Minitrack: Economic and Societal Impacts of Technology, Data, and Algorithms
Track: Internet and the Digital Economy
Fast-track submission opportunity (at the discretion of minitrack chair) in Information Technology and Management journal
Minitrack description:
Advancements in Internet technologies and algorithms are quickly driving the next wave of innovations. Over the past few years, generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) tools and machine learning (ML) techniques have achieved breakthrough performances in a wide range of activities. As such algorithms are being deployed across various economic activities, it is important to understand their business and societal impacts. What happens to jobs, skills, wages, and labor market when businesses adopt algorithmic systems to perform a given task traditionally done by humans? What are the implications to process design and business models when ML and AI algorithms help make personalized recommendations? What challenges and risks do AI systems bring to decision making, society, and humankind?
This minitrack invites submissions of original work concerning business value, implications, and impacts associated with the development and applications of AI and ML technologies and algorithms. While work using ML algorithms are highly encouraged, they must have an important component investigating the impacts and implications of such algorithms. We also welcome submissions of research-in-progress as well as those that are practically oriented yet have the potential to make significant contributions to the broad business community.
The relevant topics for the minitrack include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- User behavior/response/reaction to algorithm fairness, bias, aversion
- Economic and societal impacts/implications of AI and ML algorithms
- Digital platform/market design and algorithms
- Algorithms economy such as buying, selling algorithms
- Economics of AI business models
- Human-algorithm interaction
- Algorithm management and organization strategy
- Explainability, interpretability, and accountability of AI and ML
- Theory-guided AI and ML algorithm development and evaluation
- AL and ML applications in fintech, operations, cybersecurity, healthcare, accounting
Note: each coauthor of a paper submitted to our mini-track is obligated to review at least one other paper for the mini-track. Failure of any one coauthor to review for the mini-track may result in the rejection of the coauthor's paper from the mini-track.
