Handling The Crime of Manipulating Children's Photos That Violate The Morality of Studies at The Cirebon City Police

Background. The development of information technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given rise to various forms of cybercrime, one of which is the criminal act of manipulating indecent images of children. Aims. This study aims to identify the modus operandi and the handling of criminal acts involving the manipulation of indecent images of children by the police. The research method employed is normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The data were obtained through a liter…

Guest editorial: STARA (smart technology, AI, robotics and algorithms): implications for career research

Significant advancements in smart technology, AI, robotics and algorithms (STARA) are changing how organisations design and implement work for the current and future workforce. Understanding the implications of STARA on work attitudes and behaviours is gaining the attention of scholars and practitioners (e.g. Brougham and Haar, 2018; Raisch and Krakowski, 2021; Tang et al., 2023; Ulfert et al., 2024; Yam et al., 2023), with existing findings highlighting the varied and significant effects that different types of…

Revising research practices for singing data collection

Abstract As AI voice synthesis enables increasingly sophisticated vocal deepfakes and non-consensual voice cloning, the governance, licensing and access of singing datasets has become an urgent concern for data-contributors, who face significant harms from downstream and non-consensual usage of their singing data. Singing datasets are foundational to the development of high fidelity voice AI synthesis, yet current data collection practices pose challenges: data-contributors have an event-centric contribution to…

Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence in the Asia Pacific: Threats Defenses and Governance Recommendations

This study examines interactions between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity across the Asia-Pacific, with emphasis on ASEAN governance, technical attack vectors and defensive trajectories. It synthesizes classifications of offensive and adversarial AI, detailing techniques such as data poisoning, model extraction, evasion attacks, adversarial perturbations and AI-driven social engineering, and highlights how agentic AI architectures expand attack surfaces via persistent memory, tool integrations and dynam…

Ethical Concerns in Medical and Health-Related AI

This perspective introduces the range of ethical concerns entailed by the widespread adoption of AI, particularly as they impact human health. It begins by (1) illustrating risks associated with all large-scale AI systems, then moves to (2) corporate and governmental applications of AI that affect human health. It overviews the ways (3) that patient usage of AI has affected human health; (4) that “passive” medical AI (like recording documents) and (5) “active” medical AI (like diagnosing and prescribing) may aff…

The role of artificial intelligence in facilitating superwood utilization among furniture craft producers for sustainable smart manufacturing

Despite the demonstrated potential of superwood materials (engineered or modified wood products, such as densified, thermally modified, or cross-laminated timber, that exhibit enhanced strength, dimensional stability, and resource efficiency relative to conventional timber) and artificial intelligence (AI) to advance sustainable manufacturing, their adoption remains negligible among artisanal furniture producers in resource-constrained developing economies. This study investigates whether and how AI can facilita…

Leveraging social media footprints for predicting college student anxiety: a machine learning approach

Background Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health concerns among college students worldwide, yet traditional assessment methods relying on self-report questionnaires are time-consuming, susceptible to response bias, and difficult to scale. Social media platforms, which students use extensively, generate rich behavioral and linguistic data that may reflect underlying psychological states. This study investigates whether passively collected social media footprints are associated with anxiety scores amo…

Knowledge-Based Feature Selection Substantially Enhances Data-Driven Wastewater Treatment Modeling

Data-driven modeling in wastewater treatment is increasingly constrained by the reality of small, high-dimensional data, where the abundant monitoring parameters in small-sized data sets obscure fundamental mechanistic understandings. This study proposes a knowledge-driven feature selection framework that integrates mechanistic insights with statistical correlations to identify the most informative predictive features. Using nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission prediction at a full-scale plant as a case study, we comp…

Christopher Nolan says people ‘disdain’ AI and the idea it will replace humans is ‘nonsense’

The Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan believes the kind of movies he makes – big-budget action films shot mostly on location – would survive the spread of artificial intelligence, a technology he says many people “disdain”. The Oppenheimer and The Dark Knight director is promoting his latest blockbuster, an adaptation of the Greek epic The Odyssey, which will be released in cinemas this week. “The interesting thing with AI is I’ve never seen a technology that’s been so successfully adopted by Wall Street…

Is Richard Tice’s picture AI-manipulated? Here are five giveaways

*** After Richard Tice posted a picture of an apparent Reform campaign event on Sunday, experts and social media detectives took a closer look and concluded from a variety of telltale signs that the image had either been edited or generated by artificial intelligence. Here are some of the elements that critics called into question. *** 1. Mangled fingers One woman has six fingers on one hand and extra long ones on the other. The man in the beige jacket has three extremely long fingers which look like sausages. A…

‘There were stoats in kitchen cupboards’: AI deployed to help save Orkney’s birds

At first, the stoat looks like a faint smudge in the distance. But, as it jumps closer, its sleek body is identified by a heat-detecting camera and, with it, an alert goes out to Orkney’s stoat hunters. Aided by an artificial intelligence programme trained to detect a stoat’s sinuous shape and movement, trapping teams are dispatched with the explicit aim of finding and killing it. It is the most sophisticated technology deployed in one of the world’s largest mammal eradication projects, which has the aim of dete…

Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert

The race to get artificial intelligence to market has raised the risk of a Hindenburg-style disaster that shatters global confidence in the technology, a leading researcher has warned. Michael Wooldridge, a professor of AI at Oxford University, said the danger arose from the immense commercial pressures that technology firms were under to release new AI tools, with companies desperate to win customers before the products’ capabilities and potential flaws are fully understood. The surge in AI chatbots with guardr…
