Social values dilemmas of the digital society: Considering the implications of pervasive digitalization
The rapid and wide proliferation of digital technologies and ‘digital first’ ideology has exposed society to significant risks. While useful or even transformative, these technologies often advance without adequate consideration of their societal implications, leading to potentially degraded resilience in social systems and threats to civic and social values. We explore the social values dilemmas arising from societal digitalization, characterize…
ChatGPT, a colonialist agent of lifeworlds: A Habermassian analysis of conversations
Conversational generative AI-based systems (CGAIS), like ChatGPT, seem capable of taking part in conversations with such fluidity that we may not distinguish them from a human. The global integration of CGAIS, however, bears various risks, including the one of colonizing the social through data. In this article, we are interested in the colonization of a new territory: that of conversations. We therefore investigate the nature of conversations in…
Opinion Paper: “So what if ChatGPT wrote it?” Multidisciplinary perspectives on opportunities, challenges and implications of generative conversational AI for research, practice and policy
Transformative artificially intelligent tools, such as ChatGPT, designed to generate sophisticated text indistinguishable from that produced by a human, are applicable across a wide range of contexts. The technology presents opportunities as well as, often ethical and legal, challenges, and has the potential for both positive and negative impacts for organisations, society, and individuals. Offering multi-disciplinary insight into some of these, …
Determinants of rural creative microclustering: Evidence from web‐scraped data for England
‘Honey pot’ rural enterprise hubs as micro-clusters: Exploring their role in creativity-led rural development
Rural enterprise hubs are physical infrastructures designed to help rural businesses access tangible and intangible benefits. They generally operate within two main business models: ‘Honey Pots’ (i.e. targeting business-to-customer tenants) and ‘Hives’ (i.e. targeting business‐to‐business tenants). This paper focuses on the former type, Honey Pot hubs, which are best suited to tenants who sell their products/services directly to the general publi…
Creating the good life? A wellbeing perspective on cultural value in rural development
In the last two decades academic and policy interest in the economic growth potential of the cultural sector has risen sharply in UK, as well as in other OECD countries. Alongside this there has been a shift in cultural policies away from a focus on the public value of culture to the economic value of creativity. Where public funds are allocated to arts and culture this is heavily and increasingly skewed towards London. Although there is wide rec…
Limites structurelles et culturelles à l'usage de la messagerie dans les banques à réseau
L'article explore la question de la limite des usages de la messagerie électronique dans les banques. Au-delà des effets de la structure de l'organisation qui met en évidence la division technique et verticale du travail et sa formalisation, les banques semblent pouvoir être caractérisées culturellement par l'attachement à la manipulation du papier et à la signature manuscrite. D'autres traits culturels (orientation vers les tâches, aversion pour…
Formes de surveillance et de confiance dans les types de relation: L'Impact De l'Informatisation Bancaire
The automatic management of bank accounts affects relations of trust between banks and their clients. Due to the rareness of face-to-face contact, the decision-making process becomes opaque for the client. In turn, s/he systematically becomes suspect from the point of view of the banker who, under these circumstances, is unable to assess the risks involved. Although the categorisation of various types of clients allows some of them to avoid fully…
Téléphone, communication et sociabilité: Des Pratiques Résidentielles Différenciées
À l'heure du développement des nouvelles technologies et services de télécommunications grand public, s' intéresser au téléphone plus que centenaire pourrait paraître relever de l archaïsme, de l'histoire ou du tourisme intellectuel. Et pourtant, nous connaissons finalement peu de choses de l'usage domestique du téléphone. Qui téléphone ? Avec quels correspondants ? Pour quels motifs ? Par delà la diversité des communications, est-il possible d'i…
