[AISWorld] AMCIS 2024 CFP- Mini Track: Artificial Intelligence for Sustainability

[Vijaya Lakshmi]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your research work to our mini track: Artificial Intelligence for Sustainability



This minitrack aims to contribute to the growing body of IS research related to AI and sustainability by adopting a socio-technical-ecological perspective to explore how applications of AI can be designed, deployed, and used to support the goals of environmental sustainability and mitigate adverse effects while adapting to new planetary and climate conditions. The minitrack welcomes conceptual, empirical (qualitative and quantitative), and design research contributions. It encourages research that adopts new perspectives and theories to investigate the design, implementation and impacts of AI applications in private (enterprises) and public (governmental) organizations’ sustainability initiatives.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Use of AI for sustainability to transform high-polluting industries

  *   Implications of Industry 4.0 on environmental sustainability

  *   Applications of AI for sustainability in different sectors, such as energy, transportation, agriculture and wildlife, information technology, smart cities, industrial productions, waste management, consumer goods, and others

  *   Design and use of AI to improve the organization’s environmental footprint

  *   Theories integrating AI with payoffs for sustainability

  *   Factors affecting the success and failure of AI applications for sustainability

  *   AI tools for measuring dimensions of environmental sustainability, including environment-related Sustainable Development Goals

  *   Development of sustainable products and services using AI

  *   Use of AI to encourage environmentally responsible behaviors by individuals

  *   Application of responsible innovation processes to the design and development of AI applications

  *   Conceptual models relating to the relationships between AI applications and environmental sustainability

  *   AI governance and public policy considerations related to AI with implications for sustainability

  *   Threats and risks associated with the use of AI to address sustainability concerns, such as algorithmic bias, explainability, transparency and the digital divide

  *   Ethical and social issues associated with the use of AI for environmental sustainability

  *   Sustainable design and use of AI and human-centred AI for environmental sustainability



*** IMPORTANT DATES ***

* January 5, 2024: Manuscript submissions begin

* March 1, 2024: Submissions are due at 10 a.m. EST
