Künstliche Intelligenz in der kommunalen Klimaanpassung

Potenziale, Risiken und rechtliche Anforderungen an KI-basierte Klimavorhersagen

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.

Crime, Technology and the Web

Precarious Futures

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).

Predictable Ops is a practical leadership framework for IT operations leaders and their business partners navigating the complexities of AI-driven transformation. The book delivers eight clear rules grouped into two tracks: Operational Trust and Preparation &amp; Foresight. This system helps leaders build reliable, cost-aware, resilient services — and lead decisively when machine-driven insights must be balanced with human judgment.

Each rule includes real-world anecdotes — from cloud migrations and vendor licensing negotiations to critical incident communications and team accountability gaps. Predictable Ops makes the system repeatable through reflection questions, templates, and ‘Try It This Week’ actions.

Where other books focus narrowly on DevOps, SRE, or AI strategy, Predictable Ops bridges the daily realities of operations leaders who must stabilize services while explaining the risks and value of AI to partners who depend on them.

With trust, clear forecasting, transparent communication, and decisive leadership, Predictable Ops shows readers how to deliver services that stay stable, boring, and trusted — so that AI and future platforms multiply value instead of chaos.

Errant Intelligence

The job security you thought you had? AI didn't take it. Someone who learned to use AI did.
The headlines scream about AI replacing workers, but they're missing the real story. Artificial intelligence isn't your competition the person in the next cubicle who figured out how to 10x their output with AI tools is.
Adapt or Automate cuts through the fear-mongering and hype to reveal what's actually happening in workplaces worldwide. Drawing on real-world case studies from Nairobi to New York, this book shows how AI is creating a new divide: not between humans and machines, but between those who leverage AI and those who resist it.
Inside, you'll discover:Why AI won't replace you but will replace how you work - and what that means for your career in the next 12-24 months
The "augmentation advantage" - how professionals across industries are using AI to become irreplaceable rather than redundant
The three types of work AI handles best - and the uniquely human skills that are becoming more valuable, not less
Real strategies from real people who've transformed their careers by treating AI as a power tool, not a threat
The economic reality no one's discussing - why companies aren't choosing between humans OR AI, but humans WITH AI versus humans without
A practical 90-day action plan to position yourself on the winning side of the AI revolution


This isn't a technical manual or a dystopian warning. It's a pragmatic guide for anyone who wants to thrive in an AI-augmented workplace whether you're an employee, manager, freelancer, or business owner.
The choice isn't whether AI will transform your industry. It already is. The only question is: Will you adapt, or will you be automated?
Your career in the AI age starts here.

Why AI Won't Take Your Job But Someone Who Uses It Will

ADAPT OR AUTOMATE

This open access book assesses whether European data regulation can be amended in light of contemporary technological developments. In an era when data powers our daily lives, economies and societies, data regulation is essential. However, European data regulation is still premised on concepts and foundations that were developed more than 50 years ago. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the European data regulatory landscape, from its historical roots to the challenges posed by new technological advancements. Through a detailed legal and technical analysis, it explores key data categories - such as anonymised, pseudonymised, aggregated, sensitive data, and metadata - highlighting their fluid and changing nature and the growing possibilities for transitioning between them. By identifying regulatory tensions and challenges arising from various technologies, such as AI, Big Data, and quantum computing, the book offers policymakers, legal scholars, computer scientists and data protection experts different perspectives on how to reshape future privacy and data protection legislation in a rapidly advancing technological world. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Jeder kann alles schaffen, wenn er sich nur anstrengt? Schön wär's.&nbsp;Ramona Wuttig zeigt eindrücklich: Sozialer Aufstieg gelingt in Deutschland oft trotz - und nicht wegen - der bestehenden Strukturen. Ihre eigene Geschichte beginnt im ländlichen Thüringen in extremer Armut. Ohne fließendes Warmwasser, geprägt von Arbeitslosigkeit und gesellschaftlicher Ausgrenzung, schien ihr Weg vorgezeichnet. Doch Wuttig holte das Abitur nach, absolvierte drei Studiengänge und streitet heute als Expertin für Chancengerechtigkeit und eine reflektierte Ost-Identität.Offen erzählt sie von der Scham, die das Aufwachsen in prekären Verhältnissen begleitet, und entlarvt das Versprechen der Chancengleichheit als Illusion. Sie legt dar, wie systemische Barrieren Lebenswege bestimmen und warum Erfolg oft gegen alle Widerstände errungen werden muss. Die enge Verknüpfung ihrer bewegenden Biografie mit soziologischer Analyse macht dieses Buch zu einer unverzichtbaren Lektüre.

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.

A Commentary

The EU Artificial Intelligence Act

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;
