Progress or Freedom by Jean-Hervé Lorenzi,Mickaël Berrebi Pdf
Technological dominance is shifting the balance of global economic stability. This is the central premise behind the latest book from Lorenzi and Berrebi who view the rise of artificial intelligence, robotics, use of private data, and genetic transformation, among other developments, culminating in new economic conditions that require a fresh sense of governance in order for society to sustain order. Whilst progress in technology provides numerous opportunities and hope, is the desire to pursue these ambitions in innovation putting our society at risk of being undermined and, ultimately, governed by technology firms? How will these changes affect economic outlooks in an age of growing inequality and aging populations? What role do politicians serve in facilitating these changes? The decline of a labour force, the use of Big Data and increased speeds of communication are but three examples that the authors address in their quest to understand where the limits should lie between progress and disruption for the future of society.
Transformational Technologies by Ravi Kumar Pillai Pdf
India is home to nearly a fifth of the global population, yet it contributes less than 4% of global GDP. The asymmetry between Gross and Per Capita GDP itself speaks volumes about the failure of the Indian State to ensure an equitable share of opportunities and provide structural enablement across the population. Human Capital deficiencies, such as skill-gaps viz-a-viz emerging technologies, low economic empowerment and rampant inequity douse the aspirations of the youth. In this milieu, digital technologies provide both challenges and opportunities for capacity building and upward social and economic mobility. India’s transformation to an upper-middle-income economy depends on our ability to effectively leverage the four E’s of development, namely Education, Electronics, Enterprise and Empowerment. Transformational Technologies introduces readers to a diverse range of disruptive technologies and highlights the enormous scope for ideation and action in enterprise, governance and academics.
Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age by Michael Boylan,Wanda Teays Pdf
Increasingly, technology, the Internet and social media are playing a major part in our lives. What should we think about the ethical issues that arise, such as the changing role of intelligent machines in this Information Age? The impact of technology upon society is a perennial question, but the power of computing and artificial intelligence has ratcheted up the ethical implications of this relationship. It merits careful consideration. Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age brings together a cohort of international scholars to explore the ethical ramifications of the latest technologies and their effects on our lives. This it does in three parts: (1) theoretical considerations, (2) practical applications, and (3) challenges. Beginning with theoretical essays, the book investigates the relationship between technology and nature, the limits of being “human” versus “machine,” and the moral implications of artificial intelligence. The book then examines key questions; such as ownership of technology, artificial intelligence’s replacement of human jobs and functions, privacy and cybersecurity, the ethics of self-driving cars, and the problematic aspects of drone warfare. With an appendix of films and documentaries to inspire further discussion on these topics, students and scholars will find Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age an essential and engaging resource both in the classroom and in their daily technology-filled lives.

Carbon Governance, Climate Change and Business Transformation by Adam Bumpus,James Tansey,Blas Luis Pérez Henríquez,Chukwumerije Okereke Pdf
Transformation to a low carbon economy is a central tenet to any discussion on the solutions to the complex challenges of climate change and energy security. Despite advances in policy, carbon management and continuing development of clean technology, fundamental business transformation has not occurred because of multiple political, economic, social and organisational issues. Carbon Governance, Climate Change and Business Transformation is based on leading academic and industry input, and three international workshops focused on low carbon transformation in leading climate policy jurisdictions (Canada, USA and the UK) under the international Carbon Governance Project (CGP) banner. The book pulls insights from this innovative collaborative network to identify the policy combinations needed to create transformative change. It explores fundamental questions about how governments and the private sector conceptualize the problem of climate change, the conditions under which business transformation can genuinely take place and key policy and business innovations needed. Broadly, the book is based on emerging theories of multi-levelled, multi-actor carbon governance, and applies these ideas to the real world implications for tackling climate change through business transformation. Conceptually and empirically, this book stimulates both academic discussion and practical business models for low carbon transformation.
