This track aims to develop theoretical and practical insights into issues related to social and ethical implications of information and communication technology (ICT) use, with the goal to thrive towards a sustainable and digitally-enabled future. This track thus aligns with the ECIS 2022 conference theme of “New Horizons in Digitally United Societies.”

● Societal issues of current and emerging ICTs on labour market: Unemployment, deskilling, substitution, algorithmic biases and discrimination, etc.
● Responsible use of ICTs: Ethical ICT governance, ethical guidelines for ICT application, societal concerns in ICT planning and governance, etc.
● (Un)ethical uses of ICTs and the data they generate in elections, organisations, marketing, etc.
● Digital inclusion/exclusion, equality/inequality, wellbeing, literacy
