutional erasure but also the seductions of surface-level technological reform.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"6 4","pages":"481-494"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145814490","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}

However, transitioning to a fully RES-based power system presents challenges related to technical feasibility, socio-political implications, economic factors, and geographical differences. This study examines the feasibility of such a transition from multiple dimensions, including the technical integration and stability of RES technologies, social acceptance, political landscape (policy design and regulatory frameworks), and geographical factors such as resource availability and regional demand. A systematic literature review, combined with a case study of the Integrated Nordic Power System (INPS), provides insights into these challenges. INPS is selected for its complexity and its representation of a large-scale, multi-country power system. The findings highlight the key role of region-specific strategies, stakeholder engagement, and strong policy and regulatory support in enabling successful renewable energy transitions. The INPS case study demonstrates how regional cooperation can help address geographical and political disparities, offering valuable lessons for global applications. Despite the challenges, transitioning to a fully RES-based power system presents significant benefits, including environmental sustainability, socioeconomic development, and long-term cost reductions. Achieving this transition requires substantial investment, technological advancements, strategic management, and global collaboration, highlighting the necessity of long-term political commitment and stakeholder consensus.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"6 4","pages":"358-373"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145814491","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}
