Abstract Among the emerging technologies, artificial intelligence represents nowadays an area of interest for all of the states around the world, making the technological progress a huge step in human evolution. The future role of the man in military actions will not be to fight in the field anymore, making decisions on how and when to use the weapons in order to stop the incoming enemy while also respecting the international laws. With the help of technology, humanity could provide its much needed security and put an end to conflicts regardless of their nature, because devices are not capable of emotions and subjectivism, making them transparent and objective and transforming the decision making process into a simpler, fairer and legal action. Technology represents the future and man should adapt to it as soon as possible in order to reach the best outcomes even when it comes to war.

There is an element that the millennial generation must maintain and apply Pancasila in real life. Through education, the millennial generation must be aware that Pancasila values such as divinity, humanity, unity, mutual cooperation, deliberation for consensus, social justice, patriotism, nationalism, and respect for differences are planted, not only for memorization, but more importantly for application to oneself and spreading to other millennial generations who both play an important role. Let us go with a torch that can spark the fire of enthusiasm to construct a victorious Indonesia for a better life in the future and throughout eternity. Using literature studies, this study will explain how citizenship education might increase a sense of Pancasila.


People have varying (and often conflicting) beliefs, expectations, and fears of science and technology. While emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) may be no different, it has captured the imagination of people of all walks of life globally and is already trickling into our lives daily. When considering the future, the role of AI often polarises views of “a utopian versus dystopian future” throwing up a number of interesting questions about ethics, morality, religion, social values, regulation, and perhaps controversially, what it means to be human. Moreover, AI seems to be creating expectations that perhaps cannot be fulfilled in the present day but may (potentially) affect our future in ways that we still cannot comprehend. A new dawn of innovation is upon us, perhaps a revolution or an evolution of human society. This chapter presents this new dawn.

Purpose The purpose of the present article is to highlight the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics in the tourism industry. The various technologies being integrated to improve the service and customer experience in tourism. The expected changes and challenges in tourism in the future are focused in this paper. Design/methodology/approach A systematic study on the emerging technologies of AI and Robotics applied in the tourism sector is presented in the form of a viewpoint. Findings AI certainly enhances tourism experiential services however cannot surpass the human touch which is an essential determinant of experiential tourism. AI acts as an effective complementary dimension to the future of tourism. With the emergence of artificial travel intelligence, it is simpler to make travel arrangements. AI offers travel services that are automated, customized and insightful. AI allows travelers to learn about their behaviors, interests to inclinations and provide a personalized experience. Gone are the days to consult a travel agent, meet him physically and indulge in an endless chain of troubling phone calls to inquire about travel arrangements. Practical implications Tourism marketing to see a positive and improved change that will enhance the tourists’ overall experience due to the application of AI and Robotics. New emerging technologies like chatbots, virtual reality, language translators, etc. can be effectively applied in Travel, Tourism & Hospitality industry. Originality/value The present viewpoint discusses the application and role of AI and Robotics with the help of relevant industry examples and theory. The present paper highlights the different technologies being used and will be used in the future.

The chapter is focused on the paradigm shift of artificial intelligence (AI) and marketing evolution. Considering the effects of AI on marketing and AI powered by engagement marketing, why is AI the marketing future? Is AI in marketing merely over-promoted? What can AI do for marketing and how can AI most influence and bring advantages to marketing and transformation of the customer experience through mass personalisation? Some critical impacts of chatbots are highlighted, with explanations of what they can do and how they will change the future of customer engagement. An explanation of how AI products influence and transform the role of product management is given, emphasizing the importance of the human context delivering, along with emerging technologies. Following this is an investigation about AI influencing brand management, and by the end, the issues of the future of AI and robotics are highlighted.

While the idea of transformative constitutionalism first arose in the context of South Africa’s democratic transition to address questions related to the future of private law and old order legal personnel and institutions in the new constitutional dispensation, it has gained a much broader meaning both in South Africa and around the globe in the new millennium. This contribution reflects on the multiple meanings, uses, and criticisms of transformative constitutionalism and its suitability as a model for African constitutionalism more generally. Given contemporary challenges to constitutionalism, it argues that ensuring the continued functioning of democracy is as significant a dimension of transformative constitutionalism as the enforcement of social rights. It ultimately suggests that we should conceive of transformative constitutionalism as providing a conceptual arena in which to develop a socio-legal understanding of how any specific constitutional order emerges and use it as a yardstick to judge and critique the role of constitutions in advancing the cause of social justice.

The aim of this paper is to develop an approach that conceptualizes the role of sociotechnical potential in the discourse around trust in emerging technology. Thereby it focuses on robotics as an example of an emerging technology which is subject to many expectations concerning its future. The paper first provides a general overview of the thinking on trust in philosophy of technology. In the section after that, the paper argues for the importance of adding the perspective of technological potential by emphasizing how the discourse around emerging technologies like robotics is often referring to a world-to-come. Based on this idea, the final section argues for an approach to trust in technology that is based on the perspective of multiplicity of technology narratives. As such, the goal is to build and foster trust in the future of robots based on a notion of technodiversity.

Abstract. As the criticism of the definition of the phenotype (i.e., clinical diagnosis) represents the major focus of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative, it is somewhat surprising that discussions have not yet focused more on specific conceptual and procedural considerations of the suggested RDoC constructs, sub-constructs, and associated paradigms. We argue that we need more precise thinking as well as a conceptual and methodological discussion of RDoC domains and constructs, their interrelationships as well as their experimental operationalization and nomenclature. The present work is intended to start such a debate using fear conditioning as an example. Thereby, we aim to provide thought-provoking impulses on the role of fear conditioning in the age of RDoC as well as conceptual and methodological considerations and suggestions to guide RDoC-based fear conditioning research in the future.
