The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and International Relations

1st Edition, Chapter 2, Edited by Diego Brasioli, Laura Guercio, Giovanna Gnerre Landini, Andrea de Giorgio

The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and International Relations examines how machines, algorithms, and data are reshaping the way nations interact, negotiate, and navigate global politics. In the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed from a theoretical wonder to a real force, and with it the race to dominate new technologies is proving to be a key geopolitical concern. This book looks at both the ways in which AI is transforming the landscape of international relations and the challenges this brings.

Social Trust and the Ethics of Our Institutions

Author(s):   Prof. Dr. James Keenan

Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics, 2022

Social trust is the basic resource for our institutions and is notably maintained by leaders who have what I call a vulnerable style and a vigilant capacity to recognize ethical challenges on the horizon. The essay follows five steps: a meditation on social trust, an introduction to the notion of style, and a proposal for a vulnerable style so as to become collectively capacious for recognition. Then it turns to the two institutions under examination at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society of Christian Ethics (SCE): the church and the academy.

Inspiring Trust

Church Communications and Organizational Vulnerability

Author(s):   Prof. Dr. Juan Narbona

Edusc, 2021

Cultural and social changes, together with scandals and the incoherence of some groups, led citizens to evaluate organisations more rigorously than ever before. Since then, a culture of suspicion towards political parties, financial institutions, trade unions, the media and also - of course - the Church, has been the norm. This book contains a collection of articles by a variety of authors on a central theme: trust. As a background, the current distrust of the Catholic Church is addressed in many cases.

Ethics of Care

Values, Virtues and Dialogue

Author(s):   Prof. Dr. Axel Liégeois

Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2021

When we want to provide good care, we often take the will of care users as our starting point. However, how do we do this for vulnerable people who are highly dependent on care? This book offers a practical and theory-based method for ethical deliberation. It encourages care providers to engage in ethical empowerment, making their own ethically responsible decisions based on values, virtues and dialogue. This method is applied to important social developments that care providers are challenging today: from evolutions around networks and confidentiality, decision-making capacity and informed consent, assertive care and restriction of freedom, to euthanasia. The foundation of this method is a relational care ethics, linking everyone who participates in care with the other parties involved. This relationship forms the link between the care user, the next of kin and the care providers. Good care starts from the connection between people. This book will appeal to all professionals in the various care sectors, as well as teachers and students the ethics of care.

Second Acts and Second Chances

The Bumpy Road to Redemption

Author(s):   Prof. Dr. Robert J. Bies, Laurie J. Barclay, Thomas M. Tripp

Journal of Management Inquiry, 2021

Throughout history, there are numerous examples of business and government leaders who have fallen from grace only to rise again, and have a “second act” and a “second chance” as a legitimate social actor or leader—that is, they achieved redemption. We explore “the road to redemption” of leaders—when and why it occurs, and what “bumps” prevent it. In our analysis, we conceptualize redemption as a process with three elements—remorse, rehabilitation, and restoration—and as an outcome (the restoration of legitimacy). We argue that achieving redemption is not a product of chance; rather, it is a social construction process of narrative creation and identity construction involving many parties. Also, the road to redemption is shaped by cultural-specific factors—and it is temporally dependent. From this framework, we identify new directions for the theory and practice of leadership.
