The authors argue that the application of relevant AI technology could help address this challenge. Employing interactively prompted narrative storytelling, and the authors investigate the effectiveness of sentiment analysis (SA) on extracting valuable CE insights from primary qualitative data generated via chatbot interviews. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on a granular and semantically clear framework for studying CE feelings, an artificial intelligence (AI) augmented chatbot was designed. The chatbot interviewed a crowdsourced sample of consumers about their recalled service experience feelings. By combining free-text and closed-ended questions, the authors were able to compare extracted sentiment polarities against established measurement scales and empirically validate our novel approach. Findings: The authors demonstrate that SA can effectively extract CE feelings from primary chatbot data. This findings also suggest that further enhancement in accuracy can be achieved via improvements in the interplay between the chatbot interviewer and SA extraction algorithms. Research limitations/implications: The proposed customer-centric approach can help service companies to study and better understand CE feelings in a cost-effective and scalable manner. The AI-augmented chatbots can also help companies to foster immersive and engaging relationships with customers. This study focuses on feelings, warranting further research on AI's value in studying other CE elements. Originality/value: The unique inquisitive role of AI-infused chatbots in conducting interviews and analyzing data in realtime, offers considerable potential for studying CE and other subjective constructs. %B Journal of Service Management %G eng %R 10.1108/JOSM-11-2019-0341 %0 Journal Article %J Telecommunications Policy %D 2020 %T AI governance in the public sector: Three tales from the frontiers of automated decision-making in democratic settings %A Kuziemski, Maciej %A Misuraca, Gianluca %K Algorithmic accountability %K artificial intelligence %K Automated decision making %K Public sector innovation %X The rush to understand new socio-economic contexts created by the wide adoption of AI is justified by its far-ranging consequences, spanning almost every walk of life. Yet, the public sector's predicament is a tragic double bind: its obligations to protect citizens from potential algorithmic harms are at odds with the temptation to increase its own efficiency - or in other words - to govern algorithms, while governing by algorithms. Whether such dual role is even possible, has been a matter of debate, the challenge stemming from algorithms' intrinsic properties, that make them distinct from other digital solutions, long embraced by the governments, create externalities that rule-based programming lacks. As the pressures to deploy automated decision making systems in the public sector become prevalent, this paper aims to examine how the use of AI in the public sector in relation to existing data governance regimes and national regulatory practices can be intensifying existing power asymmetries. To this end, investigating the legal and policy instruments associated with the use of AI for strenghtening the immigration process control system in Canada; “optimising” the employment services” in Poland, and personalising the digital service experience in Finland, the paper advocates for the need of a common framework to evaluate the potential impact of the use of AI in the public sector. In this regard, it discusses the specific effects of automated decision support systems on public services and the growing expectations for governments to play a more prevalent role in the digital society and to ensure that the potential of technology is harnessed, while negative effects are controlled and possibly avoided. This is of particular importance in light of the current COVID-19 emergency crisis where AI and the underpinning regulatory framework of data ecosystems, have become crucial policy issues as more and more innovations are based on large scale data collections from digital devices, and the real-time accessibility of information and services, contact and relationships between institutions and citizens could strengthen – or undermine - trust in governance systems and democracy. %B Telecommunications Policy %I Elsevier Ltd %V 44 %P 101976 %G eng %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.telpol.2020.101976 %R 10.1016/j.telpol.2020.101976 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Data, Information and Management %D 2020 %T AI in operations management: applications, challenges and opportunities %A Dogru, Ali K %A Keskin, Burcu B %K AI %K artificial intelligence %K Artificial Intelligence (AI) %K automation %K machine learning %K machine learning (ML) %K ml %K om %K operations management %K Operations Management (OM) %K Robotics %K scm %K supply chain management %K Supply Chain Management (SCM) %X We have witnessed unparalleled progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications in the last two decades. The AI technologies have accelerated advancements in robotics and automation, which have significant implications on almost every aspect of businesses, and especially supply chain operations. Supply chains have widely adopted smart technologies that enable real-time automated data collection, analysis, and prediction. In this study, we review recent applications of AI in operations management (OM) and supply chain management (SCM). Specifically, we consider the innovations in healthcare, manufacturing, and retail operations, since collectively, these three areas represent a majority of the AI innovations in business as well as growing problem areas. We discuss primary challenges and opportunities for utilizing AI in those industries. We also discuss trending research topics with significant value potential in these areas. %B Journal of Data, Information and Management %I Journal of Data, Information and Management %V 2 %P 67–74 %G eng %R 10.1007/s42488-020-00023-1 %0 Journal Article %J Business Horizons %D 2020 %T AI-enabled recruiting: What is it and how should a manager use it? %A Black, J Stewart %A van Esch, Patrick %K AI-enabled recruiting %K artificial intelligence %K Digital recruiting technology %K Human resources %X AI-enabled recruiting systems have evolved from nice to talk about to necessary to utilize. In this article, we outline the reasons underlying this development. First, as competitive advantages have shifted from tangible to intangible assets, human capital has transitioned from supporting cast to a starring role. Second, as digitalization has redesigned both the business and social landscapes, digital recruiting of human capital has moved from the periphery to center stage. Third, recent and near-future advances in AI-enabled recruiting have improved recruiting efficiency to the point that managers ignore them or procrastinate their utilization at their own peril.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how hospitality and tourism organizations can use electronic human resource management (eHRM) and artificial intelligence (AI) to help recruit and select qualified employees, increase individual retention rates and decrease the time needed to replace employees. Specifically, it discusses how e-recruiting and e-selection and AI tools can help hospitality and tourism organizations improve recruiting and selection outcomes. Design/methodology/approach: Research on eHRM, AI, employee recruitment and employee selection are applied to the hospitality and tourism industry and insights for how eHRM and AI can be applied to the industry are discussed. Findings: eHRM and AI have the potential to transform how the hospitality and tourism industry recruit and select employees. However, care must be taken to ensure that the insights gained and the decisions made are well received by employees and lead to better employee and organizational outcomes.

The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence %A Kassens-Noor, Eva %A Hintze, Arend %K artificial intelligence %K autonomous vehicle %K future %K smart cities %K work %X Artificial intelligence (AI), like many revolutionary technologies in human history, will have a profound impact on societies. From this viewpoint, we analyze the combined effects of AI to raise important questions about the future form and function of cities. Combining knowledge from computer science, urban planning, and economics while reflecting on academic and business perspectives, we propose that the future of cities is far from being a determined one and cities may evolve into ghost towns if the deployment of AI is not carefully controlled. This viewpoint presents a fundamentally different argument, because it expresses a real concern over the future of cities in contrast to the many publications who exclusively assume city populations will increase predicated on the neoliberal urban growth paradigm that has for centuries attracted humans to cities in search of work. %B AI %V 1 %P 192–197 %G eng %R 10.3390/ai1020012 %0 Journal Article %J AEA Papers and Proceedings %D 2020 %T Competing with Robots: Firm-Level Evidence from France %A Acemoglu, Daron %A Lelarge, Claire %A Restrepo, Pascual %K automation %K competition %K j23 %K j24 %K jel codes %K l11 %K labor share %K manufacturing %K productivity %K reallocation %K robots %K tasks %X We study the firm-level implications of robot adoption in France. Of 55,390 firms in our sample, 598 adopted robots between 2010 and 2015, but these firms accounted for 20 percent of manufacturing employment. Adopters experienced significant declines in labor shares, the share of production workers in employment, and increases in value added and productivity. They expand their overall employment as well. However, this expansion comes at the expense of competitors, leading to an overall negative association between adoption and employment. Robot adoption has a large impact on the labor share because adopters are larger and grow faster than their competitors. %B AEA Papers and Proceedings %V 110 %P 383–388 %G eng %R 10.1257/pandp.20201003 %0 Journal Article %J ERA Forum %D 2020 %T Criminal justice, artificial intelligence systems, and human rights %A Završnik, Aleš %K Algorithms %K artificial intelligence %K automation %K Criminal justice %K Fair trial %K Human rights %X The automation brought about by big data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence systems challenges us to reconsider fundamental questions of criminal justice.

We perform a mapping between labour and AI using a set of cognitive abilities as an intermediate layer. This setting favours a two-way interpretation to analyse (1) what impact current or simulated AI research activity has or would have on labour-related tasks and occupations, and (2) what areas of AI research activity would be responsible for a desired or undesired effect on specific labour tasks and occupations. Concretely, in our analysis we map 59 generic labour-related tasks from several worker surveys and databases to 14 cognitive abilities from the cognitive science literature, and these to a comprehensive list of 328 AI benchmarks used to evaluate progress in AI techniques. We provide this model and its implementation as a tool for simulations. We also show the effectiveness of our setting with some illustrative examples. %B AIES 2020 - Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society %P 94–100 %@ 9781450371100 %G eng %R 10.1145/3375627.3375831 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Service Research %D 2020 %T Engaged to a Robot?

This framework lays out guidelines of how to use different AIs to engage customers based on considerations of nature of service task, service offering, service strategy, and service process. AI develops from mechanical, to thinking, and to feeling. As AI advances to a higher intelligence level, more human service employees and human intelligence (HI) at the intelligence levels lower than that level should be used less. Thus, at the current level of AI development, mechanical service should be performed mostly by mechanical AI, thinking service by both thinking AI and HI, and feeling service mostly by HI. Mechanical AI should be used for standardization when service is routine and transactional, for cost leadership, and mostly at the service delivery stage. Thinking AI should be used for personalization when service is data-rich and utilitarian, for quality leadership, and mostly at the service creation stage. Feeling AI should be used for relationalization when service is relational and high touch, for relationship leadership, and mostly at the service interaction stage. We illustrate various AI applications for the three major AI benefits, providing managerial guidelines for service providers to leverage the advantages of AI as well as future research implications for service researchers to investigate AI in service from modeling, consumer, and policy perspectives. %B Journal of Service Research %G eng %R 10.1177/1094670520902266 %0 Journal Article %J Telecommunications Policy %D 2020 %T Ethics of autonomous weapons systems and its applicability to any AI systems %A Gómez de Ágreda, Ángel %K AI ethics %K Autonomous weapons %K CCW %K Dual-use AI %K Explainability %K Meaningful human control %X Most artificial intelligence technologies are dual-use. They are incorporated into both peaceful civilian applications and military weapons systems. Most of the existing codes of conduct and ethical principles on artificial intelligence address the former while largely ignoring the latter. But when these technologies are used to power systems specifically designed to cause harm, the question must be asked as to whether the ethics applied to military autonomous systems should also be taken into account for all artificial intelligence technologies susceptible of being used for those purposes. However, while a freeze in investigations is neither possible nor desirable, neither is the maintenance of the current status quo. Comparison between general-purpose ethical codes and military ones concludes that most ethical principles apply to human use of artificial intelligence systems as long as two characteristics are met: that the way algorithms work is understood and that humans retain enough control. In this way, human agency is fully preserved and moral responsibility is retained independently of the potential dual-use of artificial intelligence technology. %B Telecommunications Policy %I Elsevier Ltd %V 5 %P 101953 %G eng %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.telpol.2020.101953 %R 10.1016/j.telpol.2020.101953 %0 Journal Article %J MIT Sloan Management Review %D 2020 %T The Future of Work in Developing Economies %A Egana del Sol, Pablo %A Joyce, Connor %A Del Sol, Pablo Egaña %A Joyce, Connor %K Armenia %K Asia %K Austria %K automation %K Bolivia %K Business And Economics–Management %K China %K Developing countries–LDCs %K Employment %K future %K Georgia (country) %K Ghana %K Impact analysis %K Kenya %K Kuala Lumpur Malaysia %K Laos %K Republic of North Macedonia %K South Korea %K Sri Lanka %K United States–US %K Vietnam %K Workers %X

Much has been written about the rise of automation in developed countries. Economists have been busily creating models seeking to quantify the likely impact of automation on employment. However, far less has been written about the potential effects on work in developing nations. This is surprising, given that automation may be especially troublesome for developing economies. Here, del Sol and Joyce examine the effects of large-scale automation on workers in developing countries.

The increased pervasiveness of technological advancements in automation makes it urgent to address the question of how work is changing in response. Focusing on applications of machine learning (ML) to automate information tasks, we draw on a simple framework for identifying the impacts of an automated system on a task that suggests 3 patterns for the use of ML—decision support, blended decision making and complete automation. In this paper, we extend this framework by considering how automation of one task might have implications for interdependent tasks and how automation applies to coordination mechanisms.

The progress and interest among managers, academics and the public has created a hype among many industries, and many firms are investing heavily to capitalize on the technology through business model innovation. However, managers are left with little support from academia when aiming to implement AI in their firm's operations, which leads to an increased risk of project failure and unwanted results. This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of AI and how it can be used as a catalyst for business model innovation. Due to the increasing range and variety of the available published material, a literature review has been performed to gather current knowledge within AI business model innovation. The results are presented in a roadmap to guide the implementation of AI to firm's operations. Our presented findings suggest four steps when implementing AI: (1) understand AI and organizational capabilities needed for digital transformation; (2) understand current BM, potential for BMI, and business ecosystem role; (3) develop and refine capabilities needed to implement AI; and (4) reach organizational acceptance and develop internal competencies. %B AI %V 1 %P 180–191 %G eng %R 10.3390/ai1020011 %0 Conference Paper %B Proceedings of the 2020 IEEE Communication Strategies in Digital Society Seminar, ComSDS 2020 %D 2020 %T Key Advantages and Risks of Implementing Artificial Intelligence in the Activities of Professional Communicators %A Azarova, Liudmila %A Kudryavtseva, Maria %A Sharakhina, Larisa %K AI technologies risks %K artificial intelligence %K digital technologies %K professional communicators %X Nowadays we observe a wide penetration of digital technologies into communication experts practice.

In this paper, we apply a novel methodology of dynamic task shares to a large dataset of online job postings to explore how exactly occupational task demands have changed over the past decade of AI innovation, especially across high, mid and low wage occupations. Notably, big data and AI have risen significantly among high wage occupations since 2012 and 2016, respectively. We built an ARIMA model to predict future occupational task demands and showcase several relevant examples in Healthcare, Administration, and IT. Such task demands predictions across occupations will play a pivotal role in retraining the workforce of the future. %B AIES 2020 - Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society %P 36–42 %@ 9781450371100 %G eng %R 10.1145/3375627.3375826 %0 Journal Article %J Artificial Intelligence in Precision Health %D 2020 %T Machine learning-based clinical prediction modeling – A practical guide for clinicians %A Kernbach, Julius M. %A Staartjes, Victor E. %K Alzheimers disease detection %K artificial intelligence %K Convolutional neural networks %K Deep neural networks %K Ensemble machine learning methods %B Artificial Intelligence in Precision Health %I Elsevier Inc. %P 257–278 %@ 9780128171332 %G eng %U https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.15069v1 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-817133-2.00011-2 %R 10.1016/b978-0-12-817133-2.00011-2 %0 Journal Article %J Information and Management %D 2020 %T Machines as teammates: A research agenda on AI in team collaboration %A Seeber, Isabella %A Bittner, Eva %A Briggs, Robert O %A de Vreede, Triparna %A de Vreede, Gert Jan %A Elkins, Aaron %A Maier, Ronald %A Merz, Alexander B %A Oeste-Reiß, Sarah %A Randrup, Nils %A Schwabe, Gerhard %A Söllner, Matthias %K artificial intelligence %K Design %K Duality %K Research agenda %K Team collaboration %X What if artificial intelligence (AI) machines became teammates rather than tools?

In this research, we seek to discover how the potential users of this AI-based software (owners and employees from digital agencies based in France, Italy and Romania, as well as freelancers from these countries, with expertise in SMM) perceive the capabilities that we offer, as a way to differentiate our technological solution from other available in the market. We propose a causal model to find out which expected capabilities of the future AI-based software can explain potential users' intention to test and use this innovative technological solution for SMM, based on integer valued regression models.

By interpreting AI as a new type of agent within the firm, the theory of the firm can serve as a lingua franca to connect computer sciences and social sciences when dealing with the interdisciplinary phenomenon of AI. To achieve this, this paper adopts the perspective of the economic theory of the firm to systematically explore the changes that AI brings to the institution of the firm. In total, five interrelated propositions are discussed that are rooted in the traditional theory but trace the nature of the Artificially Intelligent Firm: AI intensifies the effects of economic rationality on the firm (1). AI introduces a new type of information asymmetry (2). AI can perforate the boundaries of the firm (3). AI can create triangular agency relationships (4) and AI has the potential to remove traditional limits of integration (5). %B Telecommunications Policy %I Elsevier Ltd %V 44 %P 101954 %G eng %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.telpol.2020.101954 %R 10.1016/j.telpol.2020.101954 %0 Journal Article %J Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society %D 2020 %T No automation please, we're British: Technology and the prospects for work %A Spencer, David %A Slater, Gary %K automation %K investment %K robots %K technology %K work %X This article assesses the impact and probably limits of automation.

The prospects for automation are seen as necessarily uncertain and potentially regressive in their effects, with technology likely to sustain a large number of low-quality jobs. The deep-seated problems of the UK economy-low-investment, low-productivity and low-real wages-are seen as key impediments to forms of automation that work for all in society.

Reframing the automation and future of work debate %A Willcocks, Leslie %K AI %K automation %K cognitive automation %K future of work %K Information Technology %K Jobs %K robotic process automation %K skills %X Robotics and the automation of knowledge work, often referred to as AI (artificial intelligence), are presented in the media as likely to have massive impacts, for better or worse, on jobs skills, organizations and society. The article deconstructs the dominant hype-and-fear narrative. Claims on net job loss emerge as exaggerated, but there will be considerable skills disruption and change in the major global economies over the next 12 years. The term AI has been hijacked, in order to suggest much more going on technologically than can be the case. The article reviews critically the research evidence so far, including the author's own, pointing to eight major qualifiers to the dominant discourse of major net job loss from a seamless, overwhelming AI wave sweeping fast through the major economies. The article questions many assumptions: that automation creates few jobs short or long term; that whole jobs can be automated; that the technology is perfectible; that organizations can seamlessly and quickly deploy AI; that humans are machines that can be replicated; and that it is politically, socially and economically feasible to apply these technologies. A major omission in all studies is factoring in dramatic increases in the amount of work to be done. Adding in ageing populations, productivity gaps and skills shortages predicted across many G20 countries, the danger might be too little, rather than too much labour. The article concludes that, if there is going to be a Robo-Apocalypse, this will be from a collective failure to adjust to skills change over the next 12 years. But the debate needs to be widened to the impact of eight other technologies that AI insufficiently represents in the popular imagination and that, in combination, could cause a techno-apocalypse. %B Journal of Information Technology %@ 0268396220925 %G eng %R 10.1177/0268396220925830 %0 Journal Article %J Computer Supported Cooperative Work: CSCW: An International Journal %D 2020 %T The Role of Discretion in the Age of Automation %A Petersen, Anette C.M. %A Christensen, Lars Rune %A Hildebrandt, Thomas T. %K Administrative work %K automation %K Casework %K Decision-Making %K Digital-ready legislation %K Digitisation %K Discretion %K Rules in action %K Social work %X This paper examines the nature of discretion in social work in order to debunk myths dominating prevalent debates on digitisation and automation in the public sector. Social workers have traditionally used their discretion widely and with great autonomy, but discretion has increasingly come under pressure for its apparent subjectivity and randomness. In Denmark, our case in point, the government recently planned to standardise laws to limit or remove discretion where possible in order for automation of case management to gain a foothold. Recent studies have focused on discretion in the public sector, but few have examined it explicitly and as part of real cases. As a consequence, they often leave the myths about discretion unchallenged. Inspired by the literature on discretion and CSCW research on rules in action, this study reports on an empirical investigation of discretion in child protection services in Denmark. The results of our analysis provide a new understanding of discretion as a cooperative endeavour, based on consultation and skill, rather than an arbitrary or idiosyncratic choice. In this manner, our study contradicts the myth of discretion inherent in the automation agenda. Correspondingly, we ask for attention to be given to systems that integrate discretion with technology rather than seek to undermine it directly or get around it surreptitiously. In this age of automation, this is not only an important but also an urgent task for CSCW researchers to fulfil. %B Computer Supported Cooperative Work: CSCW: An International Journal %V 29 %P 303–333 %G eng %R 10.1007/s10606-020-09371-3 %0 Journal Article %J The TQM Journal %D 2020 %T Think with me, or think for me?

Consequently, further research opportunities in the service industry domain are also expected. In light of the above, the purpose of this paper is to explore the potentialities and limitations of service robots in the hospitality industry. To this end, this paper uses a conceptual approach based on a literature review. As a result, we found that in contexts of high customer contact, service robots should be considered to perform standardized tasks due to social/emotional and cognitive/analytical complexity. The hospitality industry is therefore considered closely related to empathic intelligence, as the integration of service robots has not yet reached the desired stage of service delivery. In a seemingly far-fetched context of our reality, organizations will have to decide whether the AI will allow the complete replacement of humans with robots capable of performing the necessary cognitive and emotional tasks. Or investing in balanced capacities by integrating robot-human systems that seems a rea- sonable option these days.

The last decade has seen the proliferation of academic papers, consultancy reports and news articles about the possible effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work-creating visions of both utopian and dystopian workplace futures. AI has the potential to transform the demand for labour, the nature of work and operational infrastructure by solving complex problems with high efficiency and speed. However, despite hundreds of reports and studies, AI remains an enigma, a newly emerging technology, and its rate of adoption and implications for the structure of work are still only beginning to be understood. The current anxiety about labour displacement anticipates the growth and direct use of AI. Yet, in many ways, at present AI is likely being overestimated in terms of impact. Still, an increasing body of research argues the consequences for work will be highly uneven and depend on a range of factors, including place, economic activity, business culture, education levels and gender, among others. We appraise the history and the blurry boundaries around the definitions of AI. We explore the debates around the extent of job augmentation, substitution, destruction and displacement by examining the empirical basis of claims, rather than mere projections. Explorations of corporate reactions to the prospects of AI penetration, and the role of consultancies in prodding firms to embrace the technology, represent another perspective onto our inquiry. We conclude by exploring the impacts of AI changes in the quantity and quality of labour on a range of social, geographic and governmental outcomes. %B Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society %V 13 %P 3–23 %G eng %R 10.1093/cjres/rsaa004 %0 Journal Article %J Gizmodo %D 2019 %T Applying for your next job may be an automated nightmare %A Brian Merchant %K automation %K job %B Gizmodo %8 04/2019 %G eng %U https://gizmodo.com/applying-for-your-next-job-may-be-an-automated-nightmar-1834275825 %9 Automation %0 Generic %D 2019 %T Digitalization and the future of work: Macroeconomic consequences %A Melanie Arntz %A Terry Gregory %A Ulrich Zierahn %K automation %K Digitalization %K Inequality %K unemployment %X Computing power continues to grow at an enormous rate. Simultaneously, more and better data is increasingly available and Machine Learning methods have seen significant breakthroughs in the recent past. All this pushes further the boundary of what machines can do. Nowadays increasingly complex tasks are automatable at a precision which seemed infeasible only few years ago. The examples range from voice and image recognition, playing Go, to self-driving vehicles. Machines are able to perform more and more manual and also cognitive tasks that previously only humans could do. As a result of these developments, some argue that large shares of jobs are "at risk of automation", spurring public fears of massive job-losses and technological unemployment. This chapter discusses how new digital technologies might affect the labor market in the near future. First, the chapter discusses estimates of automation potentials, showing that many estimates are severely upward biased because they ignore that workers in seemingly automatable occupations already take over hard-to-automate tasks. Secondly, it highlights that these numbers only refer to what theoretically could be automated and that this must not be equated with job-losses or employment effects - a mistake that is done often in the public debate. Thirdly, the chapter develops scenarios on how digitalization is likely to affect the German labor market in the next five years and derives implications for policy makers on how to shape the future of work. Germany is an interesting case to study, as it is a developed country at the technological frontier. In particular, the main challenge will not be the number, but the structure of jobs and the corresponding need for supply side adjustments to meet the shift in demand both within and between occupations and sectors. %I ZEW - Leibniz-Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung %G eng %U http://hdl.handle.net/10419/200063 %0 Conference Proceedings %B FCA Conference on Governance in Banking %D 2019 %T The governance of artificial intelligence %A James Proudman %K AI use cases %B FCA Conference on Governance in Banking %8 05/2019 %G eng %U https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/speech/2019/managing-machines-the-governance-of-artificial-intelligence-speech-by-james-proudman %0 Conference Proceedings %B Proceedings of the 52nd Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) %D 2019 %T Impacts of machine learning on work %A Kevin Crowston %A Bolici, Francesco %K artificial intelligence %K automation %K machine learning %K work design %X

The increased pervasiveness of technological advancements in automation makes it urgent to address the question of how work is changing in response. Focusing on applications of machine learning (ML) that automate information tasks, we present a simple framework for identifying the impacts of an automated system on a task. From an analysis of popular press articles about ML, we develop 3 patterns for the use of ML--decision support, blended decision making and complete automation--with implications for the kinds of tasks and systems. We further consider how automation of one task might have implications for other interdependent tasks. Our main conclusion is that designers have a range of options for systems and that automation of tasks is not the same as automation of work.

Even though AI is considered an unprecedented disruptive force for work automation, much can be learned from current research on the computerization of work. Drawing on the seminal work of Shoshana Zuboff, this article provides a balanced perspective on the dual affordances of AI systems for automating and informating work. Whereas AI offers unique capacities for automating cognitive work that once required high-skill workers, it may be a source of unintended consequences such as cognitive complacency or de-skilling workers. To overcome such effects, the informating capacities of AI systems can be invoked to augment work, generate a more comprehensive perspective on organization, and finally equip workers with new sets of intellectual skills. %B Business Information Review %I Sage %P 026638211988399 %8 Dec-10-2020 %G eng %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0266382119883999 %R 10.1177/0266382119883999 %> https://waim.network/sites/crowston.syr.edu/files/In%20the%20Age%20of%20the%20Smart%20Artificial%20Intelligence%20AI%E2%80%99s%20Dual%20Capacities%20for%20Automating%20and%20Informating.pdf %0 Journal Article %J Network Intelligence Studies %D 2019 %T Will artificial intelligence take over human resources recruitment and selection? %A Bilal Hmoud %A Varallya Laszlo %K artificial intelligence %K human resources information systems %K recruitment and selection %B Network Intelligence Studies %V VII %G eng %U https://ideas.repec.org/a/cmj/networ/y2019i13p21-30.html %N 13 %0 Journal Article %J venturebeat %D 2018 %T AI is coming after highly skilled jobs, and it’s meeting resistance %A Sascha Eder %K AI %B venturebeat %G eng %U https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/04/ai-is-coming-after-highly-skilled-jobs-and-its-meeting-resistance/ %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Computer Science and Network Security %D 2018 %T Artificial Intelligence: A Case Study on Risk Mitigation %A Ahmed AL-Gindy %K AI application %K artificial intelligence %K Risk mitigation %X Artificial intelligence technologies are expanding at an extraordinary rate with wide range of applications from machine translation to medical image analysis.

To provide a more proactive and pragmatic perspective, this article highlights the complementarity of humans and AI and examines how each can bring their own strength in organizational decision-making process typically characterized by uncertainty, complexity, and equivocality. WIth a greater computational information processing capacity and an analytical approach, AI can extend humans' cognition when addressing complexity, whereas human can still offer a more holistic, intuitive approach in dealing with uncertainty and equivocality in organizational decision making. This premise mirrors the idea of intelligence augmentation, which states that AI systems should be designed with the intention of augmenting, not replacing, human contribution. %B Business Horizons %7 586 %I Elsevier %V 61 %G eng %& 577 %R 10.1016/j.bushor.2018.03.007 %0 Journal Article %J Cureus %D 2018 %T Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Radiation Oncology %A Weidlich, Vincent %A Weidlich, Georg A. %K artificial intelligence %K big data %K error analysis %K error prevention %K machine learning %K process efficiency %K process optimization %K quality improvement %K radiation oncology %X Artificial Intelligence (AI) was reviewed with a focus on its potential applicability to radiation oncology.

The article presents the intelligent system of feedbacks, realized as JavaScript extension to Moodle platform, which intends to strength cognitive output of the preformed learning activity, creating an illusion of the trainer's presence and, therefore, contribute to the resolution of the first problem. The resolution of the second problem is proposed using artificial intelligence worker built in Blue Prism RPA platform, which performs validation of test questions upon strict criteria of selection.

Fortunately, many tasks of systematic reviews have the potential to be automated or may be assisted by automation. Recent advances in natural language processing, text mining and machine learning have produced new algorithms that can accurately mimic human endeavour in systematic review activity, faster and more cheaply. Automation tools need to be able to work together, to exchange data and results. Therefore, we initiated the International Collaboration for the Automation of Systematic Reviews (ICASR), to successfully put all the parts of automation of systematic review production together. The first meeting was held in Vienna in October 2015. We established a set of principles to enable tools to be developed and integrated into toolkits. This paper sets out the principles devised at that meeting, which cover the need for improvement in efficiency of SR tasks, automation across the spectrum of SR tasks, continuous improvement, adherence to high quality standards, flexibility of use and combining components, the need for a collaboration and varied skills, the desire for open source, shared code and evaluation, and a requirement for replicability through rigorous and open evaluation. Automation has a great potential to improve the speed of systematic reviews. Considerable work is already being done on many of the steps involved in a review. The 'Vienna Principles' set out in this paper aim to guide a more coordinated effort which will allow the integration of work by separate teams and build on the experience, code and evaluations done by the many teams working across the globe. %B Systematic Reviews %I Springer %8 2018 %G eng %N 77 %9 Review %6 7 %R 10.1186/s13643-018-0740-7 %0 Report %D 2018 %T Occupational Classifications With A Machine Learning Approach %A Akina Ikudo %A Julia Lane %A Joseph Staudt %A Bruce A.

While techno-optimists and techno-pessimists contest whether a jobless future is a positive development or not, this paper points to the elephant in the room. Despite successive waves of computerization (including advanced machine learning), jobs have not disappeared. And probably won't in the near future. To explain why, some basic insights from organization studies can make a contribution. I propose the concept of 'bounded automation' to demonstrate how organizational forces mould the application of technology in the employment sector. If work does not vanish in the age of AI, then poorly paid jobs will most certainly proliferate, I argue. Finally, a case is made for the scholarly community to engage with wider social justice concerns. This I term public organization studies. %B Organization Studies %7 2 %P 017084061876556 %8 04/2018 %G eng %U http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0170840618765568 %R 10.1177/0170840618765568 %0 Conference Paper %B Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) %D 2018 %T Towards a Sociological Conception of Artificial Intelligence %A Jakub Mlynar %A Hamed S. Alavi %A Himanshu Verma %A Lorenzo Cantoni %K artificial intelligence %K Social sciences %K Sociology %X Social sciences have been always formed and influenced by the development of society, adjusting the conceptual, methodological, and theoretical frameworks to emerging social phenomena. In recent years, with the leap in the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the proliferation of its everyday applications, "non-human intelligent actors" are increasingly becoming part of the society. This is manifested in the evolving realms of smart home systems, autonomous vehicles, chatbots, intelligent public displays, etc. In this paper, we present a prospective research project that takes one of the pioneering steps towards establishing a "distinctively sociological" conception of AI. Its first objective is to extract the existing conceptions of AI as perceived by its technological developers and (possibly differently) by its users. In the second part, capitalizing on a set of interviews with experts from social science domains, we will explore the new imaginable conceptions of AI that do not originate from its technological possibilities but rather from societal necessities. The current formal ways of defining AI are grounded in the technological possibilities, namely, machine learning methods and neural network models. Buy what exactly is AI as a social phenomenon, which may act on its own, can be blamed responsible for ethically problematic behavior, or even endanger people's employment? We argue that such conceptual investigation is a crucial step for further empirical studies of phenomena related to AI's position in current societies, but also will open up ways for critiques of new technological advancements with social consequences in mind from the outset. %B Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) %I Springer %G eng %R 10.1007/978-3-319-97676-1_13 %0 Conference Paper %B iConference %D 2018 %T Work that Enables Care: Understanding Tasks, Automation, and the National Health Service %A Matt WIllis %A Eric T.

In order to improve these quantitative models, we focus on the potential impacts of task-level automation on health work, using qualitative ethnographic research to understand the mundane information work in general practices. By understanding the detailed tasks and variations of information work, we are building a more complete and accurate understanding of how healthcare staff work and interact with technology and with each other, often mediated by technology. %B iConference %I Springer %G eng %R 10.1007/978-3-319-78105-1_60 %0 Conference Paper %B Scientific Methods in Academic Research and Teaching International Conference %D 2017 %T Are We Safe Enough in the Future of Artificial Intelligence?

The objective of this study is to provide a general discussion about the expressed research topics and try to find some answers to the question of 'Are we safe enough in the future of Artificial Intelligence?'. In detail, the discussion includes a comprehensive focus on 'dystopic' scenarios, enables interested researchers to think about some 'moral dilemmas' and family have some ethical outputs that are considerable for developing good intelligent systems. From a general perspective, the discussion taken here is a good opportunity to improve awareness on the mentioned, remarkable research topics associated with not only Artificial Intelligence but also many other natural and social sciences taking role in the humankind %B Scientific Methods in Academic Research and Teaching International Conference %P 184-197 %G eng %0 Web Page %D 2017 %T How AI is streamlining marketing and sales %A Brad Power %K AI use cases %B hbr.com %8 06/2017 %G eng %U https://hbr.org/2017/06/how-ai-is-streamlining-marketing-and-sales %0 Journal Article %J Glocalism %D 2017 %T Seeing Like a Tesla: How Can We Anticipate Self-Driving Worlds? %A Jack Stilgoe %K automotive autonomy %K governance %K risk %K self-driving cars %K Tesla %X In the last five years, investment and innovation in self-driving cars has accelerated dramatically. Automotive autonomy, once seen as impossible, is now sold as inevitable. Much of the governance discussion has centred on risk: will the cars be safer than their human-controlled counterparts? As with conventional cars, harder long-term questions relate to the future worlds that self-driving technologies might enable or even demand. The vision of an autonomous vehicle – able to navigate the world’s complexity using only its sensors and processors – on offer from companies like Tesla is intentionally misleading. So-called “autonomous” vehicles will depend upon webs of social and technical connectivity. For their purported benefits to be realised, infrastructures that were designed around humans will need to be upgraded in order to become machine-readable. It is vital to anticipate the politics of self-driving worlds in order to avoid exacerbating the inequalities that have emerged around conventional cars. Rather than being dazzled by the Tesla view, policymakers should start seeing like a city, from multiple perspectives. Good governance for self-driving cars means democratising experimentation and creating genuine collaboration between companies and local governments. %B Glocalism %V 3 %G eng %R 10.12893/gjcpi.2017.3.2 %0 Magazine Article %D 2017 %T A self-driving shuttle in Las Vegas got into an accident on its first day of service %A Nick Statt %K autonomous vehicles %B the verge %8 11/2017 %G eng %U https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/8/16626224/las-vegas-self-driving-shuttle-crash-accident-first-day %0 Journal Article %J Information, Communication & Society %D 2017 %T Thinking critically about and researching algorithms %A Kitchin, Rob %K Algorithmic management %B Information, Communication & Society %V 20 %P 14 - 29 %8 Feb-01-2017 %G eng %N 1 %R 10.1080/1369118X.2016.1154087 %0 Journal Article %J Science and Engineering Ethics %D 2017 %T Will Life Be Worth Living in a World Without Work? Technological Unemployment and the Meaning of Life %A John Danaher %K Antiwork %K automation %K Egalitarianism %K Freedom %K Meaning of life %K Technological unemployment %K Transhumanism %X Suppose we are about to enter an era of increasing technological unemployment. What implications does this have for society? Two distinct ethical/social issues would seem to arise. The first is one of distributive justice: how will the (presumed) efficiency gains from automated labour be distributed through society? The second is one of personal fulfillment and meaning: if people no longer have to work, what will they do with their lives? In this article, I set aside the first issue and focus on the second. In doing so, I make three arguments. First I argue that there are good reasons to embrace non-work and that these reasons become more compelling in an era of technological unemployment. Second, I argue that the technological advances that make widespread technological unemployment possible could still threaten or undermine human flourishing and meaning, especially if (as is to be expected) they do not remain confined to the economic sphere. And third, I argue that this threat could be contained if we adopt an integrative approach to our relationship with technology. In advancing these arguments, I draw on three distinct literatures: (1) the literature on technological unemployment and workplace automation; (2) the antiwork critique - which I argue gives reasons to embrace technological unemployment; and (3) the philosophical debate about the conditions for meaning in life - which I argue gives reasons for concern. %B Science and Engineering Ethics %I Springer %V 23 %G eng %& 41-64 %R 10.1007s/11948-016-9770-5 %0 Magazine Article %D 2016 %T AI can show us the ravages of climate change %A Will Knight %K AI use cases %B MIT Technology Review %G eng %U https://www.technologyreview.com/f/613547/ai-can-show-us-the-ravages-of-climate-change/ %0 Thesis %B Computer Science %D 2016 %T Exploring design principles for human-machine symbiosis: Insights from constructing an air transportation logistics artifact %A Daniel A.
