A sharp history of journalism's digital unraveling in the age of algorithms. In the past three decades, the battle between big tech and big journalism has reshaped how we consume the news. Jason Whittaker delves into how tech giants outmaneuvered traditional media companies, siphoning off advertising revenue and audience attention. As journalism struggled to adapt, social media platforms evolved from utopian public spaces into breeding grounds for misinformation and fake news, eroding public trust. The influence of billionaires further complicated the digital ecosystem, swaying public opinion and exercising direct political power, of which previous media moguls could only dream. More recently, AI has begun to revolutionize content creation, distribution, and consumption. Overall, this thirty-year period has witnessed a tangled mix of progress, contention, and disinformation. Incorporating stories about The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, and many other media outlets from around the world, and discussing key figures and companies in big tech and AI like Facebook/Meta, Cambridge Analytica, Google, Microsoft, Twitter/X and Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, Jakob Uszkoreit, OpenAI, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and more, Whittaker provides an incisive examination of the frequently combative relations of these two industries and the uncertain future of the news in the digital age.

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).

How the rise of AI agents--and other forms of autonomous intelligence--will transform every aspect of how companies create value and compete.Companies have long operated with a basic assumption: intelligence is scarce. Talent is limited, expertise is expensive, and good judgment is hard to scale. But that world is ending.AI agents are bringing a new form of labor into the enterprise--one that can work autonomously, learn continuously, and scale instantly. Their embodied counterparts, from drones to humanoid robots, are doing the same in the physical world. Together, these systems are introducing a new economic reality: cognition is becoming cheap, elastic, and abundant.In Abundant Intelligence, Deloitte's Nitin Mittal and futurist Mike Walsh show what happens when intelligence becomes cheap and widely available. Drawing on inside access to the people leading AI transformations at the world's most powerful companies, they uncover how this shift is challenging every assumption about strategy, productivity, and leadership, and what organizations must do now to stay ahead.As abundance becomes the new normal, the leader's job shifts from collecting intelligence to directing it. Those who learn to harness this expanding workforce of digital labor will unlock new levels of speed, creativity, and advantage. For everyone else, the gap will widen fast.

Das Buch zeichnet die grundstürzende Demontage des Subjekts durch den grassierenden Einfluss der Sozialen Medien, der Künstlichen Intelligenz und des Transhumanismus nach. Ausgehend von einer vielschichtigen Analyse des tradierten Subjektbegriffs wird deutlich, dass das Subjekt nur eine philosophische Fiktion ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, von welchem Standpunkt aus seiner - im Unterschied zur philosophischen und psychologischen Subjektkritik - unreflektierten und theorielosen Demontage dennoch etwas entgegengesetzt werden kann. Vorgeschlagen wird ein existenzieller Bezug auf das Nichtidentische als Statthalter des individuell Besonderen im Sinne Adornos. Damit werden die klassischen Subjektattribute - Vernunft, freier Wille, Handlungsfreiheit und Autonomie - umgangen, während das Individuelle in seiner Abgrenzung gegen das Allgemeine bewahrt und gerettet wird.

As fears of agentic obsolescence abound, organizations are struggling to implement AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work. This unique book introduces a full-stack approach that balances technological capability with human values, ethics and practical applications. AI at Work provides a framework that moves beyond scattered AI experiments toward a coherent strategy that will run throughout your entire company. Rather than focusing on technical capabilities or dystopian warnings, it utilizes a full-stack approach to harness AI's benefits while preserving what matters most - a firm's people, its values and its unique organizational identity. The global AI market is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030, with organizations across sectors racing to implement AI solutions. However, whilst 83% of executives report that AI is a top priority for their organization, only 23% have a comprehensive implementation strategy. This book fills a critical gap between theoretical AI books and technical implementation guides by offering: · A practical framework applicable across industries; · Equal emphasis on technological capability, ethical considerations and real-world applications; · A human-centred approach that addresses concerns about AI replacing workers; and · Case studies and examples from diverse sectors.

The Future of B2B Marketing

Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;explores the evolving and emerging relationship between crime and technology in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, along with its implications for new perceptions of crime and deviance. It evaluates the rise of the World Wide Web and the model of cybercrime, questions whether existing criminological thought offers relevance and efficacy in current circumstances, conditions and future predictions, and revisits the concept of Relative Deprivation and&nbsp;the underpinning social psychological and socio-political foundations of it. It argues that&nbsp;Relative Deprivation&nbsp;allied to post-industrial precarity provides a central platform for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected and hyper-commercial neoliberal world.&nbsp;The book develops to explore current criminological and security conceptions of artificial intelligence, big data, crime and social control, as well as hacktivism, and how opportunities for crime have become ‘democratised’ and expanded through the Web. Drawing&nbsp;on empirical data, theoretical narratives and a review of the state of crime now and in a speculative near future, Hamerton and Webber discuss some potential directions for a new transdisciplinary critical criminology.&nbsp;
 Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;speaks to&nbsp;criminologists, sociologists and social theory scholars and students, as well as academics and professionals in associated technological fields such as cyber-security, computer science and web science.
