Submitted by Brent Jesiek, IEEE-ETHICS Conference Chair
A synopsis of the key ideas and implications of SSIT’s recent IEEE ETHICS-2023 conference appeared in the June 6th edition of Purdue University’s Office of Research highlights publication. Here are some highlights from the article:
…The three-day mid-May conference brought together 180 people at the tops of their fields in government, academe and the private sector to explore the theme, “ethics in the global innovation helix,” with particular attention to defining and confronting the big questions surfacing around AI. Among them: how to establish ethical and legal governance for AI; what AI means for the future of work; AI’s potential effects on diversity and equity; and the need to adapt education to AI ubiquity.
Local conference organizer Brent Jesiek, Purdue professor of engineering education and electrical and computer engineering, said the strength of the event was in its diversity: “I think that bringing together a multisector interdisciplinary perspective on these emerging issues is really the only way we’re going to address them. We have people from STEM fields, social sciences and humanities. The power is in bringing them together.”
Stefanie Tompkins, director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), attended the conference. She said such events are critical to national preparedness. “It’s incredibly important for any science and technology organization to wrestle with the hard questions and look critically at potential impacts of technology development,” Tompkins said. “Conversations with the broader community of ethicists help us see more clearly around corners and over the horizon so we can collectively be better at anticipating potential consequences — the ethical, legal and societal implications of emerging technologies. …

This CFP is for a Special Issue that will be developed in affiliation with the IEEE ISTAS 2023 Conference.
Guest Editors:

- Mohammad I. Merhi, Indiana University South Bend, USA
- Abdullah Albizri, Montclair State University, USA
- Denis Dennehy, Swansea University, Wales
- Jason Thatcher, Temple University, USA
Sustainable development builds on the premise that development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (United Nations). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are global, grand challenges that are inherently complex, multi-faceted and socially embedded (Henriksen et al., 2021). The SDGs inevitably encounter tensions between their design and implementation, representing design-reality gaps (Pradhan et al., 2022; Heeks, 2020a; Dennehy et al., 2014). While optimism is relatively high about the role of technology and analytics in supporting sustainable global development (Smidt & Jokonya, 2022), significant learning remains about how best to use them as ‘platforms that mediate development’ (Heeks, 2020b).
There is increasing awareness and expectation that the academic community has an active role in achieving sustainable development that includes three interconnected elements, namely, economic well-being and social inclusion (Baghdadi, et al. 2020; Johnson et al., 2021), and environmental protection (Dennehy et al., 2021; Dwivedi et al., 2022). Despite the efforts made by scholars to advance the understanding of applying technology and analytics to encourage sustainable development and energy conservation (e.g., Albizri, 2020; Khene & Masiero, 2022; Masiero & Arvidsson, 2021), a concerted effort by academic disciplines, policymakers, practitioners, and the intended beneficiaries of the SDGs is required to discover and create better ways to build an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for people and planet (Harfouche et al., 2019; Harfouche et al., 2022).
This Special Issue of the journal Information Systems Frontiers brings together contributions from various perspectives, disciplines, and communities to advance knowledge of how to apply technological innovations and data analytics for sustainable development to make the world a better place for all (Walsham, 2012). Some organizations focus on driving business value and keeping ahead of competitors. At the same time, others focus on facilitating societal change by generating both business value and social value. For this reason, organizations are investing more in responsible technological innovations, including responsible AI (Johnson et al., 2021; Merhi, 2022) for an ethical and inclusive digitized society. To further understand how to apply technology innovation and analytics to encourage sustainable social and economic development, we seek interdisciplinary papers that bridge domains including information systems, organizational science, strategic management, and information science.
Important Dates:
- Submission deadline: 30 September 2023
- Notification of first round reviews: 15 December 2023 § Revised Manuscripts due: 15 February 2024
- Notification of second round reviews: 30 April 2024

This Special Issue of the journal Information Technology for Development aims to stimulate rigorous scientific research on the role of indigenous knowledge in IT for sustainable development. Heading into the critical second half of the SDG 2030 agenda, this Special Issue focuses on how to leverage and integrate indigenous knowledge to increase the contribution of IT solutions to the achievement of the SDGs. It aspires to demonstrate how strengthening the involvement of indigenous peoples, local communities, and their knowledge can influence the impacts of IT-based development strategies that meet the needs of poor and marginalized communities. Thus, we welcome papers that reveal the positive and/or negative aspects of associating indigenous knowledge and IT for sustainable development.
This Special Issue welcomes papers from all disciplines and encourages multidisciplinary that apply quantitative, qualitative, design science or mixed-methods research approaches.
