"In the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a disruptive force around the world, offering enormous potential for innovation but also creating hazards and risks for individuals and the societies in which they live. This volume addresses the most pressing philosophical, ethical, legal, and societal challenges posed by AI. Contributors from different disciplines and sectors explore the foundational and normative aspects of responsible AI and provide a basis for a transdisciplinary approach to responsible AI. This work, which is designed to foster future discussions to develop proportional approaches to AI governance, will enable scholars, scientists, and other actors to identify normative frameworks for AI to allow societies, states, and the international community to unlock the potential for responsible innovation in this critical field."

"The book provides on overview of the evaluation, prevention and control of exposure to noise at the workplace. Besides chapters on fundamentals of acoustics, physiology and pathophysiology of the ear and hearing, exposure criteria, strategy for noise surveys and details on the instruments, their use and calibration, audiometry and hearing protection, other chapters emphasise the noise reduction at source as the first choice for preventing hearing loss. Sources of information and a list of relevant case studies are given in the last chapter, emphasising the importance of standards for noise control at the design stage.
This book presents among other things the relations of the different fields to the newest state of international standards.
