[AISWorld] AI for Sustainability CFP AMCIS 2022

[Jacqueline Corbett]

We are inviting inviting papers for the SIGGreen minitrack on AI for Sustainability at AMCIS. Submissions are due on March 1, 2022.

A brief description of the track follows:

Environmental sustainability, widely recognized as a wicked problem, has become a global priority. The challenge of sustainability is multi-dimensional, involves multiple natural and human systems engaged in complex interactions, and requires trade-offs between conflicting values of multiple stakeholders. Slowing the pace of climate change, mitigating adverse impacts, and adapting to new planetary conditions will depend on robust artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. Machine-based intelligence can help organizations tackle the complex issues of sustainability by transcending the limitations of conventional computing and human intelligence and opening up new possibilities for innovation. This minitrack adopts a socio-technical-ecological perspective to explore how AI can be used to support environmental sustainability and respond to the challenges of climate change. Research of all types is invited, from conceptual work that develops theories around AI to empirical investigations of the interplay between AI and sustainability-related phenomenon and design work that develops new solutions and approaches.
