Dear colleagues,

Call for Papers

Special Issue on "The Perils and Promises of AI in Management: Maintaining Security and Ensuring Sustainability" @ Sustainability

Cybersecurity has become more critical than ever for organizations and corporate sustainability as the world undergoes digital transformation. As organizations make greater use of emergent digital-based technologies, they become more susceptible to a growing number of risks. As the number and variations of cyber-attacks increase, their impacts pose significant damage to organizations and sustainability. Cyber-attacks can be in various forms and magnitudes of severity. Organizations may suffer considerable losses as production and operations come to a standstill after a cyber-attack. Organizations may be forced to pay huge amounts to attackers after a ransomware attack. Alternatively, leaks of personal customer or employee data may lead to a loss of prestige and reputation. Organizations may also have to pay hefty fines to the data protection authority in their country due to data leakage. On the other hand, in this digitally-transforming world, adapting more recent technologies has also brought advantages to an organization, such as improvement in business processes, product and service development, customer relationships, performance, globalization and competitive advantage. Under this transformation, the use of cloud computing, big data, Blockchain and other emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, have presented cybersecurity as an increasingly important and multidimensional aspect of organizational life and survival, along with sustainability.

Based on this premise, the Special Issue aims to collect high-quality papers addressing the relationship between cyber security and sustainability with current and emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. The topic can be discussed from the perspective of either the technical dimension in terms of analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning; or in business in terms of developing necessary strategies; or social dimensions such as human and organizational factors; or combinations of these perspectives.

This track welcomes research using qualitative, quantitative and design science research methodologies. Conceptual papers, models, policies and case studies contributing to understanding the relationship between sustainability, cybersecurity and recent and emerging technologies are also within the scope of this Special Issue.

Potential topics can include the following areas, but are not limited to:

· Relationship between sustainability and cybersecurity

· Impact and role of current and emerging technologies on sustainability and cybersecurity

· Use of advanced techniques of cybersecurity for corporate sustainability

· Understanding the benefits, drawbacks and limitations of using advanced techniques in cybersecurity and sustainability

· Role of AI and emerging technologies in cybersecurity

· Role of AI and emerging technologies in sustainability

· Individual or organizational factors affecting the sustainability, cybersecurity and/or the relationship between the two
