Research on the adoption and diffusion of information technology has improved our understanding of how IT is utilized by individuals, groups, and organizations and its positive and negative consequences. As a result, we have a rich understanding of relevant topics such as digital innovation, digital business models, and IT implementation, to name a few. With the accelerating pace of digital transformation, penetrating organizations and societies, and the fundamental role of information systems in it, as witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is still much to learn about the diffusion and adoption of IT. We need to investigate the potential of new digital innovations for individuals and organizations and how we can ensure equitable access to these technologies, particularly AI and intelligent technologies. At the same time, we must examine the dark sides of the adoption and diffusion of digital technologies. Issues such as IS misuse, addiction, propagation of online false information, algorithmic biases, the demise of human agency by intelligent systems, technostress, information overload, and new digital divides present relevant and ripe areas to investigate. SIG-ADIT (Adoption and Diffusion of IT) track seeks to create a forum for high-quality research that can provide valuable theoretical and/or practical insights into the adoption and diffusion of digital innovations at all levels and their bright and dark consequences. This includes applying all types of research methodologies to study all kinds of digital artifacts.

Track Chairs:
- Isaac Vaghefi, Baruch College, City University of New York
- Hamed Qahri-Saremi, Colorado State University
- Jennifer Claggett, Wake Forest University
