Issue 37 The rapid advancement of technology has brought forth a myriad of challenges and opportunities across various sectors. As we delve into the ever-evolving landscape, it becomes crucial to explore and address key topics that shape our society. This editorial covers the intersection of drones, menstrual period leave, AI in finance, and managing disagreements through a lens of progress and understanding. Drones, once confined to military applications, have expanded their horizons. With their versatile capabilities, they are transforming industries such as agriculture, surveillance, and delivery services. While the potential benefits are immense, it is vital to establish robust regulations to ensure safety, privacy, and responsible usage. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has disrupted the financial sector, revolutionizing processes such as risk assessment, fraud detection, and investment strategies. Yet, ethical considerations must be at the forefront when integrating AI systems to prevent biases, protect data privacy, and maintain transparency. Striking the right balance between automation and human oversight is key to leveraging AI's potential while upholding integrity and accountability. Inevitably, disagreements arise in our personal and professional lives. Understanding the psychology behind managing disagreements is essential for fostering healthy relationships and effective problem-solving. Employing active listening, empathy, and constructive communication techniques can help bridge gaps, promote mutual understanding, and lead to mutually beneficial resolutions. A travelogue on Thailand and regular Astro column for upcoming month of August are entertaining. By engaging with these topics, we can navigate the evolving landscape with awareness, empathy, and a commitment to progress. Striking the right balance between embracing innovation and upholding ethical standards is crucial for a harmonious and inclusive future. Let us embrace these discussions and collaborate to shape a world that harnesses the transformative power of technology while prioritizing the well-being and dignity of all individuals.

Cybersecurity Issues and Challenges in the Drone Industry is a comprehensive exploration of the critical cybersecurity problems faced by the rapidly expanding drone industry. With the widespread adoption of drones in military, commercial, and recreational sectors, the need to address cybersecurity concerns has become increasingly urgent. In this book, cybersecurity specialists collaborate to present a multifaceted approach to tackling the unique challenges posed by drones. They delve into essential topics such as establishing robust encryption and authentication systems, conducting regular vulnerability assessments, enhancing software security, advocating industry-wide standards and best practices, and educating drone users about the inherent cybersecurity risks. As drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), gain popularity and are deployed for various applications, ranging from aerial photography and surveillance to delivery services and infrastructure inspections, this book emphasizes the criticality of safeguarding the security, integrity, and privacy of drone systems and the data they handle. It highlights the growing vulnerability of drones to cybersecurity threats as these devices become increasingly connected and integrated into our everyday lives. This book is an invaluable resource for drone manufacturers, government agencies, regulators, cybersecurity professionals, and academia and research institutions invested in understanding and mitigating the cybersecurity risks in the drone industry.

Recent discussions on big data surveillance and artificial intelligence in governance have opened up an opportunity to think about the role of technology in the production of the knowledge states use to govern. The contributions in this volume examine the socio-technical assemblages that underpin the surveillance carried out by criminal justice institutions – particularly the digital tools that form the engine room of modern state bureaucracies. Drawing on ethnographic research in contexts from across the globe, the contributions to this volume engage with technology’s promises of transformation, scrutinise established ways of thinking that becomeembedded through technologies, critically consider the dynamics that shape the political economy driving the expansion of security technologies, and examine how those at the margins navigate experiences of surveillance. The book is intended for an interdisciplinary academic audience interested in ethnographic approaches to the study of surveillance technologies in policing and justice. Concrete case studies provide students, practitioners, and activists from a broad range of backgrounds with nuanced entry points to the debate.

It is inevitable, given the enormous media-driven concern generated by the recent application of artificial intelligence (AI) to an ever-expanding spectrum of day-to-day human experience, that the need for a clearly articulated legal response has become imperative. This book both clarifies the controversial issues surrounding the use of AI and explores in great detail how, far from being “unregulated,” the creation, distribution, and operation of AI systems currently is, and will remain, subject to a vast array of existing laws and regulations all over the world. Demonstrating beyond any doubt that the traditional concepts of legal responsibility, including duty of care, negligence, and compensation for damages, will always be applicable to those humans who create and/or use artificially intelligent things or systems, the author shows how AI systems are clearly implicated in numerous existing legal regimes, including the following: relevant provisions under international law and EU law; applicable provisions in the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore; and numerous national provisions in the legal fields of health and safety, intellectual property, competition, privacy and data protection, and military engagement. However, given the lack of international consensus on this vitally important issue, the author suggests that any worldwide agreement on the legal responsibilities relating to the use of AI will need to be carefully defined, and that provisions will need to be reviewed to determine how they will apply to any new range of artificially intelligent creations. The purpose of this book is to review those legal concepts, throughout the world, that currently govern the application of AI and to comment on modifications or extensions of the rule of law that are being proposed as necessary to serve and protect humanity in relation to the expanding applications of AI. It is important that anyone who uses or is affected by AI products understands the relationship between existing laws and regulations in major markets around the world and those areas where initial regulations may be required. For them, for their counsel, and for the various policy and regulatory authorities confronted with AI issues, this book will prove an essential guide.
