- Abstract
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) can help students learn successfully, yet little work has explored the role of caregivers in shaping that success. Past interventions to support caregivers in supporting their child's homework have been largely disjunct from educational technology. The paper presents prototyping design research with nine middle school caregivers. We ask: (1) what are caregivers' preferences for different prototypes incorporating data-driven recommendations into their math homework support? Integrating caregivers' preferences, we then ask: (2) what are caregivers' perceptions when interacting with a prototype of an intelligent chatbot tool to support students' homework? We found caregivers reported feeling comfortable integrating AI into their practices and appreciated chat-based support for understanding content and effective ITS use. Our results highlight the affordances of ITS data and AI to assist caregivers who would otherwise not be able to support their child's homework, paving the way for more effective and equitable mathematics learning.

Purpose: This paper explores the revolution in accounting driven by technological innovations, highlighting the transition of digitalization from a mere choice to a vital business necessity. The dynamic environment requires accountants to understand and incorporate new technologies to thrive in an ever-evolving business environment. The so-called "new" technologies promise to perform tasks more agile and efficient, thus providing a faster and more cost-effective approach in various sectors (White et al., 2017). In turn, companies' success is intrinsically linked to the ability to invest, use, and exploit these technological innovations effectively (Cong et al., 2018). With the continuous advancement of increasingly sophisticated technologies with disruptive capabilities, new companies have emerged to adopt innovative business models (Watson, 2017), while some established institutions have reinvented their business models. As a result of this dynamic context, the accounting professions are under pressure, as indicated by several studies (e.g., Cai & Singh, 2019; Kaya et al., 2019; Kokina & Blanchette, 2019; Kruskopf et al., 2019; Marshall & Lambert, 2018). At the same time, there is a permanent need to reinvent accounting education (Alderman, 2019; Kokina & Blanchette, 2019; Pan & Seow, 2016), to keep up with current changes. Thus, this paper aims to provide a concise overview of emerging technologies in accounting, highlighting findings that contribute to the up-to-date understanding of the transformative role of these technologies in contemporary accounting practice. Methodology: In this work, a literature review was carried out, looking for articles related to emerging technologies in accounting and published in important and quality scientific journals. The research was conducted in Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Google Scholar on emerging technologies in accounting (search terms: "emerg* technolog*" and "accounting"), in the period between 2003-2023. Subsequently, the articles to be considered were manually selected, as well as the relevant information in each of them. More precisely, the search was restricted to documents presumed to be scientific articles written in English. Subsequently, through a verification process, we manually analyzed all keywords, titles, and abstracts of the articles, and when necessary, the entire content of each article included in the database was reviewed. Results: The rapid digital transformation that we are witnessing is transversal to all areas and accounting and auditing has undergone several changes in recent years, with a transformation of business models (Tiron-Tudor et al., 2024). As artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data analytics, robotics, cybersecurity, and other advanced technologies permeate the accounting field, we are witnessing not only the modernization of processes, but also the training of professionals to become strategic and analytical agents. These innovations are not simply additions to accounting practice, but transformations that transcend how we understand and perform accounting work. The literature has recognised that the combination of various technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics can be an asset for solving problems in the areas of accounting and auditing (Asatiani et al. 2020; Cooper et al. 2020; Ribeiro et al. 2021). The introduction of new technologies is a complex, time-consuming and, in certain circumstances, costly process. This can be a challenge, particularly for smaller companies, which may not be able to implement new technologies on a scale comparable to larger companies. Consequently, these companies may face difficulties adapting to technological changes (Marr, 2016). The continued advancement of AI and other emerging technologies, combined with an increasing ability to analyze large volumes of data, has increased the threat of significant automation of many jobs in the future (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2014). However, it is crucial to remember that even with the extinction of some jobs, new job opportunities will emerge (Marr, 2016). Originality: The theme of accounting transformation driven by emerging technologies is both original and crucial. It originally highlights how traditional accounting practices are reinvented by rapid technological evolution. It's important because companies that don't keep up with these changes risk being left behind in a competitive market. The importance also lies in the changing role of accounting professionals who use advanced technologies to aid decisionmaking. In short, this theme highlights the need for organizations to understand and adopt emerging technologies to ensure their sustainability and growth in a dynamic business environment.

The article describes the possibility of applying artificial intelligence in broad scientific research in the field of magnetic abrasive finishing. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to accelerate research work at certain stages, which reduces costs. A prerequisite for its use is the formulation of appropriate queries and limiting the range of responses. These limitations are mainly due to the lack of access to scientific databases. The paper uses OpenAI software called Chat GPT and describes the specifics of the work. The paper examines the various aspects of creating a scientific study starting with selecting a topic, reviewing the literature, developing a research methodology, developing and analyzing the results, and drawing conclusions. The topic of intellectual property and the originality of the results and conclusions obtained was also touched upon. On this basis, a comparison was prepared showing the areas of scientific activity where the use of artificial intelligence is most effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Researchers are currently paying increased attention to the problem of green supplier selection because it affects the performance of green supply performance. However, the previous article never discussed the literature review on Green Supplier Selection for the Agri-food Industry. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide a thorough analysis of the methodology and context of Green Supplier Selection for the Agri-food Industry. From 2014 to 2022, 28 peer-reviewed papers were collected from the Scopus database and Google Scholar searches. This review study is divided into two problem contexts: green supplier selection and green supplier selection and order allocation. Furthermore, this review is based on a methodology that incorporates problem-solving techniques such as Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), Mathematical Programming (MP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Hybrid (Integrating MCDM-MP and MCDM-AI). The results show that the Green Supplier Selection problem has received the most attention, followed by the Green Supplier Selection & Order Allocation problem. Furthermore, the MCDM procedure dominates the methodology used in the Green Supplier Selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
