[AISWorld] [Deadline Extended to 13-October, Scholarships Available] CFP: DIGIT 2023 Pre-ICIS Workshop (SIGADIT)

[Saeed Akhlaghpour]

Hello Colleagues,
Please note the new deadline and student scholarships.

*[Deadline Extended] Call for Papers - Submission deadline (extended):
Friday, October 13, 2023 (11:59 pm EDT)*

*DIGIT** 2023 Pre-ICIS Workshop (Hyderabad, India) - AIS Special Interest
Group on the Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)*

Innovation Amplified: Unleashing the Potential of AI and Emerging
Technologies through Effective Adoption and Diffusion

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and a plethora of
emerging technologies, such as blockchain, virtual and augmented reality
(VR/AR), quantum computing, 5G networks, autonomous systems, and
biotechnology, has ushered in a new era of innovation and transformative
possibilities. These technologies are revolutionizing various sectors and
industries, including healthcare, finance, transportation, manufacturing,
agriculture, and education. Understanding the critical aspects of the
adoption and diffusion of these emerging technologies is crucial to fully
harnessing their potential and driving positive change in our digital
revolution.

In the face of significant challenges presented by the climate crisis,
armed conflicts, cybersecurity threats, the spread of misinformation, and
the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we find ourselves at a pivotal
moment to rise like a phoenix, emerging from adversity and reshaping human
endeavors with the transformative power of digital technologies. The rapid
advancement of AI and a diverse array of emerging technologies has opened
up unprecedented opportunities for innovation and positive change. We
witnessed the global adoption and use of generative AI, especially after
the release of ChatGPT in late 2022. Arguably, these digital technologies
have the potential to impact human life on a large scale and revolutionize
industries and sectors across the globe.

With the increasing integration of AI and digital technologies into the
lives and routines of individuals, organizations, and societies, there is a
growing need for scientific investigation and theoretical alignment in the
research on IT adoption and diffusion and its impacts. The DIGIT 2023
workshop provides a valuable opportunity for researchers to come together,
fostering vibrant discussions and the exchange of ideas regarding the
effective harnessing of digital technologies. In addition to papers focused
on this year's conference theme, i.e., "Innovation Amplified: Unleashing
the Potential of AI and Emerging Technologies through Effective Adoption
and Diffusion," we also welcome research contributions that explore other
aspects of IT adoption and diffusion. Let us collectively deepen our
understanding of how digital technologies can be harnessed to drive
transformative innovation.

Potential topic areas include, but are not exclusive to:
Adoption, diffusion, and use of AI and emerging technologies.
Navigating ethical considerations in the adoption and diffusion of AI
technologies.
Exploring the responsible and ethical use of generative AI within creative
industries, media, and content generation.
Understanding the impact of digital transformation on individuals and
organizations.
Digital ecosystems and their effects on adoption, diffusion, and
abandonment of digital solutions.
Diffusion of new digital solutions in support of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Adoption and diffusion of digital solutions for achieving digital
resilience.
Digital transformation across industries such as healthcare, education,
finance, and the public sector.
Individual and collective technology use behaviors, such as adaptation,
coping, improvisation, and effective use in the presence of major crises
and disruptions.
Multi-level studies considering the rippling effects of disruptions and
their implications for IS adoption and diffusion.
Security, privacy, and risk management in the adoption and use of AI and
emerging technologies.
New qualitative, quantitative, and design-led methodological approaches to
examine the dynamics of IT adoption and diffusion.

Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or
empirical in nature. The workshop will include paper presentations, paper
roundtables, and expert panel discussions.



***Instructions for Contributors***

In the interest of discussing the most current research in this area, we
welcome:

Completed research papers (16 single-spaced pages)
Research-in-progress papers (8 single-spaced pages)

All submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers should not have been
published previously in other proceedings or journals, nor be under review
elsewhere. However, it is the general objective of the workshop that the
papers will be submitted to a premier outlet after the DIGIT workshop.

Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the AIS Electronic
Library. The authors can choose whether they want the full paper or only an
extended abstract to be published. Proceedings of previous DIGIT workshops
can be found at: http://aisel.aisnet.org/digit/

until the deadline.

Papers, both complete research (16 pages) and research-in-progress (8
pages) submissions, must be single-spaced, include an abstract, and
submitted in Microsoft Word format. These page limits are all-inclusive;
they include the title, body of the paper, figures, tables, references, and
all appendices. A separate title page should include the paper title and
the authors' names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses. The main body of
the paper should have the title, but no author identification. All papers
must conform to the instructions given in the DIGIT 2023 submission
template, which can be found attached and online at:
