Community-led regeneration of urban heritage: exploring the New Patrons principles for heritage management

Purpose The integration of sustainability principles into urban heritage management reframes conventional priorities centred on physical conservation and economic development by bringing socio-cultural considerations to the forefront. In this context, the role of participatory me...

Influence Is Not Warrant: An Architecture-First Account of Human Semantic-Cognitive Intelligence in Human–AI Interaction

Influence is not warrant, and assisted performance is not retained capability. An AI output can change what a person finds accessible and worth considering without giving that person any checked reason to believe it, and a person can perform better with AI assistance while retain...

Consensus-Based Definitions for Vocal Biomarkers: The International VOCAL Initiative.

Introduction: Voice-based health technologies are growing rapidly, but they lack standardized terminology, which hinders interdisciplinary collaboration, research quality, and clinical translation. The objective of this work was to develop universally accepted definitions in the...

Plural Interfaces, Singular Commitments: Religious Diversity, AI Alignment, and the Non-Collapse of Output, Belief, and Moral Responsibility

Conceptual article in philosophy of technology / AI ethics / Islamic ethics. Public-facing AI systems mediate religious questions across societies with incompatible metaphysical commitments; observers often collapse five distinct objects into one: model output, product policy, in...
