MINI-TRACK: The Dark Sides of AI

TRACK: AI and Semantic Technologies for Intelligent Information Systems




DESCRIPTION

Development and utilization of AI has been gaining increasing momentum during the last few years (Duan et al., 2019). It has become a critical component of doing business in a number of industries, such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, supply chain, logistics and utilities (Dwivedi et al., 2019). Regardless of the numerous opportunities that AI offers, there are undoubtedly plentiful dark sides of AI that present enormous risks for individuals, communities, organizations and even whole societies. Therefore, considering the ubiquitous use of AI in industry and society today, the significant negative or detrimental consequences of AI remain to be examined and are worthy of further research attention. We thus organize this mini-track and encourage the potential authors to address this important but so far largely neglected topic – the dark sides of AI. Empirical research adopting qualitative or quantitative research approaches are welcome. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following:




Ÿ   Theories, models, and classification frameworks that shed light on the dark sides of AI

Ÿ   The potential harms resulted from the widespread use of AI at different levels

o   For individuals (e.g., self-centered information cocoons)

o   For groups (e.g., group polarization)

o   For organizations (e.g., loss of jobs and unintended discrimination)

o   For societies (e.g., control the distribution of public opinions)

Ÿ   The detrimental effect benefits and the costs of using AI

Ÿ   Understanding how individuals, communities, and organizations can minimize, prevent or respond to the dark side of AI

Ÿ   Examining dark side outcomes, behaviors and practices that accidently or unintentionally emerge

Ÿ   The ethics of using AI in various occasions

Ÿ   Approaches to lobbying, regulating and controlling dark side behaviors and practices associated with AI usage

Ÿ   The trust, security and privacy issues in using AI

Ÿ   The antecedents and consequences of dark side using AI

Ÿ   Case studies of dark side of AI in the society

Ÿ   Behavioral, psychological, ethical, social and cultural issues related to the dark sides of AI
