Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming the global landscape, reshaping not only technological innovation but also institutional operations and social structures. This workshop seeks to critically interrogate the intricate and multidimensional impacts of AI across diverse institutional domains. Specifically, it aims to explore the intersections of technological advancements and societal structures through the lens of institutional theory, considering how AI both disrupts and reconstitutes organizational norms, practices, and frameworks.

As AI continues to evolve, it challenges traditional paradigms of organizational design, governance, and social interaction, prompting a reevaluation of institutional resilience and adaptability. Key areas of interest include but are not limited to the reconfiguration of institutional capabilities, the interplay between AI and geopolitical or regulatory challenges, the promotion or undermining of equity and inclusivity, and the transformation of workforce dynamics and organizational adaptability.
