Dear All,

We hope you are safe in these challenging times! We are launching a special issue of the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST: https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/23301643) on the relationship between artificial intelligence and work that might be interesting for many of you.

For more information and the full call for papers please visit: https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/aiatwork/jasist

The special issue has an associated workshop on December 11 and you find more information about the workshop here: https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/aiatwork/workshop

Articles for the special issue and workshop can be drawn from any industry (e.g., retail, IT, service industries, public administration) or across multiple industries as long as they foreground the use and implications of AI in work or organizational contexts. The topics of the special issue and associated workshop include, but are not limited to, empirical research and/or theory development in the areas of:

1. The transformation of work practices and service provision in a number of domains
   • Human-AI interactions in work settings
   • AI and augmenting worker intelligence
   • AI and implications for information practices
2. The multiple scales at which such transformations take place, including individual-, team/group-, organization-, and profession/occupation-level transformation
   • Algorithmic management and decision-making
   • Intelligent machines and interpersonal relationships at work
   • AI and mass surveillance in organizations
3. The ethical implications of technology-enabled transformations such as job loss, the changing demands of professional readiness in the age of intelligent machines and their implications for educational curricula
   • AI, automation, new jobs and education
   • Digital labor, inequality and power

Special issue submission deadline: 30 March 2021.
(Optional) online paper development workshop extended abstract deadline: 20 November 2020.
