Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore insights methodology and technology by using behavioral to create a mind-set change in the way people work, especially in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Design/methodology/approach The approach is to examine how AI is driving workplace change, introduce the idea that most organizations have untapped analytics, add the idea of what we know future work will look like and look at how greater, data-driven human behavioral insights will help prepare future human-to-human work and inform people’s work with and alongside AI. Findings Human (behavioral) intelligence will be an increasingly crucial part of behaviorally smart organizations, from hiring to placement to adaptation to team building, compliance and more. These human capability insights will, among other things, better prepare people and organizations for changing work roles, including working with and alongside AI and similar tech innovation. Research limitations/implications No doubt researchers across the private, public and nonprofit sectors will want to further study the nexus of human capability, behavioral insights technology and AI, but it is clear that such work is already underway and can prove even more valuable if adopted on a broader, deeper level. Practical implications Much “people data” inside organizations is currently not being harvested. Validated, scalable processes exist to mine that data and leverage it to help organizations of all types and sizes be ready for the future, particularly in regard to the marriage of human capability and AI. Social implications In terms of human capability and AI, individuals, teams, organizations, customers and other stakeholders will all benefit. The investment of time and other resources is minimal, but must include C-suite buy in. Originality/value Much exists on the softer aspects of the marriage of human capability and AI and other workplace advancements. What has been lacking – until now – is a 1) practical, 2) validated and 3) scalable behavioral insights tech form that quantifiably informs how people and AI will work in the future, especially side by side.

This article explores the relationship between physical literacy and human flourishing. Understanding the contribution physical literacy may have in nurturing human flourishing extends the philosophical rationale and importance of physical literacy in relation to maximizing human potential. This article proposes that the concept of physical literacy is being embraced worldwide, in part due to the contribution physical literacy may make in nurturing human flourishing. Therefore, this article discusses the relationship between physical literacy and human flourishing in detail, unveiling what value this connection may hold in promoting physical literacy as an element integral in enhancing quality of life. Aspects of human flourishing are presented and examined alongside physical literacy. Synergies between physical literacy and human flourishing are not hard to find, and this gives credence to the growing adoption of physical literacy as a valuable human capability.

This paper describes the use of artificial intelligence techniques in the creation of a network-based decision engine for decision support in an Intelligent Intrusion Detection System (IIDS). In order to assess overall network health, the decision engine fuses outputs from different intrusion detection sensors serving as "experts" and then analyzes the integrated information to present an overall security view of the system for the security administrator. This paper reports on the workings of a decision engine that has been successfully embedded into the IIDS architecture being built at the Center for Computer Security Research, Mississippi State University. The decision engine uses Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM)s and fuzzy rule-bases for causal knowledge acquisition and to support the causal knowledge reasoning process.

Human factors specialists need to assess products and situations to determine a level of dangerousness. This paper outlines the factors of such an analysis and suggests a procedure to use. Aspects of human behavior, environmental conditions, potential for encountering sources of energy and good manufacturing practice are addressed. The key elements of human capability and expectation are outlined. Products and activities that have inherent danger are discussed. Human errors and the factors influencing dangerous situations are discussed.
