Abstract

With this response, we challenge Information Systems researchers for more extensive and radical re-imagination of our research on workplace datafication—we urge moving towards research that aims at competence development with critical and ethical foci and at empowering participants and collectives to act as powerful change makers regarding and by using intelligent, data-driven technologies. We offer some insights into our projects with children in the context of their basic education for inspiration in this quest.
