There is emerging evidence that new technologies are related to improvements in productivity. Nevertheless, in considering the relationship between new technology and productivity, it is vital to consider human resource management and development issues due to their mediating effects on the relationship between new technology and productivity. This paper focuses on training technologies, especially e‐learning. The increasing use of new technologies to deliver training and to store and communicate knowledge means that trainers must be technologically literate. That is, they must understand the strengths and weaknesses of new technologies and implementation issues such as overcoming users’ resistance to change. The paper reports the findings of a study of 724 Lithuanian employees, which revealed relatively weak usage of new technologies and e‐learning in human resource development processes.

Given the foreseeable pervasiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern societies, it is legitimate and necessary to ask the question how this new technology must be shaped to support the maintenance and strengthening of constitutional democracy. This paper first describes the four core elements of today's digital power concentration, which need to be seen in cumulation and which, seen together, are both a threat to democracy and to functioning markets. It then recalls the experience with the lawless Internet and the relationship between technology and the law as it has developed in the Internet economy and the experience with GDPR before it moves on to the key question for AI in democracy, namely which of the challenges of AI can be safely and with good conscience left to ethics, and which challenges of AI need to be addressed by rules which are enforceable and encompass the legitimacy of democratic process, thus laws. The paper closes with a call for a new culture of incorporating the principles of democracy, rule of law and human rights by design in AI and a three-level technological impact assessment for new technologies like AI as a practical way forward for this purpose. This article is part of a theme issue ‘Governing artificial intelligence: ethical, legal, and technical opportunities and challenges’.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract in English only.In the dominant discourse of the "human–machine relationship," people and machines are the subjects, with a mutually shaping influence. However, this framework neglects the crux of the current critical analysis of AI. It reduces the problems with new technology to the relationship between people and machines, ignoring the re-shaping of the relationship between "people and people" in the era of new technology. This simplification may mislead policy and legal regulations for new technologies. Why would a robot killing cause more panic than a murder committed by a human? Why is a robot's misdiagnosis more troubling than a doctor's? Why do patients assume that machines make more accurate diagnoses than doctors? When a medical accident occurs, who is responsible for the mistakes of an intelligent medical system? In the framework of traditional professionalism, the relationship between doctors and patients, whether trusted or not, is based on the premise that doctors have specialized knowledge that patients do not possess. Therefore, the authority of a doctor is the authority of knowledge. In the age of intelligence, do machines provide information or knowledge? Can this strengthen or weaken the authority of doctors? It is likely that in the age of intelligence, the professionalism, authority and trustworthiness of doctors require a new knowledge base. Therefore, the de-skilling of doctors is not an issue of individual doctors, but demands an update of the knowledge of the entire industry. Recognizing this, policy makers must not focus solely on the use of machines, but take a wider perspective, considering how to promote the development of doctors and coordinate the relationship between doctors with different levels of knowledge development. We often ask, "In the era of intelligence, what defines a human?" This philosophical thinking should be directed toward not only the difference between machines and people as individuals, but also how the relationship between human beings, i.e., the social nature of humans, evolves in different technological environments. In short, this commentary stresses that a "good" machine or an "evil" machine—beyond the sci-fi romance of such discourse—reflects the evolution of the relationships between people. In today's smart age, the critical issue is not the relationship between people and machines. It is how people adjust their relationships with other people as machines become necessary tools in life. In the era of intelligence, therefore, our legislation, policy and ethical discussion should resume their focus on evolutionary relationships between people.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 41 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

The Relationship

With the advent of new technologies, the man begins to experience a significant change in the perception of the other, time and space. The acceleration of time promoted by new technology does not allow the exercise of affection for the consolidation of ties, relations take narcissists hues seeking immediate gratification and the other is understood as a continuation of the self, the pursuit of pleasure. It is the acceleration of time, again, which leads man to present the need for immediate, always looking for the new – not new – in an attempt to fill an inner space that is emptied. The retention of concepts and pre-stressing of temporality are liquefied, become fleeting. We learn to live in the world and the relationship with the other in a frivolous and superficial way. The psychic structure, facing new phenomena experienced, loses temporalize capacity and expand its spatiality, it becomes pathological. Post-modern inability to retain the past, to analyze the information received and reflect, is one of the responsible for the mental illness of today's society. From a temporality range of proper functioning, the relationship processes with you and your peers will have the necessary support to become viable and healthy.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Drawing on evidence from five detalled case studies, this paper focuses on the relationship between technical innovation and non-manual skills and work organization. In none of these cases could the introduction of new technologies simply equate technical innovation with deskilling and enhanced managerial control. Indeed, one of the more interesting and important findings of the research was that technological change has been more favourable for technical than for clerical occupational groups.

The article deals with the problems of increasing the economic efficiency of agricultural enterprises by improving working conditions, reducing the level of exposure to harmful and dangerous production factors. The purpose of the article is to analyze methodological approaches to forecasting possible economic losses of agricultural enterprises due to the presence of harmful or dangerous working conditions and to develop organizational and management solutions to reduce these losses. Economic services of agricultural enterprises need to have a methodology for assessing real economic losses due to unfavorable working conditions at enterprises, which will give employers an understanding that the costs of labor protection and safety not only pay off, but also give a significant economic effect and contribute to improving the profitability of production and allow them to make informed management decisions. It is shown that forecasting economic damage from occupational diseases and industrial injuries, accidents is a complex task, but it is quite solvable on the basis of the procedure for assessing and managing occupational risks and applying known patterns of crop losses or animal productivity due to violations of agrotechnical deadlines or animal maintenance regime due to the absence of an injured employee at the workplace.

Introduction. In an unstable market environment, it is quite difficult to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of marketing activities for agricultural enterprises using traditional methodological approaches. We believe that now there is a need to develop methodological approaches that will help to establish the relationship in the marketing management system, taking into account the changing market conditions and the resource potential of the agricultural enterprise. Methods. The following methods are used to achieve this goal, namely: methods of monographic comparative analysis and specific methods in the field of analysis of theoretical and analytical foundations of marketing activities to determine the strategic prospects of marketing activities, identify effective measures to improve marketing activities in agricultural enterprises. Research methods are based on theoretical developments and scientific tools, which includes analysis and evaluation of formulated methodological approaches to assess the effectiveness of management of marketing activities of agricultural enterprises on the basis of quantitative and qualitative indicators. The research methodology also provides for the generalization of scientific sources that explore the rational aspects of management and increase the effectiveness of marketing activities of enterprises in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. Results. Theoretical approaches to understanding the management of enterprise marketing activities are summarized, and the distinction and fundamental relationship between the categories «marketing performance» and «marketing efficiency» are established. It has been found that the main purpose of these categories is to achieve the desired results, in which the achievement does not take into account the method and the costs incurred, and the efficiency takes into account the way with the resources expended. The formation of a holistic system for managing the effectiveness of marketing activities is achieved through synchronization of the process of influencing marketing tools in order to create an overall synergistic effect. We have developed a balanced system of indicators of the enterprise to evaluate the effectiveness of marketing activities of the enterprise, which considers the specific activity and business orientation of the agricultural enterprise. It is proved that, depending on strategic goals, business orientations of agrarian enterprise are determined, which set the future vector of business development, therefore marketing activity should promote business development. Discussions. Promising areas of further research are the development of methods for analyzing the cost-effectiveness of marketing activities in the agricultural sector. Keywords: management, marketing complex, business orientation, strategic goals, performance, efficiency, production resources.

The article examines and systematizes factors affecting the viability of an agricultural enterprise (external: economic, political, legal, technological, climatic, socio-demographic, market) and internal factors (financial and economic, material and technical, production and technological, personnel and intellectual , innovative and environmental), which made it possible to substantiate the differences in the parameters for assessing the viability of an agricultural enterprise and, on this basis, build a three-vector model for assessing the viability of an enterprise for a targeted search for possible ways to increase its viability. An algorithm for assessing the viability of an enterprise has been built, including an assessment of the dynamics of indicators, their factor analysis and determination of the state of viability, which allows not only assessing the current state, but also predicting future development, which makes it possible for the enterprise to timely identify deviations and make informed management decisions. The practical significance of the obtained results of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained theoretical and methodological provisions in the practical activities of agricultural enterprises to ensure their viability through the application in practice of evaluating the parameters that determine the viability of an enterprise as a tool for managing sustainable development.
