Governing with Purpose: Toward Trustworthy, Accountable, and Inclusive AI Systems

As AI systems grow in scale and autonomy, governance has become one of the defining challenges of our time. From algorithmic accountability and regulatory compliance to transparency, fairness, and human oversight, the questions surrounding AI governance are urgent, complex, and consequential. As AI systems grow in scale and autonomy, governance has become one of the defining challenges of our time. From algorithmic accountability and regulatory compliance to transparency, fairness, and human oversight, the questions surrounding AI governance are urgent, complex, and consequential. We seek research that goes beyond technical performance to examine how institutions, norms, and information systems can shape AI that is safe, equitable, and aligned with public values. Together, we advance a scholarship that ensures AI is not only powerful, but governable. [read more]

Session Formats

Presentation Session

Session for polished manuscripts targeting leading journals in Information Systems. Each paper will receive generous time for presentation and discussion, creating space for serious scholarly exchange. Feedback targets theoretical contribution, framing choices, and anticipated reviewer reactions.

Best suited for: Authors who want deep, candid feedback from senior scholars at a critical stage of revision.

Research Incubator Session

A small-group, developmental session in an Interactive Forum format. Authors briefly present their core idea and identify bottlenecks. Senior scholars serve as strategic advisors focused on unblocking research—clarifying next steps, sharpening theoretical lenses, and strengthening project trajectories.

Best suited for: Projects with compelling phenomena or early insights facing walls in theory building, framing, or design.
