“…As VR devices become more user-friendly, they can significantly impact sustainable consumption decisions and green choices. The study van Gerven, M. (2022) 55 reveals that algorithmic management positively impacts the meaningfulness of work through identity and belonging, while algorithmic control negatively affects it. It also reveals that algorithmic matching indirectly influences work meaningfulness, and it both facilitates and restricts crowd worker identity formation.…”

The world's first law governing "artificial inelegance" has arrived! The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has prompted a global discourse on the necessity of regulatory frameworks to govern their development and deployment responsibly. With the escalating integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into various facets of human life, the imperative for regulatory frameworks has become paramount. On March 13, 2024, the European Parliament formally adopted the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, 2024 1 ("AI Act, 2024") with a large majority of 523-46 votes in favor of the legislation, the first horizontal and standalone legislation dedicated exclusively to AI governance. The AI Act, 2024 represents a watershed moment in global governance, aiming to establish comprehensive guidelines and safeguards for the development, deployment, and use of AI systems across diverse sectors. Through rigorous analysis of the Act's key components, including definitions, principles, obligations, and enforcement mechanisms, this research seeks to elucidate its potential impact on stakeholders, innovation ecosystems, and societal dynamics worldwide. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach to scrutinize the intricate provisions and implications of the AI Act, 2024 encompassing legal, ethical, socio-economic, and technological dimensions. A crucial aspect of this research will be a deep dive into the specific provisions and regulations outlined in the AI Act, 2024 and will explore how the Act tackles the identification and mitigation of "inelegant biases" within AI systems. Additionally, the research will analyze the AI Act, 2024's requirements for explain-ability in "inelegant" AI decisions, ensuring transparency and accountability. The mechanisms established for enforcement and oversight will also be under scrutiny to understand their effectiveness in upholding the Act's regulations. Furthermore, this research endeavors to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats inherent in the AI Act, 2024 considering its adaptability to evolving technological landscapes, its alignment with fundamental human rights principles, and its capacity to foster responsible AI innovation while mitigating risks and disparities. This research will contribute valuable insights to ongoing discussions about navigating the complexities of artificial intelligence in a responsible and ethical manner.

This systematic literature review (SLR) explores the impact of digital technologies on welfare states and bureaucracies, analyzing the evolving dynamics between the state and citizens. The integration of digital technologies reshapes traditional interactions, granting citizens new levels of autonomy and responsibility. Service delivery evolves from conventional bureaucracies to dynamic, data‐driven systems. Employing the PRISMA methodology, the review covers articles from 2017 to 2024, synthesizing insights from 37 selected articles. Key themes, challenges, and opportunities associated with digital transformation in the welfare state are identified. The study offers valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners navigating the complex intersection of technology and welfare provision. It underscores the need for a balanced approach to welfare transformation, addressing both the benefits of digitalization and potential challenges such as exclusion, citizen profiling, and other ethical concerns.
