This volume is the result of a collaboration between a hard scientist/IT expert, a legal expert and a social scientist. Given that issues and problems in science and technology are so complex, a multidisciplinary approach can better generate ideas or interpret the issues surrounding ChatGPT.Section 1 by June TAY provides the background, context and framework for the contents of the volume. Tay traces the genesis of ChatGPT to provide a better understanding of the subject matter of this book. And in detailing the background of ChatGPT, Tay lays out the limitations of the technology at the point of this writing. She also touches on the legal and ethical implications of the technology (a subject matter that will be picked up in the next section).Section 2 by Lee Cheng TAN compares the three governance frameworks in China, the EU and US as they relate to generative AI and in particular, Large Language Models (LLM). The comparison looks at each jurisdiction's data protection regime, AI laws, copyright laws, regulators and ethical frameworks.The legal aspects of GenAI development lead into the final section of the volume by Tai Wei LIM which looks at Chinese chatbots from a political-economic as well as multidisciplinary area studies point of view. The technocratic state and its social scientific ecology in producing AI and chatbots are discussed in detail. The all-of-society and all-of-government approach are covered in this case study section.

This book explores the systemic treatment of women in various countries — especially in the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East, and in sub-Saharan Africa — highlighting why these areas are amongst the most dangerous places in the world for women to reside. Drawing on global data and real-world observations, the author investigates the cultural, societal, and political factors that perpetuate gender-based violence and discrimination.The writing of this book was inspired by stark realities: about one in three women world-wide has suffered violence, usually from a husband or partner during her lifetime; 200 million have been subjected to female genital mutilation in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia; 130 million are 'demographically missing' across the low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) due to gender bias; nearly half the women in 57 LMIC are denied autonomy over reproductive health decisions and the right to seek health care, and 12 million live births worldwide are among girls aged 15-19 years. Drawn from data from the World Health Organisation, these sobering figures lay the foundation for a broader examination of deeply ingrained societal norms and systemic failures.While acknowledging that gender-based violence is a global issue — including in wealthier nations — the book pays particular attention to how public attitudes in many LMIC often tolerate, excuse, or even endorse harmful practices. Yet, amid the grim statistics and persistent injustices, the book also charts the slow but steady progress being made though through education, advocacy, and policy reforms aimed at empowering women and securing their rightful place in society.
