Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable
Infrastructure and Environmental Systems

Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Infrastructure and Environmental Systems

Towards 2030

The Art Law Library

This open access book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic. In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the 'clashes with copyright'. The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories. The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences. The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Clashes with Copyright Law

Digitising Cultural Heritage

How AI is transforming consulting and professional services, plus a new model for the future.Artificial intelligence has disrupted the world of expertise. Work that once required teams of highly trained professionals--research, analysis, modeling, and drafting--can now be completed in seconds. For consulting firms, law firms, accounting practices, and other professional-service organizations, the implications are profound. The very activities that have long generated revenue, developed talent, and sustained competitive advantage are rapidly being transformed. How do firms built on human expertise create value in a world where machines can now think alongside us?In The Future of Expertise, innovation expert David Duncan offers a compelling answer. Drawing on more than two decades of experience at McKinsey, at Clayton Christensen's advisory firm, and on the front lines of AI-enabled consulting, Duncan argues that the basic structure of professional-service firms must be reinvented. He introduces a new model for the AI era: a leaner, more agile "obelisk" structure that replaces the traditional professional-services pyramid with smaller, highly skilled teams augmented by AI.Through real-world examples from consulting, law, accounting, and corporate strategy, Duncan shows how AI is reshaping everything from client expectations to firm economics and profitability to talent development and leadership. He examines why the apprenticeship model that was used to train generations of professionals is breaking down, how firms can rethink careers and capability building, and what new forms of value clients will demand as routine expertise becomes automated.Provocative and deeply insightful yet practical, The Future of Expertise is an essential guide for leaders navigating the next era of knowledge work.

Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions

This book offers a timely and interdisciplinary examination of how Regulatory Technology (RegTech) is transforming central banking and financial regulation amid rapid digitalisation and growing sustainability imperatives. Moving beyond conventional treatments of RegTech as a private-sector compliance tool, it positions central banks and regulators as strategic actors in data-driven financial governance. The book explores how artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, distributed ledger technology, big data analytics, real-time reporting, and programmable compliance are reshaping monetary policymaking, prudential supervision, financial stability, and digital-currency oversight. It also examines regulatory sandboxes, innovation hubs, cybersecurity, climate-risk supervision, ESG integration, sustainable finance, digital assets, and central bank digital currencies. Case studies from developed and emerging economies illustrate regulatory innovation and institutional adaptation. Addressing algorithmic bias, data fragmentation, capacity constraints, interoperability, and cross-border coordination, the book is essential reading for scholars, postgraduate students, policymakers, central bankers, regulators, supervisors, financial institutions, technology practitioners, and global institutions.Ibrahim Nandom Yakubu

'An excellent look at what Palantir does, as well as a fascinating insight into the mind of its eccentric chief executive' TelegraphPalantir Technologies is the most interesting company in the world -&nbsp;and the most controversial.&nbsp;Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the U.S. government in the war on terrorism - an early investor was the CIA - Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the U.S. military, the National Health Service in England, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to healthcare to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century.&nbsp;Its billionaire CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he's a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir's work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp's close friend and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel.&nbsp;In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger is the first to tell the story of Alex Karp and Palantir from the beginning. Steinberger offers new biographical details and a rich psychological portrait of the man leading one of the world's most secretive companies. Full of revelations, this is an urgent and insightful book about technological power, the surveillance state and the future we all face.

What lies underneath digital platforms—their invisible architecture and governance that determine everything visible. Every time you unlock your phone, stream a show, or start your car, you’re entering a world shaped by thousands of engineering decisions you’ll never see. Most platform conversations fixate on their visible canopy—business models, user experience, competitive strategy—the “leaves,” in a sense. Platforms by Amrit Tiwana excavates their roots. The book begins with a simple DNA test that separates authentic from faux platforms, then traces the forces turning tractors, pacemakers, and elevators into platforms. Using the platform trinity, the author explores principles behind why platforms behave so differently, why superior technology doesn’t always win, and why—unlike products that reach a final form—platforms never stop evolving. From there the book explains platforms’ two hidden root systems: The first system, architecture, shows how Lego-like “modular” design, frozen interfaces, and prefab building blocks let thousands of outsiders contribute pieces that snap into colossal systems. The second system, governance, describes where architecture confronts human behavior. Elegant architecture flails with poor governance, so both demand discipline.

Der Blick über die Grenzen zeigt: Die liberalen Demokratien sind in der Defensive, längst ist unklar, ob nicht der Autokratie die Zukunft gehört. Und auch in Deutschland haben der Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus und die zunehmende soziale Ungleichheit zu einem Verlust von Vertrauen in die Demokratie geführt, der ihr Verschwinden denkbar werden lässt. Dieser Essay blickt nicht nostalgisch auf die gute alte Zeit der liberalen Demokratie zurück, sondern betrachtet diese als historisch spezifische Ordnung in einer Phase kollektiven Wohlstands, die an ihr Ende gekommen ist. Statt Visionen zur Rettung des Überkommenen zu entwerfen, fragen die Autoren, was danach kommen könnte: Expertokratie, Digitalisierung und verschärfte Exklusionen sind nicht zwangsläufig ein »neuer Faschismus«, stellen aber eine neue Ära von Aufruhr und Ordnungszerfall in Aussicht.

Was kommt danach?
