This book explores how data about our everyday online behaviour are
collected and how they are processed in various ways by algorithms
powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
The book investigates the socioeconomic effects of these
technologies, and the evolving regulatory landscape that is aiming
to nurture the positive effects of these technology evolutions
while at the same time curbing possible negative practices. The
volume scrutinizes growing concerns on how algorithmic decisions
can sometimes be biased and discriminative; how autonomous systems
can possibly disrupt and impact the labour markets, resulting in
job losses in several traditional sectors while creating
unprecedented opportunities in others; the rapid evolution of
social media that can be addictive at times resulting in associated
mental health issues; and the way digital Identities are evolving
around the world and their impact on provisioning of government
services. The book also provides an in-depth understanding of
regulations around the world to protect privacy of data subjects in
the online world; a glimpse of how data is used as a digital public
good in combating Covid pandemic; and how ethical standards in
autonomous systems are evolving in the digital world. A timely
intervention in this fast-evolving field, this book will be useful
for scholars and researchers of digital humanities, business and
management, internet studies, data sciences, political studies,
urban sociology, law, media and cultural studies, sociology,
cultural anthropology, and science and technology studies. It will
also be of immense interest to the general readers seeking insights
on daily digital lives.
