Digital technologies—especially the rapidly evolving field of AI and agentic IS artifacts—have profoundly reshaped the landscape of IS development, implementation, and use. While these emerging technologies offer substantial benefits, ranging from enhanced user experience to transformative business solutions and increased productivity, organizations face significant hurdles in their design, development, and use, highlighting the urgent need for a generation equipped with the skills, insights, and mindset necessary to navigate these emerging IT artifacts, bridge knowledge gaps, and foster collaboration among stakeholders. This underscores the importance of adopting a human-centric approach in the design, development, adoption, and use of IS. This track invites research that enhances our understanding of how a human-centric perspective can transform the future of IS, aiming to guide the design, development, adoption, and use of various types of IS in different contexts—at the individual, group, organizational, and societal levels, as well as at the intersections across these levels. We welcome papers that draw on diverse theories, perspectives, and methodologies to address real-world challenges. Submissions that introduce innovative theoretical insights or employ a variety of research approaches—including conceptual development, as well as qualitative and quantitative methods such as field studies, laboratory experiments, simulations, and modeling—are encouraged.
