商品描述
This book serves as a comprehensive, interdisciplinary exploration of how emerging technologies intersect with human-centric design. The editors have developed five thematic sections that guide the reader from foundational normative principles to the practical application of innovations within education, societal resilience, and governance.
Looking beyond the technical scope, this book emphasises that digital transformation must be conceptualised through inclusive and ethical lenses to remain sustainable. Through a blend of diverse methodologies, including empirical studies and systematic reviews, the text provides a unified narrative on embedding AI and digital tools into institutional and individual contexts to foster long-term trust and accessibility. The primary distinction of this book lies in its sophisticated interdisciplinary synthesis, which successfully bridges the gap between technical computing and the social sciences. This book prioritises a human-centred framework, ensuring that discussions on AI and data analytics are grounded in human values and social equity. Furthermore, the book is characterised by its methodological breadth, offering readers a robust toolkit that includes design-based research, mixed-method studies, and system evaluations. This diversity makes the content accessible to both theorists and practitioners. A final key differentiator is the volume's focus on applied resilience and governance. By addressing the nuances of trust and decision support, the book serves as more than just a scholarly reference; it is an actionable guide for implementing digital transformation initiatives that are both ethically sound and practically viable in real-world settings.
The primary audience consists of researchers and academics in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Artificial Intelligence, and the social sciences who require rigorous frameworks for their work. The secondary audience includes policymakers and practitioners who are tasked with the governance and implementation of digital initiatives. These professionals will benefit from the book's evidence-based insights into inclusive design and ethical AI. This book is part of the book series, Technology for Smart Environments and Sustainable Futures
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書全面且跨學科地探討新興技術如何與以人為本的設計相互交會。編者規劃了五個主題篇章，引導讀者從基礎性的規範原則出發，逐步了解創新技術在教育、社會韌性與治理領域中的實際應用。
本書不侷限於技術層面，而是強調數位轉型必須透過包容與倫理的視角加以構想，才能維持永續性。透過結合多元方法論，包括實證研究與系統性文獻回顧，本書建構出一套統整性的論述，說明如何將 AI 與數位工具融入機構及個人情境，以促進長期信任與可及性。本書最主要的特色，在於其精緻的跨學科整合，成功搭起技術計算領域與社會科學之間的橋梁。本書以人為本的架構為優先，確保 AI 與資料分析的討論奠基於人類價值與社會公平之上。此外，本書也展現出廣泛的方法論涵蓋面，為讀者提供包含設計導向研究、混合方法研究與系統評估在內的完整工具組。這樣的多樣性使本書內容同時適合理論研究者與實務工作者。最後，本書另一項重要特色在於聚焦於韌性的實際應用與治理。透過探討信任與決策支援的細微層面，本書不僅是學術參考資料，更是一份可實際採用的指南，協助讀者在真實世界的情境中推動兼具倫理正當性與實務可行性的數位轉型計畫。
本書的主要讀者為 Human-Computer Interaction（HCI）、Artificial Intelligence 及社會科學等領域的研究人員與學者，他們需要嚴謹的架構來支援自身研究。次要讀者則包括負責數位計畫治理與執行的政策制定者及實務工作者。這些專業人士將能從本書以證據為基礎、針對包容性設計與倫理 AI 所提出的洞見中獲益。本書隸屬於「Technology for Smart Environments and Sustainable Futures」叢書。
