The Korean Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) is excited to announce its upcoming annual Summer Workshop, to be held at Chung-Ang University in Seoul, Korea. As a Korea Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), KrAIS is dedicated to fostering scholarship among AIS members of Korean heritage and beyond. We extend a warm invitation to researchers and professionals across the globe who are involved in the development, application, and utilization of digital technologies to participate in our event.
This year’s theme, “Agentic AI and the Transformation of Digital Organizations: Strategy, Governance, Security, and Human–AI Collaboration,” highlights the next phase of digital transformation. As artificial intelligence (AI) evolves from a supportive analytical tool to increasingly autonomous and decision-capable systems, organizations face fundamental challenges related not only to value creation and competitive strategy, but also to governance, cybersecurity, risk management, and institutional accountability
Agentic AI systems that are capable of initiating actions, generating recommendations, and coordinating workflows are reshaping organizational structures, redefining human authority, and introducing new security vulnerabilities and compliance concerns. As AI systems become embedded in critical infrastructures, digital platforms, and enterprise decision-making processes, issues of security, trust, and organizational resilience become central to digital strategy.
The workshop is designed as a venue for the exchange of ideas, the promotion of cooperation among attendees, and the facilitation of connections between Korean scholars. Furthermore, it aims to offer valuable networking prospects for graduate students and junior faculty to refine their research skills, advance their academic pursuits, and progress in their careers through direct engagement and advice from their peers and senior scholars. Importantly, a Doctoral Consortium will be organized as a part of the workshop, scheduled for the first day of the conference (July 2).
In line with the theme, we are seeking submissions that address global tech trends, innovation futures, and strategies for an uncertain AI-driven world. Submissions can be in the form of completed full papers or work-in-progress short papers. Each submission will undergo a review process by our program committee. Accepted full papers will be discussed in-depth with a designated discussant – a senior scholar with notable publishing or editorial experience (e.g., former and current SE, AE, and reviewers from premier IS journals such as Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly). Meanwhile, accepted short papers will be presented in a dedicated session without a discussant. We especially encourage doctoral students and junior faculty to submit their work. Papers authored by students will be given priority consideration.
