The IMT-2030 framework provides the vision and conceptual foundation for the next-generation of mobile broadband systems, colloquially known as Sixth-Generation (6G) cellular networks. Academic circles, industry players, and Standard Developing Organizations (SDOs) are already engaged in early standardization discussions for the system, providing key insights for future technical specifications. In this context, a structured thematic review of literature contributions aligned with IMT-2030 is essential to inform the discussions and assist collaboration among 6G stakeholders—including scholars, professionals, regulators, and SDO officials. This article adopts a semi-systematic methodology to identify, analyze, and synthesize 6G literature across five core thematic areas: (1) 6G Vision, (2) Use Cases, Performance Requirements, and Architectural Trends (3) Enabling Technologies, (4) Impact on Vertical Sectors, and (5) the 6G Research Frontier. The core themes follow an evolution-oriented structure that mirrors the transition from 5G to 6G, in line with the design principles, use cases, technical capabilities, and technological trends outlined for IMT-2030. To ensure coverage of well-established contributions, the article screens literature published between 2019 and 2025 using IEEE Xplore and Scopus databases, prioritizing highly cited papers, seminal white papers, and early SDO documentation aligned with the IMT-2030 framework. This approach balances breadth and depth, allowing for a representative overview of the field. By combining structured screening with thematic synthesis, this article delivers a concise yet comprehensive account of 6G literature for both specialists and generalists engaged in shaping future standards and advancing 6G research.

This article introduces the concept of machine learning misogyny to describe how emerging computational systems reproduce, amplify, and legitimize gender-based discrimination. We explore the digital afterlife of #MeToo to examine how feminist storytelling is fragmented, co-opted, and erased in an era of surveillance capitalism and reactionary backlash. The paper suggests that as digital infrastructures increasingly determine which voices are heard, believed, and silenced, feminist discourse is being reshaped by forces beyond traditional activism and backlash. To make this argument, we analyze case studies of machine learning misogyny, including AI companions, pro-natalist reproductive tech, and content moderation tools, to illustrate the resurgence of gendered and racialized control. Through critiques of platform governance and case studies of technological co-optation, this article asks: what forms of feminist resistance remain possible in an era of digital precarity? Drawing on scholars, activists, and speculative futures, we propose feminist reimagining rooted in consent, care, and coalition. Ultimately, we argue that feminist survival in the digital age requires resisting not only institutional erasure but also the seductions of surface-level technological reform.

Limiting global warming to below 1.5°C necessitates a global shift toward renewable energy sources (RESs). However, transitioning to a fully RES-based power system presents challenges related to technical feasibility, socio-political implications, economic factors, and geographical differences. This study examines the feasibility of such a transition from multiple dimensions, including the technical integration and stability of RES technologies, social acceptance, political landscape (policy design and regulatory frameworks), and geographical factors such as resource availability and regional demand. A systematic literature review, combined with a case study of the Integrated Nordic Power System (INPS), provides insights into these challenges. INPS is selected for its complexity and its representation of a large-scale, multi-country power system. The findings highlight the key role of region-specific strategies, stakeholder engagement, and strong policy and regulatory support in enabling successful renewable energy transitions. The INPS case study demonstrates how regional cooperation can help address geographical and political disparities, offering valuable lessons for global applications. Despite the challenges, transitioning to a fully RES-based power system presents significant benefits, including environmental sustainability, socioeconomic development, and long-term cost reductions. Achieving this transition requires substantial investment, technological advancements, strategic management, and global collaboration, highlighting the necessity of long-term political commitment and stakeholder consensus.

Within the context of a technology-dependent society, the importance of concepts of resilience is well-accepted. The original definition of resilience was very simple and it is unsurprising that, as the term has been applied to progressively more complex fields, the original definition has expanded. Within the many and complex fields in which resilience has been considered, expanded definitions of resilience and metrics of resilience have been proposed by several authors, yet other authors have noted that none of these definitions are widely accepted. This analysis does not propose an alternative definition nor an alternative metric. Rather, this paper identifies and codifies several concepts that are commonly entangled within the concept of resilience. The significance of a particular capability, described as that which is sufficient and necessary to repair/replace failed subsystems, has been identified as an embedded but poorly-studied concept. The study of such a capability including the study of its scope-overlap with operational systems, its distinct vulnerabilities and its effect on the actual resilience of technological systems, is evaluated and shown to be both essential and inadequately studied.

The sector of information and communication technology (ICT) can contribute to the fulfillment of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the introduction of sustainability strategies. For environmental sustainability, such strategies need to contain efficiency, sufficiency, and consistency measures. Based on a critical review of the literature and systems thinking, a structural analysis of ICT is performed and various sustainability measures of all three categories are proposed. Thereby, it is focused on user devices and their ecosystems. By describing ICT as a complex system, key mechanisms and dynamics behind the use of ICT and the corresponding use of energy and resources are analyzed. The system contains data centers, communication networks, smartphone hardware, apps, and the behavior of users as subsystems, between which various Morinian interactions are present. Energy and non-energy resources can be seen as inputs of the system, while electronic waste (e-waste) is an output. Based on the system description, various measures for technical, operational, regulatory, and transparency improvements are proposed to enhance the environmental sustainability of ICT. The measures are classified according to their underlying leverage points to evaluate their possible effectiveness. Recommendations for future research are provided.

As artificial intelligence systems increasingly emulate empathy – recognizing, interpreting, responding to human emotional states and psychological contexts, and potentially appearing to genuinely care about a person – questions emerge about the personal and societal implications of these developments. Emulated empathy may enhance usability, engagement, and accessibility, but it also raises concerns about manipulation, commodification of interior life, and detachment from reality. Such issues regarding emulated empathy have been raised in relation to AI companions. While AI systems may arguably possess functional aspects of empathy, mimicry of human empathy also reveals fundamental differences between human and computational forms. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and AI ethics, the paper discusses whether such systems pose a threat to human connection or could instead augment it. Special attention is given to the IEEE P$7014.1{^{text {TM}}}$ standard, which outlines ethical considerations and recommended practices for human-AI partnerships involving emulated empathy. In additional to advancing conceptual understanding of emulated empathy, the paper argues for a proactive governance approach that combines soft law with regulatory safeguards to mitigate harm, uphold trust, and guide responsible design in this emerging domain.
随着人工智能系统越来越多地模仿移情——识别、解释、响应人类的情绪状态和心理环境，并可能表现出真正关心一个人——有关这些发展对个人和社会影响的问题出现了。模拟的移情可能会增强可用性、参与度和可访问性，但它也引发了对操纵、内部生活商品化和脱离现实的担忧。关于人工智能同伴的模拟同理心问题已经被提出。虽然人工智能系统可能具有移情的功能方面，但对人类移情的模仿也揭示了人类和计算形式之间的根本差异。本文借鉴了神经科学、心灵哲学和人工智能伦理的见解，讨论了这些系统是对人类关系构成威胁，还是可以增强它。特别关注IEEE P $7014.1{^{text {TM}}}$标准，该标准概述了涉及模拟同理心的人类-人工智能伙伴关系的道德考虑和推荐实践。除了推进对模拟同理心的概念理解外，本文还提出了一种积极主动的治理方法，将软法律与监管保障相结合，以减轻伤害，维护信任，并指导这一新兴领域的负责任设计。

As AI systems increasingly influence various aspects of human life, it is critical to ensure their development and deployment align with ethical standards and societal values. Our paper argues that integrating expertise from Humanities, Social, and Economic Sciences (HSES) into AI development is essential to achieving responsible AI. We present four compelling reasons to advocate for this integration: enhancing social legitimacy, ensuring meaningful impact, strengthening credibility and capability building. These reasons emerged from a collaborative effort involving 16 researchers from AI and HSES fields. Together, we explored the enablers and barriers to integrating our knowledge for the purpose of developing effective, responsible, and socially grounded AI products. We aim to inspire others to adopt an integrated approach to AI development, promoting innovations that are both technologically advanced and aligned with societal needs.
