Track Description
The rapid technological advances in the digital era have had
profound and paradoxical impact on modern societies. Digital
technology is a disruptive force that simultaneously enhances and
challenges long-cherished and fundamental human values such as
liberty, equality and fraternity (Rowe, 2018). The enhanced
visibility on digital platforms that represent freedom of
expression, representation, connectivity and collective action is
at once generating enormous risks associated with privacy, trust,
solidarity and the emergence of surveillance capitalism.
The extensive digitization that has transformed our social and
work lives also raises significant ethical questions such as
workplace surveillance, the right to disconnect, big data
profiling, and calls for responsible research and innovation.
Robotics, artificial intelligence and automation will have
substantial impact on the future of work and on human development.
The scale, scope and speed of digitization has not been matched by
similar advances in ethical, regulatory and legal frameworks. Fake
news is making it complex to filter fact from fiction, good from
bad and real from artificial creating doubts about the
authenticity of digitization.
The organisational and societal implications of our digitizing
world are far reaching and multifaceted. The relentless march of
digitization and data capitalism raise a myriad of moral, ethical,
philosophical, socio-economic and political implications that need
to be addressed by IS researchers. This conference theme track,
therefore, seeks to examine how digital technologies impact human
values, particularly at the organisational and societal levels. We
seek papers that go beyond behavioural research and use other
perspectives such as socio-economic, political, philosophical and
ethical to address the interplay between digitization and values.
We particularly welcome contributions that use novel theoretical
approaches and methods to examine how digitization can or cannot
create an inclusive and sustainable world that respects
fundamental human values of liberty, equality and fraternity, and
where the potential for harm is both understood and addressed. In
a digitalized world dominat
ed by centralization is there a way to re-decentralize the web and
systems?
The track invites both completed research papers and
research-in-progress papers.
