of ICTs, including AI upon  Society
EN-US">This mini-track aims is to offer a global perspective of how 
Informationand Communication Technologies (ICTs) including Artificial 
Intelligence (AI) arebeing diffused, used and adopted within society 
including households, smallenterprises, government and social 
communities. ICTs are wide ranging from broadband internetto mobile 
devices, online social networks, sharing platforms, 
Internet-of-Things(IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data 
Analytics, cryptocurrency, blockchain,cloud services, and other 
platforms enabled by the internet.mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> ICT 
adoption, usage and diffusion studies areprevalent in Information 
Systems (IS) research and offer an insight into manyissues surrounding 
‘how’, ‘when’ and ‘what’ technologies are being introducedand their 
impacts. By undertaking such research academics, industry andgovernment 
agencies will learn from each other how ICTs are being used byvarious 
groups and communities in society and what measures are beingundertaken 
to have households and the various social communities adopt and usethe 
ICTs with a further consideration of the impacts of the ICTs. Case 
studies,experiments, literature reviews, empirical, comparative and 
applied studies relatedto ICT use, adoption, impacts and diffusion are 
emerging on a daily basis.
