Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)

Mini track: Adoption and Diffusion of Ambivalent Information Technologies

Description of the Mini track:

Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are technologies that have the potential to both benefit and harm individuals, organizations, or society. Ambivalent IT includes a wide range of IT, such as smartphones, emails, social media technologies, wearables devices, big data technologies and artificial intelligence that despite providing significant benefits can overload individuals, undermine their sense of autonomy, cause security, privacy intrusion, or discrimination issues among others. In this way, ambivalent IT can elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different behaviors and outcomes for adopters and users. Accordingly, this mini track call for further research on the antecedents, processes/mechanisms, outcomes, and issues/challenges related to adoption and use of ambivalent IT and the potential impacts on various stakeholders (e.g. users, organizations, or society). It also invites research that provides suggestions to avoid or remedy the dark side and promote the bright side of ambivalent IT use.
