The Impact ofArtificial Intelligence on Business and Society

Oct 24-25, 2019

Today, Artificial Intelligence is shapinghuman activity in organizations and in society.

But, what do we know about their design, their usage,and their impact?

This conferenceis concerned with these Information Systems, shedding light on how they are,and how they will be understood, adopted, implemented, adapted, and usedwithin organizations and more generally, within the society as awhole.

The main focuswill be on how actors understand the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI)to support organizational activities and hence how they adopt and adapt thesetechnologies to achieve their goals.

We are interestedin different areas of the organization's strategy through new business models,competitive strategies, knowledge management, etc. Specific areas are concernedsuch as marketing, human resource management, project management, operationmanagement, innovation management, etc.

These questions can beaddressed both in private and public sector either national or internationale.g. though development policies, in industry and services. We are alsointerested in how AI impacts society through sustainable development and socialresponsibility.

We invitesubmissions in all areas of IS and organizations especially innovative,interesting and rigorously developed conceptual and empirical contributions. Wealso encourage multi- or inter-disciplinary research.
