Global, International & Cross Cultural Research in Age of Digital Revolution (SIG CCRIS)

The evolutionary development of emerging technologies—such as AI, digital platforms, automation, and data-centric innovation—is recognized as a transformative yet contentious force. Effectively harnessing these technologies presents a significant challenge due to not only their capacities but also the complex interplay between human agents and technological advancements. This track invites scholars and practitioners to explore the complex interplay between human agency, technological systems, and sociocultural contexts. We are particularly interested in research that critically examines how local values, historical conditions, and institutional arrangements influence the development and use of emerging technologies. The track aims to foster interdisciplinary and cross-regional dialogue, welcoming diverse theoretical lenses and methodological approaches. Emphasis is placed on inclusive, ethical, and sustainable frameworks for information systems development and governance.
