Free Download Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and the Law
English | 2024 | ISBN: 303141263X | 471 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This open access book presents an interdisciplinary, multi-authored, edited collection of chapters on Artificial Intelligence ('AI') and the Law. AI technology has come to play a central role in the modern data economy. Through a combination of increased computing power, the growing availability of data and the advancement of algorithms, AI has now become an umbrella term for some of the most transformational technological breakthroughs of this age. The importance of AI stems from both the opportunities that it offers and the challenges that it entails. While AI applications hold the promise of economic growth and efficiency gains, they also create significant risks and uncertainty. The potential and perils of AI have thus come to dominate modern discussions of technology and ethics - and although AI was initially allowed to largely develop without guidelines or rules, few would deny that the law is set to play a fundamental role in shaping the future of AI.As the debate over AI is far from over, the need for rigorous analysis has never been greater. This book thus brings together contributors from different fields and backgrounds to explore how the law might provide answers to some of the most pressing questions raised by AI. An outcome of the Católica Research Centre for the Future of Law and its interdisciplinary working group on Law and Artificial Intelligence, it includes contributions by leading scholars in the fields of technology, ethics and the law.

Free Download Multidisciplinary Aspects of Design: Objects, Processes, Experiences and Narratives
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031498100 | 796 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 171 MB
This open access book gathers the contributions from the Design! OPEN International Conference, held in Parma, Italy in May 2022. The conference explored the multidisciplinary aspects of design starting from its dimensions: objects (design as focused on the object, on its functional and symbolic dimension, and at the same time on the object as a tool for representing cultures), processes (the designer's self-reflective moment which is focused on the analysis and on the definition of processes in various contexts, spanning innovation, social engagement, reflection on emergencies or forecasting), experiences (design as a theoretical and practical strategy aimed at facilitating experiential interactions among people, people and objects or environments), and narratives (making history, representing through different media, archiving, narrating, and exhibiting design). The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.

Mitten im Trubel der Hamburger HafenCity wird Gabriel Otto, besser bekannt als Gallo, in der Tiefgarage seines Wohnhauses erschossen. Auch für Kriminalkommissarin Dorothee Anders ist Gallo kein Unbekannter. Seit Monaten hat er die Gastroszene der Hansestadt mit seinem Konzept der „radikalen Nachhaltigkeit" aufgemischt und für Schlagzeilen gesorgt. Je weiter sich Dorothee und ihr Kollege Ben Fleck in die Welt der Sterneküche begeben, desto klarer wird, dass sich Gallo auf seinem Weg nach ganz oben nicht nur Freunde gemacht hat.

Free Download Audrey Anton, "Moral Responsibility and Desert of Praise and Blame"
English | ISBN: 0739191756 | 2015 | 214 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book challenges a basic assumption held by many responsibility theorists: that agents must be morally responsible in the retrospective sense for anything in virtue of which they deserve praise or blame (the primacy assumption). Anton sets out to defeat this assumption by showing that accepting it as well as the much more intuitive causality assumption renders us incapable of making sense of cases whereby agents seem to deserve praise and blame. She argues that retrospective moral responsibility is a species of causal responsibility (the causality assumption). Then, she illustrates several examples in which agents are not causally responsible for any morally relevant consequences, but they seem to be deserving of praise or blame nonetheless. Anton concludes that such cases are counterexamples to the primacy assumption, and turns her attention towards discerning what grounds desert of praise and blame if not retrospective moral responsibility.
