Abstract

Looking for ways to handle the transition to a digital economy Robots, artificial intelligence, and driverless cars are no longer things of the distant future. They are with us today and will become increasingly common in coming years, along with virtual reality and digital personal assistants. As these tools advance deeper into everyday use, they raise the question-how will they transform society, the economy, and politics? If companies need fewer workers due to automation and robotics, what happens to those who once held those jobs and don't have the skills for new jobs? And since many social benefits are delivered through jobs, how are people outside the workforce for a lengthy period of time going to earn a living and get health care and social benefits? Looking past today's headlines, political scientist and cultural observer Darrell M. West argues that society needs to rethink the concept of jobs, reconfigure the social contract, move toward a system of lifetime learning, and develop a new kind of politics that can deal with economic dislocations. With the U.S. governance system in shambles because of political polarization and hyper-partisanship, dealing creatively with the transition to a fully digital economy will vex political leaders and complicate the adoption of remedies that could ease the transition pain. It is imperative that we make major adjustments in how we think about work and the social contract in order to prevent society from spiraling out of control. This book presents a number of proposals to help people deal with the transition from an industrial to a digital economy. We must broaden the concept of employment to include volunteering and parenting and pay greater attention to the opportunities for leisure time. New forms of identity will be possible when the "job" no longer defines people's sense of personal meaning, and they engage in a broader range of activities. Workers will need help throughout their lifetimes to acquire new skills and develop new job capabilities. Political reforms will be necessary to reduce polarization and restore civility so there can be open and healthy debate about where responsibility lies for economic well-being. This book is an important contribution to a discussion about tomorrow-one that needs to take place today.
... Moreover, equity and inclusion policies are crucial to ensure that every student, including individuals with disabilities or from marginalized communities, can access AI-driven educational resources, making certain that no one gets overlooked. Additionally, data privacy policies should create explicit rules regarding data collection, usage, and protection to secure student information and uphold trust in AI applications [8]. Ultimately, policies regarding teacher-AI collaboration ought to promote the incorporation of AI tools in educational settings, while safeguarding human supervision, guaranteeing that AI acts as a supplement instead of a substitute for educators. ...

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across sectors necessitates frameworks that assess not only technological adoption but also ethical alignment and cultural readiness. This paper introduces the AI Readiness Prism, a multi-dimensional model developed to address the gaps in existing AI governance frameworks. The Prism evaluates organisations on three critical axes: AI Integration, Ethical and Regulatory Alignment, and Cultural Readiness. It was developed through a combination of qualitative interviews with leaders, employees, educators and students at 27 institutions across private, public, government, and educational sectors, as well as insights from a doctoral study on AI in tertiary education. A thematic analysis of these interviews informed the construction of the Prism, identifying key variables and challenges in AI adoption. The standard questions and associated eight-point Likert scale used in this model captures stakeholder perceptions across these axes, providing organisations with actionable insights into their AI maturity. This paper outlines the development of the AI Readiness Prism, its application in a university pilot study, and the implications for improving AI governance and strategy across sectors. The findings demonstrate that by addressing gaps in stakeholder alignment, ethical governance, and cultural readiness, organisations can better position themselves for sustainable AI adoption.

Purpose-The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and employee performance in Uganda's healthcare institutions, with a specific focus on exploring the mediating effects of perceived ease of use (PEOU) and skills enhancement. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare operations, understanding how these factors influence employee performance is crucial for optimizing the implementation of AI technologies. Design/methodology/approach-A quantitative research design was employed to examine the relationships among AI, PEOU, skills enhancement and employee performance. Data were collected from a sample of 185 healthcare professionals working in Uganda's healthcare institutions through a structured questionnaire. Smart PLS-structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data and test the proposed mediation model. Findings-The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between AI and employee performance. Furthermore, both PEOU and skills enhancement were found to mediate the relationship between AI and employee performance. Specifically, AI was positively related to PEOU, which in turn was positively associated with employee performance. Similarly, AI positively influenced skills enhancement, which also positively impacted employee performance. Practical implications-The findings of this study suggest that healthcare institutions should focus on enhancing the perceived ease of use of AI technologies and investing in skills development programs to maximize the benefits of AI on employee performance. By designing user-friendly AI systems and providing continuous training, healthcare organizations can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their workforce. This approach can lead to better patient outcomes and operational efficiencies in the healthcare sector. Originality/value-This study contributes to the existing literature by integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) and resource-based view (RBV) theory to explore the mediating roles of PEOU and skills enhancement in the context of AI adoption in healthcare. It provides empirical evidence from Uganda, a developing country context, thereby extending the understanding of AI's impact on employee performance in diverse healthcare settings. The study's findings highlight the critical importance of user perceptions and skill development in the successful implementation of AI technologies.

Abstract This study explores the concept of culture through the metaphor of an iceberg, contrasting visible and hidden elements. Rooted in intercultural communication and organizational behavior research, this framework underscores that deeper cultural values, beliefs, and assumptions—rather than overt expressions like language or customs—are substantial in shaping behavior. By applying this model to the demographic of international students in higher education, this analysis emphasizes the challenges students face against these often unseen cultural differences. Specifically, the document utilizes a mixedmethods approach, incorporating surveys, interviews, and focus groups with approximately 200 international students, to identify key cultural challenges in higher education. Moreover, effective support systems and institutional strategies promoting intercultural recognition are crucial for fostering inclusion as well as academic success. This analysis aims to deepen understanding beyond surface-level observations, providing a foundation for enhancing the experiences of international students in higher intellectual learning. Potential results include identifying context-specific cultural misunderstandings and effective assistance strategies, leading to recommendations for enhanced language programs, mentorship initiatives, in along with culturally sensitive curricula. Ultimately, this study highlights the importance of addressing both visible and hidden cultural dimensions to create more inclusive and supportive academic environments for international students.

Abstract In The Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard argues that spaces are physical environments that can serve as repositories of memory, dreams, and psychological depth. Through a phenomenological approach, he justifies how these physical spaces transcend their materiality, become deeply personal and symbolic, and shape our inner worlds as they evoke feelings of security, nostalgia, and creativity. Drawing on the focus on the intimate, emotional, and symbolic significance of spaces perceived and internalised by literary characters, this study situates confined spaces within the framework of genre hybridisation, cultural exchange, and performative aesthetics. By examining spatial motifs as narrative devices and intermedial elements, this paper argues that the physically confined and symbolically resonant environments in the plays under study function as powerful metaphors for convergent yet distinct critiques of identity, class, and gender. These critiques, in turn, reflect and reveal the social, psychological, and existential tensions interrogated by each playwright. To this end, A Doll’s House (1879), The Cherry Orchard (1903), and A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) will be scrutinised to probe the manifestation of spatial claustrophobia, which is born of a fusion of realism, modernism, and symbolism, as a multifaceted dramatic and symbolic element that evolves across diverse cultural and temporal contexts. Ibsen’s use of domestic interiors reflects the social constraints and individual agency that set the stage for psychological realism in selected works. Through the symbolism of rural estates, Chekhov expands upon this motif and bridges the realms of realism and early modernist existentialism, illustrating immobility and unfulfilled desires. Williams transforms these approaches into a distinctly modernist framework, using Southern Gothic spaces to intensify emotional tension and expose the personal and societal fractures. Hence, the study aspires to not only trace the evolution of confined spaces as dynamic tools that generate dramatic tension and profound symbolic meaning but also compare how these playwrights harness these physical backdrops as potent metaphors for the interwoven realms of social, psychological, and existential entrapment.

Intelligent systems based on Machine Learning have achieved remarkable performance rates in a wide range of tasks from many domains. However, understanding why an algorithm makes a particular decision is still an open question in the research area. When applied in sensible environments, which may cause an impact on the life and welfare of its users, the learning-based models raise some problems. The complex nature of these methods decision mechanisms makes them the so-called black boxes, from which it is not trivial for humans to understand the logic behind the decision-making process of the models. Furthermore, in some contexts, the reasoning that led a model to provide some specific prediction is more important than the accuracy, thus introducing a trade-off between interpretability and model accuracy. Providing explanations to computer-aided systems decisions can be seen as a way to justify their reliability, besides providing an effective tool for checking and correcting errors previously hidden within learning models, opening up an avenue of possibilities for responsible applications. The eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) research has proposed a number of approaches in this context, being feature attribution techniques of particular interest due to their ability to characterize the importance of particular features on the model decision. However, the lead solutions in such domain suffer from instability, i.e., distinct explanations may result from each application of the explanation method on the same data instance. In this scenario, this Ph.D. research aims to contribute to Machine Learning explainability by proposing a new XAI method called T-Explainer, a Taylor expansion-based technique that holds a set of desirable properties, such as local accuracy and consistency, while still being stable in its explanations. Finally, the results demonstrate T-Explainers effectiveness through benchmarking experiments and comparisons against state-of-the-art references in feature attribution.

Employment is the foundation of social stability and a key factor for economic stability and sustainable development. With the rapid advancement of technology, the impact of technological progress on employment has become a focal point of academic attention. As an emerging industry, the healthcare sector has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by the widespread application of scientific and technological innovations. However, at the same time, these advancements have also exerted a significant influence on employment within the healthcare sector. To address this issue, this paper utilizes panel data from publicly listed healthcare firms in the United States between 2013 and 2023. It innovatively measures technological progress through Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and employs a two-way fixed effects model to empirically analyze the impact of technological progress on employment in the healthcare sector from a microeconomic perspective. The findings indicate that a 1% increase in technological progress in the healthcare sector leads to an average 0.116% rise in employment levels. This conclusion remains robust after conducting rigorous robustness checks and addressing endogeneity concerns, with the output effect playing a significant role in this process. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that technological progress significantly promotes employment across various sub-sectors, though the magnitude of this effect varies only slightly among industries. Furthermore, the employment-promoting effect of technological progress is more pronounced in larger firms and those with a higher proportion of fixed assets. Therefore, policies should actively support the improvement of technology levels and management efficiency within the healthcare sector, fully leveraging the potential of technological progress to promote employment, and achieve sustainable development for both the healthcare sector and societal employment.
... The importance of understanding these developments cannot be overemphasized. As AI technologies evolve, they are not just tools but integral parts of decision-making processes, product development, and customer interactions (West, 2018). The researcher believes that failing to study these trends could disadvantage businesses considerably. ...
... These funds finance infrastructure development, public education, and environmental mitigation efforts, underscoring the sector's strategic role beyond hydrocarbons. For energy-producing states such as Texas, North Dakota, and New Mexico, oil and gas taxes constitute a significant share of total budgetary income, often exceeding 20% in high-production periods [3]. ...
... • Technological literacy: West (2018) argues that everyone will need a solid understanding of AI, data, and digital systems to navigate a society saturated with technology. This doesn't mean everyone must be a coder, but basic literacy in how algorithms work, data privacy, and digital collaboration is crucial both for employability in remaining tech-integrated jobs and for informed citizenship (e.g., understanding algorithmic decisions that affect one's life). ...

This review paper examines the emerging field of Post-Labor Economics, which analyzes economic structures and possibilities in a future where technological progress, particularly artificial intelligence, substantially reduces or eliminates the need for human labor. Unlike traditional labor economics, which focuses on employment transformation, Post-Labor Economics begins with the premise that human labor will largely disappear rather than merely shift between sectors. It concludes by assessing these interconnected dimensions to establish a basis for further exploration of a potentially transformative economic shift for humanity, while recognizing varied perspectives on the inevitability and desirability of post-labor futures.

This study examines the changing cyber strategy of China in the Indo-Pacific between 2020 and 2024 through the theory of cyber deterrence as the major analytical framework. Since China is declaring itself a digital power, its strategy of cybersecurity, based on deterrence by denial, punishment, and delegitimization, portrays a transformation of reactive defense into proactive dominance. This change can be seen in some prominent cyber activities like Volt Typhoon, and enactment of cyber regulation like the Cybersecurity Law (2017) and Network Data Security Regulation (2024). This paper aims to examine how China employs cyber capabilities and legal systems to keep away the U.S. influence, and promotes its cyber sovereignty model to regional partners, including Indonesia, Vietnam, and Pakistan, via initiatives, such as the Digital Silk Road. Using the cyber deterrence theory, the paper has illuminated the two-pronged approach by China; its offensive capacity that is enhanced by the AI, quantum computing, and 5G dominance, and the defensive systems that are executed through stringent digital policies. In important findings, it is seen that the cyber posture of China is not only causing a shift in threat perception in the region but is also complicating U.S. led counter measures via AUKUS, the Quad and domestic legislation such as the Secure Equipment Act (2021). These U.S. responses are, however, hampered by disjointed regional interests, asymmetries in technology and lack of multilateral coordination. The paper adds to the academic discussion the application of the deterrence theory to a non-Western authoritarian cyber model and the necessarily imminent construction of coherent and resilient cybersecurity frameworks. It advice the Indo-Pacific stakeholders to focus on strategic cyber diplomacy and collective governance to maintain a digital stability in a competitive geopolitical environment.
