HICSS-56 Call for papers for the mini-track on:
"AI and the Future of Work"
Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track
of the Fifty-Sixth Annual
Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa
January 3-6, 2023
Developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are setting the stage
for a paradigm shift in the workplace. According to PwC, 72% of
business executives say that AI will give them a competitive
advantage in the future1. In fact, in many ways the future is
already here. Several repetitive and simple tasks that were
typically performed by humans are now being automated by AI
bundled with other technologies, such as cloud systems, augmented
reality, (social) robots, IoTs, and wearables. Consequently, the
ratio of tasks executed by machines to humans is dramatically
shifting. Human workers are rapidly being replaced with AI on many
fronts. For instance, in 2018 an average of 71% of total task
hours were performed by humans compared to 29% accomplished by
machines. However, this average is expected to shift dramatically
in the near future with 58% of tasks hours expected to be
performed by humans and the remaining 42% to be handled
exclusively by machines by 20222.
In a world of such rapid technological changes, it is paramount to
have an overview of the research being conducted in this
discipline. Such an understanding of current developments of AI
and associated technologies enables us to envision the future
workplace and its effect on human employees. These insights also
provide guidance to employees, teams, organizations, and
governments in creating a sustainable and synergistic workplace.
Finally, engaging in this research allows us to proactively
counter any negative effects that may arise from the changes in
the work settings. Through this minitrack, we hope to create a
platform where researchers working on AI in the context of future
of work can come together and create collaborations that will
allow them to capitalize on each other’s work.
The “AI and Future of Work” minitrack is especially interested in
the following topics:
1. Power shifts between humans and AI
2. AI and employees’ mental and physical wellbeing
3. Shift in social/role identities with the introduction of AI
4. Required skill set for human employees in an era of AI
5. AI and the changing face of leadership
6. Social relationships and AI at the workplace
7. Integration of AI and work practices (knowledge sharing,
decision making, etc.)
8. Ethical considerations of AI at the workplace
9. Financial and economic implications of AI implementation in the
workplace
10. The changing meaning of work or work-life balance in an era of
AI
11. AI task appropriateness
12. Designing AI for the workplace
13. AI and changes in work settings
14. Workplace Analytics and AI
15. AI and creativity in the workplace

Instructions to Authors:
The purpose of HICSS is to provide a forum for the interchange of
ideas, research results, development activities, and applications
among researchers and practitioners in computer-based systems
sciences. The conference consists of tutorials, advanced seminars,
presentations of accepted papers, open forum, tasks forces, and
plenary and distinguished guest lectures. There is a high degree
of interaction and discussion among the conference participants
because the conference is conducted in a workshop-like setting.
Instructions for submitting papers:
1. Submit an electronic copy of the full paper, 10 pages including
title page, abstract, references and diagrams using the review
system available at the HICSS site, make sure that the authors’
names and affiliation information has been removed to ensure an
anonymous review.
2. Do not submit the paper to more than one minitrack. The paper
should contain original material and not be previously published
or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.
3. Provide the required information to the review system such as
