A risk-based framework for AI implementation in major events: implications for partner organisations to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic games
Full text linkThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in major sporting events like the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Games) and the Australian Open is reshaping how these events are managed, experienced, and regulated. The 2032 Brisbane Games are set to catalyse significant economic growth in Australia, creating opportunities for hospitality and tourism sectors. These businesses are rapidly developing and deploying AI tools to meet growing consumer demand for personalisation and round-the-clock service (Kim et al. 2024). However, in their haste to adopt AI, businesses May overlook critical privacy, data security, and ethical challenges. AI complexity poses significant risk assessment challenges. In response to the evolving AI landscape, new governance frameworks are shaping regulations. This study critically analyses existing risk-based AI frameworks, focusing primarily on Australia's AI Safety Standard. It also considers the EU AI Act, the National Framework for the Assurance of Artificial Intelligence in Government (NFAAIG), and Queensland's Foundational AI risk assessment framework (FAIRA). While some of these frameworks are designed for government use, they offer valuable insights for hospitality and tourism businesses, providing best practices for AI implementation, risk management, and ethical considerations. The analysis reveals that these principles can help businesses align with government expectations, prepare for potential future regulations, and build public trust. The study concludes with specific recommendations for 2032 Brisbane Games partners to navigate AI adoption while ensuring compliance, safety, and ethical considerations. The speed and scalable nature of AI deployment has exposed vulnerabilities in governing its responsible use. In sporting events AI tools are used in operations management, financial aspects, advanced performance analysis, and enhancing fan engagement via technologies like virtual assistant referees, automated content creation, and personalised experiences (Glebova, 2023). Although the literature has explored AI implementation in event management, there is limited research focusing on the associated risks. In anticipation of federal legislation, the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Resources (2024) has released the first version of Australia's AI Safety Standard, consisting of 10 voluntary guardrails that apply to all organisations throughout the AI supply chain ("Guardrails"). This study adopts a risk-based approach to evaluate the impact of AI on operational efficiency, customer experience enhancement, data security, privacy, and ethical considerations based on the comprehensive framework for risk management, ISO 31000:2009. It draws insights from the current use of AI in major sporting events, including the 2024 Paris Games. The study is framed by the Guardrails alongside references to the landmark EU AI Act, NFAAIG and FAIRA, all adopted in 2024. Specifically, this study will: - Evaluate the extent to which AI being used in the delivery of major sporting events - Examine how the Guardrails and international regulation ensure that Australian major sporting events remain protected and sustainable - Analyse how existing risk-based AI frameworks inform directors' duties and corporate governance responsibilities for hospitality and tourism businesses involved in the 2032 Brisbane Games The study is structured around four primary dimensions of ISO 31000:2009. Each dimension is further segmented into specific risk factors and mitigation strategies, providing a comprehensive guide for event organisers and managers: Operational Efficiency The potential risks associated with AI-driven resource allocation, scheduling, and inventory management are reviewed. Strategies for integrating AI systems with existing event management software and training staff are proposed to work alongside AI tools effectively. Customer Experience Enhancement Best practices are outlined for utilising AI for personalised services such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and recommendation systems. The tools need to inform consumers that they are interacting with AI and provide clear options for human intervention ensuring that AI interactions augment rather than substitute human touch points. Data Security and Privacy The Paris 2024 Games set new standards for immersive AI experiences supported by its AI partner, Intel (Olympic International Committee [IOC], 2024). As emerging layers of legislation and governance unfurl, previously used AI implementations May no longer be legal. Risks associated with collecting and processing large volumes of personal data during major events are assessed according to national and international data protection regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Balancing the benefits of innovation and efficiencies with potential privacy concerns robust measures for secure data handling and storage are proposed. Ethical Considerations Taking inspiration from the Guardrails, the ethical development, deployment and use of AI should navigate AI bias, transparency, and accountability. Guidelines are provided for ensuring fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes, such as ticket allocation or VIP upgrades, and emphasises the importance of maintaining human oversight in critical areas. Conclusion and Implications This study will contribute to the existing literature at the intersection of AI, business law, and tourism and hospitality. It will offer practical recommendations for commercial and non-profit organisations in Australia, including those preparing for the 2032 Brisbane Games.Bachelor of Hospitality ManagementHolmesglen InstituteCAUTHE 2025 ConferenceBrisban
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
