HICSS-56 Call for papers for the
mini-track on: "AI and the Future of Work"
Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track
Hawai'i International Conference on
Systems Sciences (HICSS)
January 3-6, 2023
Deadline for submissions: June 15, 2022
Track description:
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
