The 20th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society
I3E2021
Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive
Digitised Society
1st – 3rd September 2021
NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland

AI, analytics, and ICT in general, create opportunities and
unintended or negative consequences for individuals and society
(cf. Ransbotham et al., 2016; Majchrzak et al., 2016). These
opportunities and consequences have not been evenly distributed.
Despite the many personal, economic, and societal benefits offered
by AI and analytics, its use raises a variety of ethical concerns.
Ethics permeates the entire analytics process, from what data to
use, to how to represent the extracted knowledge and exploit the
insights to create economic and social value. Ethical concerns
(i.e. illegitimate surveillance, invasion of privacy,
unemployment, malicious use etc.) are frequently used to portray
AI and analytics as ‘a danger to humanity’. These concerns warrant
the attention of the academic community who are in a privileged
position within society to raise awareness about the responsible
design, implementation and use of AI, analytics, and ICT.
At the same time, AI and analytics has opened new domains of
exclusion and privilege for some, leaving some individuals and
communities excluded from the digitised society. For example,
digital exclusion is part of the overall challenge of exclusion, a
growing phenomenon which carries with it a series of
deteriorations in life paths (i.e. poor lifelong earnings and an
increased risk of marginalisation). There are many who are
currently excluded for reasons of low income and education,
location, culture, trust and confidence levels or various
disabilities (European Commission).
Success in the increasingly digitised society requires a
comprehensive approach to fostering an ethical and inclusive
society. The 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and
e-Society aims to bring together contributions from a variety of
perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of
knowledge regarding Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical
and Inclusive Digitised Society.
To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research
students to submit and present their papers and findings to the
20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to
be held in September 2021 at NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland.
Theoretical and empirical papers employing quantitative,
qualitative, and/or critical methods are welcomed.
