The new Post Accelerating Data and Knowledge Online Society, or ‘Padkos’ requires a new model of decision making. This introductory paper proposes a model where decision making and learning are a single symbiotic process, incorporating man and machine, as well as the AADD (ánthrōpos, apparatus, decider, doctrina) diamond model of individual and organizational decision-making and learning processes. The learning is incorporated by using a newly proposed quadruple loop learning model. This model allows for controlled changes of identity, the process of creating and the sense making of new mental models and assumption, and reflections. The model also incorporates the recently proposed model of quantum decision-making, where time collapse of the opted past and the anticipated future (explicitly including its time horizon) into the present play a key role in the process, leveraging decision-making and learning by human as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. The paper closes with conclusions.

This introductory paper proposes a model where decision making and learning are a single symbiotic process, incorporating man and machine, as well as the AADD (ánthrōpos, apparatus, decider, doctrina) amalgamated diamond model of individual and organizational decision-making and learning processes. The learning is incorporated by using a newly proposed quadruple loop learning model. This model allows for controlled changes of identity, the process of creating and the sense-making of new mental models, assumptions, and reflections.

Összefoglaló. A tanulmány kezdő axiómája a mesterséges intelligencia biztonságos alkalmazása. A biztonságos alkalmazás egyik aspektusa a jogi biztonság, az a jogi környezet, amelyben a felmerülő jogi kérdések rendezésére alkalmazható keretrendszer áll rendelkezésre. A tanulmány a Semmelweis Egyetem projektjében fejlesztett mesterséges intelligencia alkalmazásának olyan polgári jogi problémáit vizsgálja, amelyek a mindennapi hasznosítás során merülhetnek fel. A tanulmány következtetése szerint a vizsgált mesterséges intelligencia szerzői műnek minősül és több védelmi forma is alkalmazható. A jogi szabályozás de lege ferenda kiegészítésre szorul a szerzői mű folyamatos változása okán. Szükséges rögzíteni egy referenciapontot, amely a felelősség kiindulópontjául szolgál. Summary. The starting point of the study is the safe use of artificial intelligence. Legal certainty is one aspect of safe usage, the legal environment in which a framework is available that can be used to resolve legal issues. The paper examines the civil law issues that may arise in the everyday use of the artificial intelligence application developed within the Semmelweis University project. The study will first focus on the legal protection of the Semmelweis AI, including whether this protection is currently international, regional (European Union) or national and which of these is the optimal choice. The study also reflects on the legislative preparatory work of the European Union in this regard. Our hypothesis is that the majority of civil law areas concerning AI can be regulated within a contractual framework. The AI software developed by the project is a forward-looking medical and practical solution. If we want to use a legal analogy, we can imagine its operation as if we had a solution that could analyse all the national court decisions in each legal field and provide an answer to the legal problem at hand, while simultaneously learning and applying the latest court decisions every day. For this AI solution, the diagnostic process must be carefully examined in order to identify the legal problems. I believe that the optimal solution is to classify this AI application as ‘software’ because this allows property rights to be acquired in their entirety and it opens the door to clarifying individual associated usage and copyright by contract. An important civil law question arises in relation to parallel copyright protection, when the individual personal contributions (creative development work) to the software cannot be separated. Therefore, it is important to record the process and to separate the individual contributions protecting by copyright. The AI plays a questionable role in the diagnostic process. If the software itself cannot make a decision, but only provides a framework and platform, then it will not be entitled to co-ownership relating to the diagnostic images (e.g. just as a camera will not own the rights to the pictures taken with it). However, if the algorithm is part of the decision-making (e.g. the selecting of negative diagnoses), it would possibly be co-owner of the right, because it was involved in the development of the classification. All this should be clearly stated in the licence agreement, based on full knowledge of the decision-making process. However, de lege ferenda, the legal regime needs to be supplemented in view of the constant changes of the copyright work and the changing authors. There is a need to establish a specific point in the legislation that serves as a reference point for liability and legal protection. The issues under consideration are of a legal security nature, since without precise legal protection both the creator of artificial intelligence and the persons who may be held liable in the event of a malfunctioning of such systems may be uncertain.

This article builds on the idea that senior tourists’ decision making is a staged process in which the different choices are sequential, interrelated, and interdependent. These decisions are “whether to take a vacation," “whether to opt for an international trip," “whether to use an organized tour," and “whether to use publicly subsidized travel.” Considering the social character of many trips offered to seniors, the fourth decision of the proposed process makes it unique. No research has empirically considered using a staged decision making in the context of senior travelers, and the proposed model quantifies the effect of each variable based on the decision the individual is dealing with; also, the way a variable changes its effect even within the same decision stage depending on the individual is analyzed by including heterogeneity into the modeling. The results find that senior tourists follow the proposed four-staged decision-making process rather than the basic two-stage decision-making process.

Machines are the heart of most industries. By ensuring the health of machines, one could easily increase the company revenue and eliminates any safety threat related to machinery catastrophic failures. In condition monitoring (CM), questions often arise during decision making time whether the machine is still safe to run or not? Traditional CM approach depends heavily on human interpretation of results whereby decision is made solely based on the individual experience and knowledge about the machines. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated ways for decision making in CM provides a more objective and unbiased approach for CM industry and has become a topic of interest in the recent years. This paper reviews the techniques used for automated decision making in CM with emphasis given on Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evident theory and other basic probability assignment (BPA) techniques such as support vector machine (SVM) and etc.

This conceptual, interdisciplinary paper will start by introducing the commencement of a new era in which human society faces continuously accelerating technological revolutions, named the Post Accelerating Data and Knowledge Online Society, or ‘Padkos’ (“food for the journey; prog; provisions for journey”—in Afrikaans) for short. In this context, a conceptual model of sustainable development with a focus on knowledge management and sharing will be proposed. The construct of knowledge management will be unpacked into a new three-layer model with a focus on the knowledge-human and data-machine spheres. Then, each sphere will be discussed with concentration on the learning and decision- making processes, the digital supporting systems and the human actors’ aspects. Moreover, the recombination of new knowledge development and contemporary knowledge management into one amalgamated construct will be proposed. The holistic conceptual model of knowledge management for sustainable development is comprised by time, cybersecurity and two alternative humanistic paradigms (Homo Technologicus and Homo Sustainabiliticus). Two additional particular models are discussed in depth. First, a recently proposed model of quantum organizational decision-making is elaborated. Next, a boundary management and learning process is deliberated. The paper ends with a number of propositions and several implications for the future based on the deliberations in the paper and the models discussed and with conclusions.

The several papers recently published, applied to sustainable development, has been considering new methodologies and techniques in identifying the main criteria, in numeric format, that are useful in formulating possible solutions to the solid waste problem. This paper presents the Mathematical and Computational Modeling Process (PM2C), applied in the determination of control variables related to selection of areas destined to the construction of landfills, in order to benefit from new analyzes and values obtained by methods such as AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems). The main objective of this paper is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), through a Decision Tree strategy, as a selective method and optimal solutions in choosing the best area dedicated to the construction of landfills, with the creation and analysis of new values applied to scenarios defined in the paper of Andrade e Barbosa (2015). The results, expressed in analytical and graphical forms, show the individual values for each criterion and new scenarios involved in the phenomena. This paper highlights the importance of incorporating new conditions and criteria to propose a new decision-making rule, simultaneously, associating qualitative and quantitative characteristics, related to social and economic effects, applied to the environment management system. Based on these principles, it was possible to simulate new scenarios that demonstrate, with very high precision, the best values of useful criteria for decision-making in the selection of the optimal area for implementation of a landfill.

Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence techniques, including machine learning models, have led to the expansion of prevailing and practical prediction simulations for various fields. The quality of teachers’ performance mainly influences the quality of educational services in universities. One of the major challenges of higher education institutions is the increase of data and how to utilize them to enhance the academic program’s quality and administrative decisions. Hence, in this paper, Artificial Intelligence assisted Multi-Objective Decision-Making model (AI-MODM) has been proposed to predict the instructor’s performance in the higher education systems. The proposed AI-assisted prediction model analyzes the numerical values on various elements allocated for a cluster of teachers to evaluate an overall quality evaluation representing the individual instructor’s performance level. Instead of replacing teachers, AI technologies would increase and motivate them. These technologies would reduce the time necessary for routine tasks to enable the faculty to focus on teaching and analysis. The usage for administrative decision-making of artificial intelligence and associated digital tools. The experimental results show that the suggested AI-MODM method enhances the accuracy (93.4%), instructor performance analysis (96.7%), specificity analysis (92.5%), RMSE (28.1 %), and precision ratio (97.9%) compared to other existing methods.

Abstract In domains which require high risk and high consequence decision making, such as defence and security, there is a clear requirement for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to be able to explain their reasoning. In this paper we examine what it means to provide explainable AI. We report on research findings to propose that explanations should be tailored, depending upon the role of the human interacting with the system and the individual system components, to reflect different needs. We demonstrate that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ explanation is insufficient to capture the complexity of needs. Thus, designing explainable AI systems involves careful consideration of context, and within that the nature of both the human and AI components.
