If AI’s intrinsic risks are real, governmental regulation and ethical frameworks are unlikely to contain them. Drawing on social theory, it highlights myths about the state’s capacity, global enforcement challenges, rapid technological decentralization, and the ambiguity of moral norms. The author presents a skeptical view that “meaning well” does not ensure effective outcomes, cautioning against overreliance on governments and ethics to mitigate advanced AI risks.
Novel research shows that in approximately one third of countries and territories worldwide, population aging was the largest contributor to the growing burden of musculoskeletal disorders from 1990 to 2021. The new study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, published by Elsevier, is poised to inform targeted public health strategies and healthcare resource allocation to alleviate the global burden and economic impact of these disorders.
Temporally complex problem-solving environments are commonplace in organizations. In an innovative study, a researcher from Yonsei University, in collaboration with other scientists, has shown that limited external knowledge in such situations can lead to worse performance than having no external knowledge at all. These findings are expected to further organizational decision-making and strategy, education and training, public policy and healthcare, technology and AI integration, and individual career development.
As Europe has been struggling with several heatwaves this summer, a new survey from Summer 2024 reveals how much its citizens are willing to support different kinds of climate policies (n=19,328, 24 June–27 August 2024). As expected, Europeans strongly prefer policies which allocate subsidies for rail transport or home insulation for instance, while they strongly oppose the ones which foresee any kind of tax on polluting behaviours, such as the one on cars and meat.
This new survey highlights interesting trends in Europeans citizens’ preferences and opinions about different possible climate policies currently under discussion. These results are now browsable in an online tool which allows the user to analyse and compare opinions about a set of different climate policies in Europe.
