The article discusses development of autonomous artificial intelligence systems for corporate management. The function of a corporate director is still one of the few that are legislated for execution by a “natural” rather than an “artificial” person. The main prerequisites for development of systems for full automation of management decisions made at the level of a board of directors are formed in the field of corporate law, machine learning, and compliance with the rules of non-discrimination, transparency, and accountability of decisions made and algorithms applied. The basic methodological approaches in terms of corporate law for the “autonomous director” have already been developed and do not get rejection among representatives of the legal sciences. However, there is an undeniable need for further extensive research in order to amend corporate law to effectively introduce “autonomous directors”. In practice, there are two main options of management decisions automation at the level of top management and a board of directors: digital command centers or automation of separate functions. Artificial intelligence systems will be subject to the same strict requirements for non-discrimination, transparency, and accountability as “natural” directors. At a certain stage, autonomous systems can be an effective tool for countries, regions, and companies with a shortage of human capital, equalizing or providing additional chances for such countries and companies to compete on the global market.

The paper presents examples from different fields of human activity in which computer vision technology is used. It is analyzed what is machine vision, how it differs from computer vision. The advantages and disadvantages of the technology are touched upon, an overview of the system components and methods for processing machine vision is presented, and the areas in which it is applied are explored. The study shows how relevant and in demand computer vision is, as well as the ways of its progress in the near future. The issues of application of machine vision systems in monitoring the implementation of safety protocols, in quality management are touched upon. Here, machine vision is implemented as an automated visual control and quality control of production processes. The application of computer vision systems in transport for the classification of vehicles, their counting, traffic analysis, detection of traffic violations: speeding, running a red light, not allowing a pedestrian is considered. This improves road safety. Computer vision is used to detect distracted driving: drowsiness, daydreaming, distraction; up to the determination of the sobriety of the driver. The use of computer vision to monitor order in large cities is affected by determining the deviant behavior of citizens.

This study presents a circadian rhythm model. Specificity of such model is in consideration of the dynamic of two hormones and a neuromediator. Such an approach was taken due to the fact that circadian rhythms dynamics are largely expressed by cyclic quantity alteration of adenosine, cortisole and melatonin throughout the day. External factors effects were explored and their influence was imitated in the model. External factors influence on hormone's dynamic was analysed. Decision making assistance algorithm of external factors usage in correcting quantities of adenosine,cortisole and melatonin, was developed.

: Individuals change who they are in response to their social environment. In other words, one’s identityisdynamic,varyingaccordingtocontext(e.g.,individualspresent,place,task). Identityhasasignificant impact on an individual’s behaviour. Researchers have been interested in understanding how contextual aspects shape identity and, in turn, how identity influences behaviour. Agent-based simulation models are great tools to identify and predict behaviour associated with these identity processes. In addition, agents can employ identity-related mechanisms based on social theories to become more socially believable and similar to humans. The Social Identity Approach (SIA) is one of the most influential theories covering social aspects of one’s identity, with many of its concepts being applied in social simulation research. This paper formalizes the Dynamic Identity Model for Agents (DIMA), an existing agent-based model based on SIA, providing a detailed theoretical foundation of the model, as well as an overview of its integration as a component into a social agent architecture. In DIMA, agents perceive themselves either as distinct individuals (personal identity) or as members of a social group (social identity), acting according to their context-dependent active identity. Two simulation scenarios are presented here to illustrate the use of this model, one based on the Dictator Game and the other on a trash collection task. This work aims to guide other researchers who want to enhance their agents with the DIMA’s identity salience mechanism. As a result, they would not only be able to assess how this mechanism influences behaviour based on the context, but they would also be able to explore the dynamics between personal and social identities.
个体会随着社会环境的变化而改变自己。换句话说,一个人的身份是动态的,根据上下文(例如,个人在场、地点、任务)而变化。身份对一个人的行为有重大影响。研究人员一直感兴趣的是了解背景因素如何塑造身份,以及身份如何影响行为。基于代理的仿真模型是识别和预测与这些身份过程相关的行为的重要工具。此外,代理可以利用基于社会理论的身份相关机制,变得更具有社会可信度和与人类相似。社会认同方法(SIA)是涵盖个人身份的社会方面的最具影响力的理论之一,其许多概念被应用于社会模拟研究。本文形式化了基于SIA的基于agent的动态身份模型(Dynamic Identity Model for Agents, DIMA),提供了该模型的详细理论基础,并概述了其作为一个组件集成到社会agent体系结构中的情况。在DIMA中,行动者要么将自己视为独特的个体(个人身份),要么将自己视为社会群体的成员(社会身份),根据他们依赖于情境的主动身份行事。这里提供了两个模拟场景来说明该模型的使用,一个基于独裁者游戏,另一个基于垃圾收集任务。这项工作旨在指导其他想要用DIMA的身份突出机制来增强其代理人的研究人员。因此,他们不仅能够评估这种机制如何根据情境影响行为,而且还能够探索个人身份和社会身份之间的动态关系。

: As social media becomes increasingly integrated within the fabric of our digital lives, it is clear that these platforms have a great impact on our mental well-being and interpersonal relationships. However, recent events and studies suggest that these changes are not always for the better as social media might contribute to social polarization. In this work, we leverage agent-based modelling (ABM) techniques to simulate the associated opinion dynamics of polarization in social media platforms. To accomplish this, we first develop a methodology for distinguishing between different types of polarization. This enables a more nuanced investigation into the interplay between behavior online and behavior offline. We next expand on the public-private split model by introducing a novel “virtual worlds” framework for representing an online social media platform. Agents from the neighbor-constrained “real world” can “log-in” to these virtual worlds with a certain probability and participate in a complete network; this reflects the unique socioeconomic and geographic anonymity provided through social media. Additionally, global homophilic influence is incorporated and its relationship with local virtual world structure is considered. We finally perform a sensitivity analysis over a set of model parameters, and find that the incorporation of virtual worlds can result in the simultaneous presence of different types of polarization in the real and virtual worlds. These findings align with studies on social media from the literature, and suggest that the online platform provided by social media poses unique challenges with regards to investigating the presence of polarization.
