Ethics in the AI, Technology, and Information Age by Michael Boylan (Editor); Wanda Teays (Editor)ISBN: 1538160749
Publication Date: 2022
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.

The Roles of Independent Children's Rights Institutions in Advancing Human Rights of Children by Agnes Lux and Brian Gran eds.ISBN: 9781801176095
Publication Date: 2022
Independent children's rights institutions (ICRIs) have been established across the world. Endorsed by the UN, they are independent of their governments and endowed with legal powers. Yet we know little about how ICRIs function. How do they work? What impacts their success? What objectives do ICRIs seek to achieve? The contributors to this edited collection provide first-hand experiences in directing, working for, and studying ICRIs and detail their unique, in-depth accounts of factors shaping ICRIs' efforts to monitor and advance children's rights. Chapters examine ICRIs in Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Pakistan, and the United States, as well as an extraordinary network of ICRIs, and introduce innovative ideas of how to think about ICRIs' independence and legal powers. Offering perspectives from across the world, this volume provides both theoretical and practical insights on a crucial element of children's rights, independent children's rights institutions. The Roles of Independent Children's Rights Institutions in Advancing Human Rights of Childrenis essential reading for students, researchers, and scholars interested in studies of sociology of childhood, law and society, children's rights, and human rights.
