Un día recibe un extraño mensaje de una desconocida, que intenta ganarse su confianza y su amistad. «¿Será una estafa?» se pregunta Ignacio. Varios mensajes después, la misteriosa mujer lo invita a un lugar secreto en internet, con la excusa de que se encontrarán en un espacio más íntimo en donde podrán conocerse mejor. «Es sólo un chat. ¿Qué podría salir mal?». Ignacio ingresa entonces a rusticmetaverse.com y se sorprende al encontrarse en el mundo virtual más increíble que haya visitado jamás. Un metaverso secreto, creado con una tecnología que desafía todo lo que conoce. A medida que se adentra en este mundo, va descubriendo el verdadero objetivo de Rustic Metaverse y de quienes lo habitan. Nada es como él cree.

This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tercera edición de la colección "Así habla el Externado" examina el impacto que las tecnologías disruptivas y la transformación digital están teniendo sobre el conjunto de la sociedad, bajo una lente humanista e interdisciplinar, propia de nuestra institución. La Cuarta Revolución Industrial (4RI), que ha permeado todos los campos de la actividad humana y la sociedad, ofrece la inmensa oportunidad de reducir las brechas de conocimiento e ingreso económico y generar progreso social y democrático, pero puede también tener el efecto contrario. El lector y la lectora encontrarán en estos cuatro tomos reflexiones valiosas, en sus 74escritos, para comprender en todo su alcance estas innovaciones y poder contribuir así a la construcción de realidades cada vez más incluyentes y participativas. Este tomo III, titulado "Derecho, innovación y tecnología: fundamentos para una Lex Informático", tiene por objeto responder la siguiente pregunta: ¿de qué manera las nuevas tecnologías y la economía colaborativa están transformando el derecho, sus principios e instituciones? Para ello, el presente volumen estudia en detalle las promesas, retos y problemas jurídicos suscitados por la aplicación de la inteligencia artificial, el Big Data, el Blockchain y el loT en distintos ámbitos del derecho público y privado. Los diferentes capítulos presentan debates en torno a la forma en que dichas tecnologías vienen afectando profundamente al mundo del derecho, con el fin de construir un marco conceptual que no solo sirva de base para sostener una discusión académica sólidamente fundamentada sobre estos temas, sino también para despejar las dudas jurídicas que pueden existir con el fin de facilitar y acelerar el desarrollo e implementación práctica de estas tecnologías, así como de contribuir a orientar la agenda académica sobre estos asuntos en América Latina.

Download or read book Gendered Technology in Translation and Interpreting written by Esther Monzó-Nebot and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of gendered technology, an emerging area of inquiry that draws on a range of fields to explore how technology is designed and used in a way that reinforces or challenges gender norms and inequalities. The volume explores different perspectives on the impact of technology on gender relations through specific cases of translation and interpreting technologies. In particular, the book considers the slow response of legal frameworks in dealing with the rise of language-based technologies, especially machine translation and large language models, and their impacts on individual and collective rights. Part I introduces the study of gendered technologies at this intersection of legal and translation and interpreting research, before moving into case studies of specific technologies. The cases explored in Parts II and III discuss the impact of interpreting and translation technologies on language professionals, language communities, and gender inequalities, while stressing the future needs of gendered technology, particularly machine translation. Taken together, the collection demonstrates the value of a cross-disciplinary approach in better understanding how language technologies can be harnessed to address discrimination and contribute to growing discussions on gender equality and social justice at the intersection of technology and translation. This book will be of interest to scholars in translation and interpreting studies, gender studies, language technologies, and language and the law.

Download or read book FRAUDEBOOK Y LA METAFISICA written by VICENTE SERRANO. and published by Editorial Universidad Austral de Chile. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mientras nos asombramos de cómo la ciencia ficción se vuelve cada vez más cierta mediante el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial, Vicente Serrano nos ofrece una filosofía punzante en la que reflexiona sobre la evolución de las industrias culturales y la sociedad del espectáculo hacia el metaverso, aquel espacio virtual que capitaliza los afectos humanos y expropia las relaciones sociales para construir una nueva «naturaleza». Si en su anterior obra, Fraudebook, ya develó cómo la gestión de nuestros sentimientos se transformó en un sector productivo, en este libro nos demuestra el modo en que ese formato y modalidad de red social ha quedado estrecho y proyecta convertirse a través de Meta en un «fraude» a gran escala, más allá de la comunicación que permite el dominio de Facebook. Con sólidas bases en la historia del pensamiento y de la mano de Aristóteles, Kant, Nietzsche, Freud y Foucault, el autor rearticula el objeto de la filosofía vaticinando al metaverso como un espacio simulado de comprensión de la realidad en detrimento de la metafísica como instancia configuradora de representación simbólica y dotadora de sentido.

Download or read book The 1958 New York Convention in Action written by Marike Paulsson and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1958 New York Convention has been called the most effective instance of international legislation in the entire history of commercial law. However, the succinct text of the Convention leaves open a host of significant and complex questions, which may be, and have been, answered in a variety of ways; as difficult cases arise and demand solutions, they generate inconsistent outcomes. For all its remarkable success, the Convention has on occasion proved itself to be unreliable and unpredictable. This book simultaneously exposes the difficulties of the Convention and explores potential solutions. It examines each substantive article of the New York Convention in accordance with the following outline: • the text and its issues; • original intent; • the prism of the rules of interpretation of the Vienna Convention; • judicial outcomes; and • appraisal. By drawing on the Convention's drafting history in great detail, the book presents a coherent account of how the most frequently recurring interrogations about the text are reflected (or not) in judicial practice. The author studied more than 1,700 decisions rendered under the Convention since its inception in 1958 in order to provide a succinct selection of landmark cases per article. With its intense investigation of the complex reality underlying contracting States' commitment in principle and judicial application in fact, the author's judicial understanding of the Convention provides a clear conceptual framework that will help avoid outcomes at odds with the purposes of this important instrument. Lawyers and judges will rely on this book not only to situate the Convention in the national legal orders where it is intended to produce its effects, but also discover practical ways to respond to distinct questions of application.

The book also provides practical guidance for successfully engaging in BNT, and is filled with illustrative case studies from some of the world’s largest and most successful companies.

Download or read book Google and the Law written by Aurelio Lopez-Tarruella and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Google’s has proved to be one of the most successful business models in today’s knowledge economy. Its services and applications have become part of our day-to-day life. However, Google has repeatedly been accused of acting outside the law in the development of services such as Adwords, Googlebooks or YouTube. One of the main purposes of this book is to assess whether those accusations are well-founded. But more important than that, this book provides a deeper reflection: are current legal systems adapted to business models such as that of Google or are they conceived for an industrial economy? Do the various lawsuits involving Google show an evolution of the existing legal framework that might favour the flourishing of other knowledge-economy businesses? Or do they simply reflect that Google has gone too far? What lessons can other knowledge-based businesses learn from all the disputes in which Google has been or is involved? This book is valuable reading for legal practitioners and academics in the field of information technologies and intellectual property law, economists interested in knowledge-economy business models and sociologists interested in internet and social networks. Dr. Aurelio Lopez-Tarruella is Senior Lecturer in Private International Law at the University of Alicante, Spain.
