  • Building Trust in Government AI: Balancing Innovation and Privacy in Healthcare Services

    Open AccessPedro Robles, Lauren Azevedo et al.ARTICLEPublic Organization Review2026

    The increasing integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare services has raised concerns about privacy, accountability, and public trust, particularly for vulnerable populations. This study examines state-level governance frameworks regulating artificial intelligence in the United States healthcare. It analyzes 141 enacted state laws to identify key regulatory themes, including data privacy, electronic health records, patient consent, bio…

  • A Computational Study of the Station Nightclub Fire Accounting for Social Relationships

    Open AccessSherif El‐tawil, Sherif El-Tawil et al.ARTICLEJournal of Artificial Societies…2017

    Using agent-based modeling, this study presents the results of a computational study of social relationships among more than four hundreds evacuees in The Station Nightclub building in Rhode Island. The fire occurred on the night of February , and resulted in fatalities. A er summarizing and calibrating the computational method used, parametric studies are conducted to quantitatively investigate the influences of the presence of social relationsh…

  • Contributions of social science to agent-based models of building evacuation

    B E Aguirre, Sherif El‐tawil et al.ARTICLEContemporary Social Science2011Cited by: 1References: 6

    This paper describes the general characteristics of the agent-based models (ABM) approach to the simulation of building evacuations, and offers details of some popular computer codes for building evacuation. Contemporary ABM computer programming emphasising the characteristics of individuals and their propensities to act should be supplemented with codes informed by group-level dimensions such as norms, values, commitments to lines of action, lea…
