Smart city strategies developed by cities around the world provide a useful resource for insights into the future of smart development. This study examines such strategies to identify plans for the explicit deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. A total of 12 case studies emerged from an online keyword search representing cities of various sizes globally. The search was based on the keywords of “artificial intelligence” (or “AI”), and “robot,” representing robotics and associated terminology. Based on the findings, it is evident that the more concentrated deployment of AI and robotics in smart city development is currently in the Global North, although countries in the Global South are also increasingly represented. Multiple cities in Australia and Canada actively seek to develop AI and robotics, and Moscow has one of the most in-depth elaborations for this deployment. The ramifications of these plans are discussed as part of cyber–physical systems alongside consideration given to the social and ethical implications.

The article examines the legal regime of intellectual property created by artificial intelligence. Changes to the existing legal framework towards recognizing artificial intelligence as a legal entity would violate the rationale and fundamental principles of the intellectual property rights system. This article provides an overview of different views on the rationale for granting copyright to ...

Comprehensive data on natural hazards and their consequences are crucial for effective for risk assessment, adaptation planning, and emergency response. However, many countries face challenges with fragmented, inconsistent, and inaccessible data, particularly regarding local-scale events. To address this data gap in Russia, we developed an end-to-end processing pipeline that scrapes news from various online sources, ...

Abstract. The paper presents a brief review of intelligent interfaces and systems of human-machine interaction. To date, few intelligent interfaces and systems are used in various areas of industry. All the systems of human-machine interaction can be divided into intelligent synthesis and analysis systems. Intelligent synthesis implies the presentation of information from the system to ...

Recent theoretical developments in ecological approaches to culture challenge the prevailing East–West framing of cultural variation by emphasizing a north–south axis linked to local habitat stability and climatic demands. Building on Van de Vliert et al.’s (2025) ecological analysis, we replicate their preliminary tests across 83 Russian regions and add focused analyses to clarify the ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

The study analyzes the economic nature of public utilities. It demonstrates that they are provided by economic entities with a monopoly position in local (settlement) markets, which necessitates state regulation of their activities. At the same time, utilities are a mixed (club) good and have such a characteristic of a public good as non-rival consumption. ...

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in automation, minimizing human intervention in fields such as medicine, art, and law. Despite the historically close relationship between art and technology, generative AI has expanded the potential for creative activity. A significant catalyst for this process has been the proliferation of pre-trained AI systems, which have accelerated the ...

The article examines the influence of “new rural residents” – immigrants from Nizhny Novgorod and
Moscow, on a semi-peripheral district of the Non-Chernozem Region, as well as the transformation of its
economy and society in connection with population replacement. Issues related to the territorial heterogeneity
of the “new rural” influence are also considered. The research site, i.e. the ...

The nature and intensity of migration processes are constantly changing. Demographic statistics are not suitable for obtaining up-to-date information and making timely decisions in the field of demographic and social policy. Thus, digital demography is becoming increasingly important, as this area of population research uses new methods and data sources resulting from the Internet expansion ...

The article considers the influence of “path dependence” on the adaptation of old industrial territories of the Nizhny Novgorod Region to the changing economic conditions in the post-Soviet period. The authors identify two different development trajectories — in the northern part (Pavlovsky and Vachsky districts) with a predominance of small business and handicraft production and in ...

The Central-West region of Brazil emerged in the second half of the 20th century, when Brasilia, built on previously empty land, became the country’s capital. Its economic specialization has been driven by the development of the Cerrado savannas and the expansion of an agro-industrial complex, a process comparable to agricultural colonization campaigns in the United ...

This paper eхamines the phenomenon of medium-sized cities in Brazil, which in recent decades have played an increasingly prominent role in the socio-economic development of the country. The criterion of urban population in a municipality (between 100,000 and 500,000 people) is used to classify cities as medium-sized, but their geographical location and socio-economic characteristics are ...

Социально-экономический кризис на Украине длится уже давно, что привело к открытому социально-политическому конфликту. Цели постсоветской трансформации не получили одобрения населения Украины, у граждан постоянно возникало чувство разочарования, пропадали доверие к власти и вера в будущее страны. Роль денежных переводов трудовых мигрантов нередко занижают, хотя личное потребление и стабильность в стране во многом связаны именно с ...
