Abstract  Trust is part of what buildings have in common with humans. Once that trust is broken, lives are placed in jeopardy. Building Information Modelling (BIM) turns construction data from paperwork into protective intelligence by exposing hidden conflicts, thus preventing potentially dangerous assumptions being made and establishing a single source of accountability across all teams. BIM is a data management tool that could also be used in post-war settings, converting p

Girls and women with disabilities face discrimination more than their male peers due to gender-based barriers, affecting their access to education, healthcare, employment and social inclusion. AI offers transformative support, where AI tools for disabilities enhance independence by converting text/speech, assisting with navigation, automating smart homes, and providing personalized learning, breaking down barriers for users with visual, hearing, speech, cognitive, and mobilit

Every second, massive amounts of information are produced by smart devices (smartphones, sensors), as well as applications (social media, online services). The generated information is a driving force for innovation, which defines how communities identify challenges, govern cities and systems, even teach students, as well as make policy changes. Although technologies that use data promise efficiency, progress, and development, they also pose essential questions concerning the

The exponential growth of data demands a shift from quantity-driven to purpose-driven data use. Data with purpose focuses on intentional collection and application aligned with measurable societal benefit. Excessive and unfocused data collection often obscures insights, increases operational complexity, and magnifies ethical risk [1]. Purpose-driven data practices ensure that information serves defined objectives, particularly in sectors where human well-being is directly aff

Introduction Technology is no longer merely a set of assistive tools; it has become an integral part of the fabric of human daily life. With the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the relationship between humans and knowledge, work, and creativity has fundamentally changed. The question is no longer about the existence of AI, but rather about the extent of its impact on humans. Is it becoming a substitute in fields such as literature, audio, and authorship, or is it s

From location pings to biometric readings, in a world filled with digital signals, data shapes our everyday movements. And yet, for millions of women around the world, the most urgent data is the one that remains unrecorded: the ones produced during a moment of fear, danger, or vulnerability. Technology has grown amazingly fast, while the safety of women has not moved at the same pace. This gap must be addressed: Data with Purpose, a frame of thinking that can change informat
