As organizations become more reliant on AI methods, they need new organizational and management theories, frameworks, and methodologies that can help them understand the consequences of using these AI tools—both at the level of structures and organizational activities. Since such agents often rely on complex internal processing, their behavior is less predictable than that of the types of IT artifacts we are used to dealing with. This opens up a number of problem areas with regards to managing and organizing these methods. For example:

- How does coordination shift as AI tools are used, and what new types of organizational hierarchies and structures emerge? - How do power relations change, and how do different organizational actors use these new technologies to reshape power relations? - What is the impact of using AI on those processes that have traditionally been seen as being entirely driven and controlled by humans? - How can the organization evaluate the ethical implications of deployed AI methods? - What are relevant KPIs and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of AI applications? - How should an organization manage, staff and coordinate AI development teams?

This minitrack aims to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms through which humans organize together with software-based agents as well as the process organizations use to develop these AI methods.

We aim to provide a platform for thought and discussion in this important and emergent niche within information systems and IT research. We invite both conceptual and empirical contributions using different methodological approaches (qualitative, quantitative, design-oriented, simulation, etc.).

In addition to the questions raised above, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- AI & coordination: How does AI change the way humans coordinate? - AI & power: How does AI affect corporations, markets, and peer production structures? - AI & governance: Who runs the technology? What does the technology run? - AI & development: How to manage project and deployment risk? - AI & creativity: How can AI be creative? How can humans and AI be co-creators? - AI & design: What does AI design? Should it design itself? - AI & innovation: How does AI foster innovation? - AI & crowds: What do crowds do for machine learning, and what’s in it for the crowds? - AI & organizational routines: How does AI change the nature of work?
