Smart elections or rigged algorithms: the rise of artificial intelligence in electoral governance in Southeast Asia

Introduction Introducing Artificial Intelligence AI into electoral-management infrastructure has radically transformed the administrative practice in Southeast Asian democracies through streamlining voter registration, consolidating identification, and making the real-time observation of the electoral events possible. Although the benefits of AI are undoubtedly tangible in terms of efficiency, transparency, and accessibility, its appearance in contexts where such regulatory sanitation is antithetical presents sh…

From bones to bytes: anticipating and addressing the governance challenges of human digital remains and posthumous digital human twins

Abstract During the nineteenth century, advances in medical research led to grave robbing and an illicit market in human biological remains (HBR). The historical episode of grave robbing illustrates how science can upend social norms. A similar scenario could soon emerge, but this time it will not be with people's biological remains, but with people's digital remains. Artificial intelligence and extended reality now create digital representations from avatars to human digital twins. In addition to the sophistica…

Beware of metacognitive laziness: Effects of generative artificial intelligence on learning motivation, processes, and performance

Abstract With the continuous development of technological and educational innovation, learners nowadays can obtain a variety of supports from agents such as teachers, peers, education technologies, and recently, generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. In particular, there has been a surge of academic interest in human‐AI collaboration and hybrid intelligence in learning. The concept of hybrid intelligence is still at a nascent stage, and how learners can benefit from a symbiotic relationship with var…

Financial regulation reforms in China – can artificial intelligence be a gamechanger to more sustainable financial regulations

Over the past few years, China has seen a substantial change in financial rules. The country’s recent fundamental redesign of its supervision structure has resulted in a dramatically altered regulatory framework for banks and other financial services organizations operating in China. The National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA), China’s new super financial regulator, is revolutionizing regulating the financial sector. Except for the securities industry, all financial sectors are regulated by the centr…

When Is a Decision Automated? A Taxonomy for a Fundamental Rights Analysis

Abstract This Article addresses the pressing issues surrounding the use of automated systems in public decision-making, specifically focusing on migration, asylum, and mobility. Drawing on empirical data, this Article examines the potential and limitations of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Artificial Intelligence Act in effectively addressing the challenges posed by automated decision-making (ADM). The Article argues that the current legal definitions and categorizations of ADM fail to capture th…

Artificial Intelligence Adoption in SMEs: Survey Based on TOE–DOI Framework, Primary Methodology and Challenges

Despite the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to face significant challenges in its effective adoption. While prior studies have emphasized strategic benefits and readiness models, there remains a lack of operational guidance tailored to SME realities—particularly regarding implementation barriers, resource constraints, and emerging demands for responsible AI use. This study presents an analysis of AI adoption in SMEs by integrating the t…
