Beyond Spatial Reasoning: Challenges For Ecological Problem Solving, Christian Freksa Jul 2021

Beyond Spatial Reasoning: Challenges For Ecological Problem Solving, Christian Freksa

Journal of Spatial Information Science

This vision piece reflects upon virtues of early computer science due to scarcity and high cost of computational resources. It critically assesses divergences between real-world problems and their computational counterparts in commonsense problem solving. The paper points out the different objectives of commonsense versus scientific approaches to problem solving. It describes how natural cognitive systems exploit space and time without explicitly representing their properties and why purely computational approaches are less efficient than their natural role models, as they depend on explicit representations. We argue for investigating spatio-temporally integrated methods to spatial problem solving. We contrast these methods to sequential …


Adoption Of Artificial Intelligence (Ai) In Local Governments: An Exploratory Study On The Attitudes And Perceptions Of Officials In A Municipal Government In The Philippines, Charmaine B. Distor, Odkhuu Khaltar, M. Jae Moon Jan 2021

Adoption Of Artificial Intelligence (Ai) In Local Governments: An Exploratory Study On The Attitudes And Perceptions Of Officials In A Municipal Government In The Philippines, Charmaine B. Distor, Odkhuu Khaltar, M. Jae Moon

Journal of Public Affairs and Development

Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) have been instrumental in transforming governments in recent years, which is why several agencies worldwide have integrated them into their governance strategies. One of the countries that have paid attention to the potential of AI is the Philippines, which launched its national AI roadmap in 2021. This study investigated the perceived acceptance and adoption of AI in the Municipality of Carmona located in the Province of Cavite. Following the combined constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), perception data were gathered from among Carmona’s …
