One of the actors within this ecosystem is startup accelerators, which provide networking opportunities, financial and mentoring assistance to new ventures. Previous research on ac
In one way or another, everyone is a pedestrian. The planning for walkable cities has received more and more attention over the years. Researchers in the fields of transportation, the health sciences, urban design, and environmental psychology have all contributed to the walkability research by focusing on different aspects of walking.

One such challenge relates to how we attribute and distribute responsibility when artificial intelligence decision support systems (AI-DSS) are part of human decision-making, also known as the “responsibility gap”. This paper explores what factors can faci
