Decoloniality impact assessment for AI
In the last decade, several organisations, and national and international agencies have developed impact assessments (IAs) to mitigate the risks and impact of AI systems as well as to promote responsible, just and trustworthy design, development and deployment. However, through a critical review of current AI IAs, we identify the failure of these IAs to address fundamental questions regarding who defines problems, whose knowledge is valued, and w…
Research and Practice of AI Ethics
This study investigates the ethical use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies (BD + AI)—using an empirical approach. The paper categorises the current literature and presents a multi-case study of 'on-the-ground' ethical issues that uses qualitative tools to analyse findings from ten targeted case-studies from a range of domains. The analysis coalesces identified singular ethical issues, (from the literature), into clusters to…

Breastfeeding experience, challenges and service demands among Chinese mothers
Breastfeeding rates remain low in China despite decades of efforts at improving breastfeeding practices. The study aimed to explore mothers' breastfeeding experience throughout the breastfeeding period and to understand their challenges and support service needs at each stage. Qualitative research methods, individual in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were carried out with mothers and people who played various roles regarding breastf…
Civil Society Organisations in Research
This article explores literatures from various sources to highlight and understand differences among key players surrounding the perceived nature and role of civil society in research from different literature streams. Including Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in research activities is an integral part of a broad drive towards integration of science and society. Interest in CSO inclusion in research is widespread, but lacks a coherent focus an…
Against Commodification
This paper investigates how four specific emergent technologies, namely affective computing, augmented reality, cloud-based systems, and human machine symbiosis, demonstrate how technological innovation nurtured inside the University is commodified and fetishised under cognitive capitalism or immaterial labour, and how it thereby further enables capital to reproduce itself across the social factory. Marx’s critique of technologies, through their …
Critical Social Information Systems Research
This article presents an overview of the usage of critical theory in contemporary information system (IS) research and practice. It reviews the growing body of work on critical social information systems research (CSISR) to offer an in-depth understanding of the meaning and history of this tradition. The overview of characteristics and definitions of CSISR is supplemented by a discussion of dominant topics, questions of methodology, and theory. C…
Privacy and security as ideology
Privacy and data protection are among the prime problems of the information society. The terms privacy and security promotes a particular ideology and uses the ethical recognition of the concepts to limit critical discourses. This article uses a critical approach in the tradition of critical theory and its developments in critical research in information systems (CRIS) to expose and overcome these discursive closures. The author begins with a rev…
