Track: *Artificial Intelligence in IS Research and Practice*
*Track Description*
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term with an evolving
meaning over the last century. AI refers to a vast amount of
techniques, tools and technological artefacts. The AI artefacts
and techniques range from machine learning, convolution networks,
image and speech recognition, to 3D printing and an expanding
number of innovative approaches. AI, as a contextual approach with
a substantial role, has managed to find its place in a number of
areas, ranging from household applications, to healthcare, to
warfare, but also in production and the supply chain world.
In this track we would like to focus in the use of AI in IS
research and specifically draw our attention on the evolving
concepts, practices, processes and methods related to AI-related
technology management in various fields. We consider it is timely
to investigate into the potential of AI within the IS community,
with the view to shed more light in the management of practices
and processes. At the same time, it is crucial to reflect on the
challenges and the implications stemming out of AI applications.
Within a digitally connected world, whereby advanced technologies,
such as AI, Information Systems scholars should consider the
implications for industry, for society, for individuals and for
sustainability.
In this track, we welcome both empirical and conceptual papers,
without excluding any methodological stance (qualitative,
quantitative, mixed methods etc).
