Track Description

Workplaces and the way of working are undergoing a process of change, leading to a digital work environment characterized. In this context, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking a serious role for different contexts, such as automatization, data analysis, and predictions. To get insights from data, different AI techniques and tools can be applied. These insights can be utilized to further enhance and drive the digitalization of work. At this point we have not fully understood the impact of AI on digital work i.e., which chances and risks we can expect. The impact can be, however, observed on organizational level, technological level and behavioral level.

Questions, which arise are: How do we manage AI in organizations? What are the technological requirements for implementing AI in organizations? How does AI change the way of working? How can we avoid a resistance to change by employees? How do we design AI transparent and ethical? How can AI enable digital upskilling and learning in organizations? Overall, this track raises the question how digitalization changes the work environment and the way of working in the digital era. In this track, we welcome conceptual, empirical and design-oriented papers that analyze, explain or predict implications of AI on the future of work in organizations, or that design AI-based solutions in the context of digital work.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

AI-enabled transformation of work processes and routines
Interaction, collaboration, and communication in a digital work environment enabled by AI
Implications of AI on Gender and Diversity at a digital workplace
Resistance to Change driven by AI
Ethics and legal aspects in digital work
Responsible AI at the digital workplace
Digital upskilling of the workforce enabled by AI
AI-enabled change and learning processes in organizations
New ways of working driven by AI
AI enabled Digital Detox
Human-AI teams in digital work
