“…In addition, this paper also suggests that scientists will not always transfer novel sustainability initiatives into reality; rather, they show resistance due to the discomfort that occurs with sudden shifts in the organisational field (Mihelcic et al , 2003). Moreover, our findings suggest that given sufficient investment and support in material and time, alongside sufficient organisational support to engage with other professionals and external scientists, R&D scientists and engineers can engage in sustainable organisational practices (Lai Cheng and Ahmad, 2010; Krkač, 2019).…”

“…For instance, as the obstacles above occurred in a supportive organisational setting with contained sustainability and eco-competitiveness outline, there is evidence to propose that similar problems might also arise in less supportive circumstances. In detail, if management and scientists embrace a similar “discourse” and same mindset in this relatively benign organisational field, such mutual viewpoints appear commensurately less likely in more conflictual contexts (Mihelcic et al , 2003; Seifi et al , 2012; Krkač, 2019). This strengthens the necessity of promoting intra-professional discussion that facilitates scientists to understand others’ mindsets and habitus.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore how research and development (R&D) scientists and engineers can contribute to sustainability initiatives in their organisations. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a critical case study methodology, focussed on a large Vietnamese company in which business leaders sought to engage R&D scientists and engineers in sustainability initiatives focussed on eco-innovation and eco-efficiency. Bourdieu’s theoretical lens of habitus, capitals and field facilitates a relational analysis of the findings. Findings While R&D scientists and engineers adapted well to early changes aligned with eco-innovation, they struggled to engage with sustainability initiatives in the case firm. This study explains adaptions and constraints as scientists and engineers’ professional habitus and capitals, and their broader organisational field. Practical implications This paper provides insight into how organisations might integrate professional acculturation and appropriate facilitators to promote the additional contribution of scientists and engineers to sustainability initiatives in the context of an organisation. Social implications Although eco-innovation and eco-efficiency are only potential dimensions of comprehensive organisational sustainability reform, this research provides insight into how engaging scientists and engineers with a broader social sustainability agenda might be advanced. Originality/value The study addresses calls for empirical insights into ways that scientists and engineers can commit to organisational sustainability practices based on the configurations of habitus, capital and organisational field.

“…In course of functioning or works, humans face the issue of judgement if that is cogent to be done or if that is not ethical to be done, etc. However, in the case of AI, this matter comes up from the dilemma to empower AI technology for adopting decisions that might be subjective, contextual and moral in nature (Krkac, 2019).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the human rights issue. This study has also examined issues with AI for business and its civil and criminal liability. This study has provided inputs to the policymakers and government authorities to overcome different challenges. Design/methodology/approach This study has analysed different international and Indian laws on human rights issues and the impacts of these laws to protect the human rights of the individual, which could be under threat due to the advancement of AI technology. This study has used descriptive doctrinal legal research methods to examine and understand the insights of existing laws and regulations in India to protect human rights and how these laws could be further developed to protect human rights under the Indian jurisprudence, which is under threat due to rapid advancement of AI-related technology. Findings The study provides a comprehensive insight on the influence of AI on human rights issues and the existing laws in India. The study also shows different policy initiatives by the Government of India to regulate AI. Research limitations/implications The study highlights some of the key policy recommendations helpful to regulate AI. Moreover, this study provides inputs to the regulatory authorities and legal fraternity to draft a much-needed comprehensive policy to regulate AI in the context of the protection of human rights of the citizens. Originality/value AI is constantly posing entangled challenges to human rights. There is no comprehensive study, which investigated the emergence of AI and its influence on human rights issues, especially from the Indian legal perspective. So there is a research gap. This study provides a unique insight of the emergence of AI applications and its influence on human rights issues and provides inputs to the policymaker to help them to draft an effective regulation on AI to protect the human rights of Indian citizens. Thus, this study is considered a unique study that adds value towards the overall literature.

“…NPL technology is a special procedure with the help of ML. It supplements computers for interpreting, understanding and even manipulating human language (Krkač, 2019). This process includes splitting the languages into short pieces and this process takes an attempt to quest how these short pieces can be arranged to create meaning (Lobova et al , 2020).…”

Purpose The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in different sectors have become agendas for discussions in the highest circle of experts. The applications of AI can help society and can harm society even by jeopardizing human rights. The purpose of this study is to examine the evolution of AI and its impacts on human rights from social and legal perspectives. Design/methodology/approach With the help of studies of literature and different other AI and human rights-related reports, this study has taken an attempt to provide a comprehensive and executable framework to address these challenges contemplated to occur due to the increase in usage of different AI applications in the context of human rights. Findings This study finds out how different AI applications could help society and harm society. It also highlighted different legal issues and associated complexity arising due to the advancement of AI technology. Finally, the study also provided few recommendations to the governments, private enterprises and non-governmental organizations on the usage of different AI applications in their organizations. Research limitations/implications This study mostly deals with the legal, social and business-related issues arising due to the advancement of AI technology. The study does not penetrate the technological aspects and algorithms used in AI applications. Policymakers, government agencies and private entities, as well as practitioners could take the help of the recommendations provided in this study to formulate appropriate regulations to control the usage of AI technology and its applications. Originality/value This study provides a comprehensive view of the emergence of AI technology and its implication on human rights. There are only a few studies that examine AI and related human rights issues from social, legal and business perspectives. Thus, this study is claimed to be a unique study. Also, this study provides valuable inputs to the government agencies, policymakers and practitioners about the need to formulate a comprehensive regulation to control the usage of AI technology which is also another unique contribution of this study.
