Ethical & Responsible Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Societies

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of humanity. It is already the key driver of emerging technologies and will continue to be the technological innovator in the envisioned future. Industry experts anticipate AI advances to produce dramatic changes in the service industry by 2025; while others expect AI to overtake humans in the near future (PEW, 2014; Cuthbertson, 2020). Research on AI is prevailing all fields (Merhi & Harfouche, 2023) and is dominating science, agriculture, healthcare, military, financial and many other domains worldwide (Gartner Inc., 2021; Tutun et al., 2023). Thus, AI has high potentials to benefit humanity and help resolving many of the world’s challenges from poverty to environmental sustainability.

Today, there is increasing awareness and expectation that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help address these grand challenges that include societal inequalities and environmental sustainability in developing and developed countries (Dennehy et al., 2021; Dwivedi et al., 2022; Harfouche et al., 2022; Tarhini et al., 2022). These grand challenges can be categorized as (i) socio- technical, (ii) infrastructural, (iii) societal ecological, (iv) legal and ethical, and (v) emotional (Becker et al., 2015). Achieving the benefits of AI in addressing these challenges motivated researchers worldwide. However, these benefits can only be achieved if AI is used wisely, in a sustainable, ethical, and responsible way through the development of ethics and governance principles to guide the development and deployment of ethical and responsible AI. Yet, there is a concern that the response from the Information Systems (IS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) research communities has been ‘dismal and at best marginal’ in this regard (Tan & Neilson, 2021). In fact, the potential value from artificial intelligence is expected to be enormous. But the question remains: what are the costs of AI when not done responsibly?

Sustainable, reliable, effective, and human-centered AI systems requires responsible AI principles and perspectives not only from technological but also ethical, legal, socio-economic, and socio-political domains. Responsible AI is the practice of developing and deploying AI systems with good intentions in a responsible manner, helping to empower employees, business, and society. Ethics and governance of AI could be influenced by different cultural context. However, these cultural differences provide a diversity of perspectives, and opportunities to learn from one another. Sharing insights, expertise and different perspectives on ethical and responsible AI for sustainable development is and will continue to be an important concern for the ICTO community.

The 7th conference for Information & communication technologies for organization & society (ICTO2023) aims to bring together multidisciplinary contributions from different domains and cultures around IS and AI to advance knowledge to achieve a better and more sustainable future for organizations & societies. This year, ICTO2023 aims at finding answers to question like: What do we want the future of work to look like? How do we want AI to change our lives? What does it really mean to be doing AI “responsibly”? Can we do Responsible AI without worrying about the social consequences? How the principles of responsible AI could be applied more broadly toward achieving sustainable development goals?

We invite scholars, practitioners, and early career researchers to present their research at ICTO2023 to contribute to the Ethical and Responsible AI research that leads to better and sustainable societies. Theoretical and empirical papers employing quantitative, qualitative, and/or design science are welcomed.
