Commented on AI in education, teaching, learning
AI is rapidly entering the classroom, and with it comes a need for clear rules and direction. AI offers exciting opportunities to enhance learning, but it shouldn't replace teachers. Instead, it should be a tool to empower them. By promoting an understanding of AI, we can prepare students for the complexities of the modern world and equip them with the skills to navigate an uncertain future. As the US Department of Education warns (https://tech.ed.gov/files/2023/05/ai-future-of-teaching-and-learning-report.pdf), it's crucial to address AI in education to reap its benefits, minimize risks, and avoid unforeseen consequences.

Journal

Commented on IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing
The IEEE editorial decision-making process for academic journals typically involves the following steps: Initial editor screening: The editor will first screen the paper to ensure it meets the journal's formatting requirements and falls within the journal's scope. Peer review: The editor will then assign the paper to two or three reviewers who are experts in the field. The reviewers will evaluate the paper based on its originality, significance, methodology, clarity, and overall quality. Editorial decision: Based on the reviewers' reports, the editor will make a decision on the paper. The possible decisions include: Accept: The paper is of high quality and can be published without any revisions. Reject: The paper is not of sufficient quality for publication in the journal. Revise and resubmit: The paper has merit but needs to be revised before it can be published. Minor revisions: The paper can be published with only minor revisions.

Commented on Green Technologies and Sustainability
Ethical consumerism is poised to play a transformative role in reshaping industry standards through Green Technologies, such as the metaverse. By offering immersive experiences highlighting sustainable and humane farming practices, virtual environments can influence consumer behaviours, encouraging demand for ethically produced animal products. This shift toward ethical consumerism demands a careful balance between promoting transparency and avoiding the pitfalls of misrepresentation or greenwashing. The digitalization of livestock farming unveils novel business opportunities, from monetizing farm-generated data to offering specialized consultancy services. Diversification of income sources can diminish dependence on conventional farming income, paving the way for more resilient and versatile business models.
