Abstract

This chapter explores how drones are used for morally controversial applications, while also interrogating the distinctiveness of these functions. It focusses on the uses of drones for purposes of human destruction, analysing documentary and film as insights into the impacts of such applications. In so doing, the chapter considers how drones change the nature of military conflict, creating even greater removal of the human subject from the location in which violence occurs. It also inquires into what it means when preparation for war is best achieved through experimental and playful enterprises, such as drone racing and gaming culture. Finally, the chapter documents some of the more harmful uses of drones in civilian crime and disorder contexts.

Abstract

Introduction: The world is passing through a technology explosion phase where one technology is being replaced by another very quickly. Emerging technologies play more important roles in the insurance sector directly or indirectly. These technologies have a high potential to change the insurance paradigm.

Purpose: In this chapter, we discuss emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, blockchain, the internet of things (IoT), mobile technology, predictive analytics, social media, telematics, chatbots, low codes, and drones in the context of the insurance industry.

Methodology: To carry out our analysis, we searched for data using the keywords for each technology from the Web of Science (WoS) coral database. Certain inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed to select the articles for further analysis. R-studio was used for the data analysis and visualisation.

Findings: It was found that the highest number of research articles published are related to big data, followed by AI and social media. The first article on AI in insurance appeared in 1975. Social media is the highest cited new technology, whereas the low codes are the undiscovered paradigm for the insurance sector with no published research. Research on the impact of chatbots, drones, and mobile technology in the insurance industry is still at a nascent stage. We also noticed that the United States is leading the research on emerging technologies in the insurance sector.

Implications: This chapter audits the emerging technologies in the insurance sector and identifies technological areas with the highest, least, or no research, dominant journals, authors, and countries. This holistic overview empowers managers and academicians to decide the future course of action.

Abstract

This chapter examines the utilisation of drones for creative expression, focussing on applications which span the use of drones as artistic inquiry and exploration, to their uses as political activism. It begins by discussing the common ground between art and science, proceeding to then analyse critical artistic interventions using drones. Such works function as forms of critical design and investigate the creative potential of drones, as performers and props. In sum, it characterises the emergence of drone art as a distinct new media art form, which locates collaboration at its heart and which exemplifies the value of bridging the art, science and technology divide.
