The Responsibility and Ethics Track at ICIS 2026 extends the tradition of ethics, responsibility, and social impact research within the ICIS community. The track provides a dedicated forum for examining information systems as ethical, moral, and social phenomenon with significant implications for organisations, institutions, and society more broadly. These phenomena are transformational yet, as part of a digital undertow, often go unnoticed. For example, algorithmic decision-making, data-intensive agentic work, and ‘intelligent’ systems challenge traditional notions of responsibility and produce new ethical dilemmas which are only now becoming visible (e.g. algorithmic pollution, ‘AI slop’, new forms of identity theft).

Track Chairs;
Marie Griffiths, Salford Business School, UK
Dirk S. Hovorka, University of Sydney, Australia
Nachiketa Sahoo, Boston University
