This open access book gathers authors from a wide range of
social-scientific and engineering disciplines to review challenges
from their respective fields that arise from the processes of
social and technological transformation taking place worldwide. The
result is a much-needed collection of knowledge about the
integration of social, organizational and technical challenges that
need to be tackled to uphold safety in the digital age. The
contributors whose work features in this book help their readers to
navigate the massive increase in the capability to generate and use
data in developing algorithms intended for automation of work,
machine learning and next-generation artificial intelligence and
the blockchain technology already in such extensive use in
real-world organizations. This book deals with such issues as: ·
How can high-risk and safety-critical systems be affected by these
developments, in terms of their activities, their organization,
management and regulation? · What are the sociotechnical
challenges of the proliferation of big data, algorithmic influence
and cyber-security challenges in health care, transport, energy
production/distribution and production of goods? Understanding the
ways these systems operate in the rapidly changing digital context
has become a core issue for academic researchers and other experts
in safety science, security and critical-infrastructure protection.
The research presented here offers a lens through which the reader
can grasp the way such systems evolve and the implications for
safety—an increasingly multidisciplinary challenge that this book
does not shrink from addressing.
