Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Our study, based around an experiment, examines the consequences when generative AI tools are used to create and assess sustainability disclosures. There are two key findings: (1) that generative AI greenwashes sustainability disclosures, with our study participants doing little to mitigate this, and (2) that our study participants viewed AI ...

Numerical tests of steel beam-to-column semi-rigid connections
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2003 This paper presents an analysis of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections in which the beam is connected to column not at 90 degrees angle. Beam-to-column bolted end-plate connections that are subjected to pure bending were modelled by three-dimensional ...
