This book is organized to provide a clear and logical development from knowledge of the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and automation to applying these principles in situations that occur in the real world. To provide a strong basis for readers who may be unfamiliar with these notions, we examine the most important technologies and the historical context in which they have existed. Following this, we will move on to the more practical aspects of implementation, providing insights into how artificial intelligence might improve the operations of businesses as well as personal efficiency. In addition, we look into the future and anticipate future trends, considering how new developments may influence the subsequent wave of AI-powered products.

Surface transport plays a fundamental role in nearly all social and economic activity. Providing and maintaining the infrastructure consumes enormous resources. Thus, it is essential that this be carried out in the most efficient and effective way possible. Many options are available to provide surface transport infrastructure public ministries and agencies, public-private partnerships (PPPs), state-owned companies, private and non-profit entities, and outright privatisation. There are also various means of paying for it, including user charging, subsidies, public borrowing or private financing. This report examines key principles that should be considered by governments in deciding how to provide and pay for surface transport infrastructure, with a view to best serving societies needs and employing public resources. It also considers the key issues that must be resolved in making more use of private financing and expertise.

In SOUTH KOREA: The Price of Efficiency and Success, second edition, authors John Gonzalez and Young Lee combine their educational training and professional experiences to look behind the public face of South Korea. Through stories, anecdotes, and hard evidence, they capture Koreans being themselves without the glamour and glitz of K-pop, K-beauty, and K-drama. They examine the conditions, behavioral patterns, and cultural values that helped lift the country from the ashes after the Korean War to the international stage as the fifth-largest economy in Asia and 13th in the world. Their analysis includes the price Koreans have paid for the country’s astonishing achievements and the existing social inequality. In the current edition, the authors have thoroughly revised and updated the narrative, incorporating a discussion of recent significant events, such as the deadly 2022 Itaewon crowd crush.
