Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10, Problem 10.4E
Explanation of Solution
Complex Socio-technical systems in Government:
A complex organization design that recognizes the interaction between technology and people and is not limited only to software is known as socio-technical system.
A socio-technical system considers requirements spanning hardware, software, personal, and community aspects and applies an understanding of the social structures, roles and rights to inform the design of systems that involve communities of people and technology and it is a dependable process and also reduces errors and avoid failure.
Most of the systems used in government organizations are socio-technical systems. Some of the examples of government functions that are supported by complex socio-technical systems are:
- Criminal Justice System is supported by government through socio-technical systems and it is a series of government agencies and institutions that identify and catch the law-breakers and punish them...

Artificial Intelligence currently requires a phase known as "Training" in order to achieve the best results.
What are two potential deliverables from an RPA project which can provide part of all of the AI training support within the automated process? Briefly describe how each RPA deliverable could be utilized for AI Training.
New technologies may lead to a series of unintended consequences. However, fear of those consequences may slow changes that can be beneficial. However, fear may slow beneficial change. Jasanoff asserted we should combine the "can do" of science and engineering with the "should do" of ethical and political analysis. Take a specific example of technology and explain how these two have been or might be combined.
What is the ultimate goal of AI? Provide two illustrative instances for each of its various characteristics.

- Below mentioned is the abstract of the study. This article reports on a study for which the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) served as a theoretical framework. The purpose of the exploration was to gain an understanding of students’ perceptions of the adoption of social media, namely Facebook and Twitter, in an academic library setting. The study applied the constructs as described by the UTAUT, namely, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, to explore students’ perceived behavioral intentions to use social media. A sample of 30 students were selected from two universities, one in Belgium (University of Antwerp) and one in South Africa (University of Limpopo), to gain better insight of the students’ perceptions regarding the adoption and use of social media, in particular Facebook and Twitter, by the academic libraries at these two universities.

No pictures or figures are necessary. These concepts should be different (e.g. they should not be two forms of remote cars or two forms of ground transportation such as an autonomous truck and autonomous taxi – think about the different types of domains that are available!)arrow_forward

Explain each in brief.arrow_forwardWith the increasing emphasis on mental well-being, how are software products being developed to support mental health tracking and interventions?arrow_forwardIf a computer and information technology scenario differs from more traditional media that does not make use of computers, what are those differences? With the introduction of new technologies, new variables are created on a daily basis. As an example, take the latest technological breakthroughs such as cellular communication or satellite tracking devices. Maybe they've generated some new ethical questions. Is it feasible that they have? Examine each technology and try to determine what it is in it that causes you to have these moral concerns.arrow_forward
