1. Minitrack theme
The Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants and Platforms minitrack, aims to deepen, and broaden our understanding of AI-based technologies in the digital economy. Since 2021, this HICSS minitrack seeks to advance academic discourse by focusing on specific, cutting-edge topics. Compared to other minitracks on AI development, the AI-based assistants and platforms minitrack explicitly focuses on assistants from an interdisciplinary perspective. This not only comprises technological aspects, but also their holistic impact from socio-technical implications to the potential in reshaping industries and in enhancing digital business models. We encourage submissions that blend theory with practice, offering insights into real-world applications and societal impacts of these technologies. We are particularly invite submissions that delve into specific challenges of AI-assistants, such as algorithmic bias, transparency, explanations, user privacy, and their sustainable integration in healthcare, education, and other sectors.
2. Minitrack topics
The AI-based assistants and platforms minitrack seeks contributions around the following topics, but also invites research on related topics:
- Business models and business innovation based on AI-based assistants and platforms
- Analyses of AI-based platform ecosystems (structure, ecosystem intelligence)
- Impact of AI-based assistants and platforms on economic, ecological and social aspects
- Evolution and emergence in AI-based assistant ecosystems (mechanisms, path dependencies)
- Role of advanced technologies (agents, metaverse, LLM, quantum) for AI-based assistants
- Design, implementation, and management of AI-based assistants (methods, architectures)
- Human centricity, transparency and user-orientation in AI-based assistants and platforms
- Regulation of AI-based assistants and platforms (ethics, bias mitigation, governance)
- Integration of assistants and platforms (multi-platforms and platform federation)
- Security and trust in AI-based assistants and platforms (risks, privacy, and trust issues)
- Implications of AI-based assistants on productivity and the future workplace and human-AI interaction
- Application of AI-based assistant platforms in various industries (e-health, education, engineering, finance, administration)
The AI-based assistants and platforms minitrack is methodologically open and welcomes empirical and theoretical research as well as practical and design-oriented research. Selected papers will be invited for a fast-track in Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business (www.electronicmarkets.org).<u1:p></u1:p>
