Writing Human in the Age of AI

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book examines how artificial intelligence systems and their applications in security and defence are entangled with governance and policy processes in the EU. Combining concepts and insights from (critical) security studies and science and technology studies, it argues that behind the various AI-related policy initiatives in the EU are particular narratives on security and defence based on European fears of technological innovation and strategic gaps. In this respect, the book casts light on how such beliefs have become increasingly instrumentalized in the European governance dynamics, and subsequently embedded in successive policy initiatives and security and defence research programmes. It challenges conventional understandings of AI technologies as mere security and defence-enabling instruments, by providing a conceptually driven analysis of how certain visions of AI help govern and control one of the most dynamic emergent socio-technical fields. The book will appeal to all those interested in artificial intelligence, security studies, technology and European governance.&nbsp;

Human factors has always been at the heart of aviation, shaping its evolution from the earliest days of flight to the modern era of advanced technology. Despite the progress in aircraft design and automation, the human element remains a critical factor in ensuring safety and efficiency in aviation operations. This book looks at the significance of human factors, emphasizing that while the tools and environments may change, the role of people in delivering aviation services will only grow in importance. From the lessons of past incidents to the challenges of future innovations, this book sees the role of human understanding in navigating the complex world of the aviation industry.This title is an introductory text for newcomers and a reference guide for those already established in the aviation industry. Readers will find a comprehensive exploration of human factors in aviation which features real-world case studies and insights from experienced industry professionals. It examines the causes and consequences of human error, the strategies employed to mitigate risks, and the Safety Management Systems (SMS) that aim to enhance operational safety. Each chapter is designed to provide practical knowledge, supported by case studies that reinforce key concepts and encourage critical thinking. By bridging academic research with industry expertise, this book gives readers the tools to understand, address, and ultimately reduce human factor-related incidents, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to improve aviation safety and performance.Aviation Operations and Human Factors: A Case-Based Approach is an essential read for human factors specialists, aviation professionals, students in civil aviation programs, and anyone with a vested interest in the safety and efficiency of the aviation sector. Its appeal extends to pilots, air traffic controllers and aviation engineers.

A Case-Based Approach

Aviation Operations and Human Factors

Reciprocity begins with a simple but unsettling question: why have we come to believe that human beings are naturally self-interested, competitive and acquisitive? This galvanising, perspective-shifting book dismantles the myth of Homo economicus to show us the way towards a world whose realities align with our true selves.Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, evolutionary biology, psychology, economics and social epidemiology, Richard Wilkinson demonstrates that the characteristics which we assume to be our human nature are in fact effects of the market societies we live in. He traces how various systems of exchange have created profoundly different forms of social life throughout the course of history, shaping our behaviours, motivations, and the kinds of people we become. Though it may often feel like it, the avarice and oppressions that defines the twenty-first century are not an unchangeable reality we simply have to live with.The book explains why inequality, status competition and consumerism hold so much power over us and reveals the depths to which these forces are entwined with the ever-rising crises of mental illness, political polarisation and environmental destruction. Rather than asking how we can make individuals behave better, it makes a compelling case for restructuring our societies to make life happier, meaningful and more fulfilling for one and all.Rigorously researched, bracingly practical and full of passion and hope in equal measure, Reciprocity offers a bold reinterpretation of the world we live in. It equips us with the necessary tools to look beyond and remake it in our very own, amiably human image.

This book provides a concise and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development, examining its historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary governance challenges. It traces the emergence of sustainability from early ecological warnings to its institutionalization through international frameworks, demonstrating how sustainable development has become a central organizing principle of global policy.Organized around seven thematic chapters, the book covers the conceptual and legal foundations of sustainability, its core governance principles, socio-technical transition pathways, property and commons theory, global sustainability finance, and the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence for development. Each chapter integrates legal analysis, governance theory, and, in some cases, real-world case studies to show how sustainability principles move from rhetoric to enforceable norms. Key features include accessible chapter abstracts, a comprehensive list of abbreviations, and a structured list of figures supporting visual learning. The book approaches sustainable development not as a technical toolkit but as a political and institutional challenge requiring systemic reform.The volume is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental studies, law, governance, economics, and public policy, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability transitions, international environmental law, and development governance.

Governance, Law, and Global Transitions

A Concise Introduction to Sustainable Development

When was the last time you thought something through by yourself, without a screen? The brain rot happens quietly. You stop drafting emails and start approving them. You cannot answer a question without checking your phone. You stop wrestling with the idea and start accepting the summary. Every shortcut feels like a win until you've outsourced your mind to machines that don't doubt, don't feel, and don't care. The atrophy is subtle; the cost is staggering. It's the promotion lost to the person who can still reason out loud. It's your child freezing at an open-ended question because no one ever let her sit in the discomfort of not knowing. We are becoming a generation that prompts brilliantly and thinks almost nothing, and it feels so good we don't even notice. Use Your Brain is a field guide for sharpening your creativity and original thinking when the generic answer is always a tap away, whether it's in the boardroom or around the kitchen table. From CEOs to artists to students to parents, the most effective navigators of the modern era have one thing in common: they aren't afraid to pick up a new tool, but they know exactly when to put it down and think for themselves. Drawing on years of research, globally-recognized leadership expert Erica Dhawan delivers common-sense habits for protecting your judgment that you can start building tonight. You will learn how to catch yourself on autopilot before you act, how to interrogate an answer that looks finished, how to separate signal from noise under pressure, and how to own a decision instead of laundering it through a machine. The window to keep your edge is still open, but not for long.

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The next choice we make is the last chance we have. Ten thousand years ago, wild cats wandered into a human grain store. Over generations, gorged with a plentiful supply of prey, they traded their raw instincts for a life of dependency as our household pets. Today, domestic cats are more comfortable than ever but they can no longer hunt effectively. Their brains are 16% smaller than their distant ancestors. They are domesticated. AI is turning the modern world into a cognitive grain store. And we are the cats. In this groundbreaking and vital book, leading AI researcher and campaigner James F. Ryan charts our relationship with transformative technologies - from writing to AI - and explains why this time it's different. Large language models like ChatGPT are not just tools, but are remaking our brains and eroding our ability to think. From the workplace and our relationships to our schools and universities, we face an urgent battle to safeguard human thought. The Domestication sets out the evidence, the imposing challenge we face, and how we respond.
