One of the revolutionary ideas put forward by Foucault is the various measures of surveillance, to ensure discipline in a society. Such a consented voyeurism always has a panopticon structure. Foucault talks about the age old prison, and how such surveillance structures are employed in other institutions from mental asylums to public schools to ensure discipline. The 184 idea of a big brother watching has gained prominence today with the internet, satellites giving rise to a virtual panopticon today.

Mapping Experiences with Actor Network Theory

Liza Potts

My presentation from ATTW's annual conference. I talk about how we can better design for experiences if we first understand the context in which we are building products and services. This simple mapping system helps visualize these contexts. Want more?

This paper has been invited to be published by the Springer LNBIP series/2014 and so, it is an improved version from those version accepted for presentation at the Fifth Pre-ICIS workshop on ES Research, St Louis/USA 2010 (*). The paper considers some challenges and reflections concerned with Information and Knowledge/Wise Societies and Sociotechnical Systems. After a brief and innovative panorama on the information and knowledge/wise societies and sociotechnical system we present the core of this work: challenges and reflections related with our society and systems. For some of these challenges and reflections has been proposed answers such as: treatment of the organization as a living being → synergism & collaborative ecosystem research efforts; a unfair shared leadership, information partnership and a collaborative relationship in the age of knowledge and, a new way of development, which comprises the social, economical, cultural and environmental spheres leading us to a new model of perception and knowledge of the world & present financial crisis; …Our world is fundamentally a sociotechnical world, which is characterized by Human and technological interactions; Human organizations are living systems and should be analyzed accordingly; Their interactions drastically affect people relationships in space and time. If we consider that the core knowledge is embodied in people’s heads (tacit knowledge), and their abilities to utilize them generate new knowledge, we cannot speak about knowledge/wise society without taking into account these interactions. Since the Internet brings together the computer, media, and the distributed intelligence of the family and the community, constituting a new basis for the effectiveness of socio-technical organizations then, in this way, beyond the economic, organizational, cultural, and technological dimensions, the specific sociotechnical context characterizes every knowledge/wise society initiatives: synergism and ubiquitously driven by the Internet! However, management opposition persists, because sociotechnical system by nature enables collaborative decision-making and shared leadership. Management has been reluctant to give up the power and authority they have worked so hard to establish. Sociotechnical system challenges the traditional management taboos that of sharing information and knowledge with subordinates on a need to know basis only. The central corner stone of a technocratic bureaucracy is ...

Techno-government networks: Actor-Network Theory in electronic government res...

FGV Brazil

The Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is a theoretical approach for the study of controversies associated with scientific discoveries and technological innovations through the networks of actors involved in such actions. This approach has generated studies in Information Systems (IS) since 1990, however few studies have examined the use of this approach in the e-government area. Thus, this paper aims to broaden the theoretical approaches on e-government, by presenting ANT as a theoretical framework for e-government studies via published empirical work. For this reason, the historical background of ANT is described, duly listing its theoretical and methodological premises. In addition to this, one presented ANT-based e-government works, in order to illustrate how ANT can be applied in empirical studies in this knowledge area.

A discussion on chapter 5 of Hatch & Cunliffe (2013, 127-157)'s "Organization Theory: Modern, Symbolic, and Postmodern Perspective." This paper will summarize their discussions, and to make more value added, I’ll discuss on a possibility to enhance fundamental perspective of this chapter by discussing about the post-postmodern paradigm , which will be a result of a debate between neo-phenomenology and speculative reality in details. The paper will use this perspective to examine the future evolution of exponential performance of computational technology until the “technological singularity,” or when machine intelligence surpasses human being’s in 2047, according to Verne Vinge , later adopted and enhanced further by Kurzwell (2005).

Intimate technology - the battle for our body and behaviour

Karlos Svoboda

This essay aims to spark a wave of public and political debate about a series of new products already showered out over you, the volume of which will continue to increase during the coming years. This essay takes a serious look at the trend that technology is rapidly nesting itself in between us, very close to us and even within us, increasingly coming to know us and even receiving human traits. In short, we have become human-machine mixtures, cyborgs.

Open communities of innovation pioneers: the Musigen case study

Giuseppe Naccarato

We call innovation pioneers the experts in a scientific or technical domain in the early stages of its development. Advances in information technologies allow networks of organizations and individuals to exchange ideas and knowledge. Not differently from what has happened in communities of consumers with the emergence of the so called prosumers, ICT can support communities of innovation pioneers. However, the role of IT in this domain has not been studied extensively in the management literature. Understanding the dynamics of communities of innovation pioneers, instead, can provide companies with precious knowledge on future breakthrough innovations. This paper means to deepen our understanding of communities of innovation pioneers and the role of IT in supporting them. To achieve this goal, we investigate the case of Musigen, a new web platform with the purpose to support knowledge sharing in the generative music field.

Debate on Artificial Intelligence in Justice, in the Democracy of the Future,...

AJHSSR Journal

ABSTRACT : This study aims to debate and analyze the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Justice Age of the Future Democracy and how it can affect civil and criminal investigation. To do so, a database of indexed scientific papers and conference materials were "searched" to gather their findings. Artificial intelligence (AI), is a science for the development of intelligent machines and has its roots in the early philosophical studies of human nature and in the process of knowing the world, expanded by neurophysiologists and psychologists in the form of a series of theories, about the work of the human brain and thought. The stage of the development of the science of artificial intelligence is the development of the foundation of the mathematical theory of computation - the theory of algorithms - and the creation of computers, Anglin, (1995). "Artificial Intelligence" is a science that has theoretical and experimental parts. In practice, the problem of the creation of "Artificial Intelligence" is, on the one hand, at the intersection of computer technology and, on the other, with neurophysiology, cognitive and behavioral psychology. The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence serves as a theoretical basis, but only with the appearance of significant results will the theory acquire an independent meaning. Until now, the theory and practice of "Artificial Intelligence" must be distinguished from the mathematical, algorithmic, robotic, physiological, and other theoretical techniques and experimental techniques that have an independent meaning.

Philosophy of Blockchain Technology - Ontologies

Nicolae Sfetcu

About the necessity and usefulness of developing a philosophy specific to the blockchain technology, emphasizing on the ontological aspects. After an Introduction that highlights the main philosophical directions for this emerging technology, in Blockchain Technology I explain the way the blockchain works, discussing ontological development directions of this technology in Designing and Modeling. The next section is dedicated to the main application of blockchain technology, Bitcoin, with the social implications of this cryptocurrency. There follows a section of Philosophy in which I identify the blockchain technology with the concept of heterotopia developed by Michel Foucault and I interpret it in the light of the notational technology developed by Nelson Goodman as a notational system. In the Ontology section, I present two developmental paths that I consider important: Narrative Ontology, based on the idea of order and structure of history transmitted through Paul Ricoeur's narrative history, and the Enterprise Ontology system based on concepts and models of an enterprise, specific to the semantic web, and which I consider to be the most well developed and which will probably become the formal ontological system, at least in terms of the economic and legal aspects of blockchain technology. In Conclusions I am talking about the future directions of developing the blockchain technology philosophy in general as an explanatory and robust theory from a phenomenologically consistent point of view, which allows testability and ontologies in particular, arguing for the need of a global adoption of an ontological system for develop cross-cutting solutions and to make this technology profitable.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024

Tobias Schneck

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other? Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
