This special issue asks a fundamental question about artificial intelligence and social science: do we want it to produce faster, cheaper versions of what we already do, or do we want fundamentally new science? Returning to Organization Science's founding mission—Daft and Lewin's 1990 call to break out of the "normal science straitjacket" and March's "exploration of new possibilities"—we want to shift our focus to how AI is changing the production of science and how it can expand our knowledge, rather than merely increasing the number of papers through efficiency and reduced labor.
In this call for science, we seek contributions that reimagine what a social science research contribution is in an AI-enabled world, encouraging wild ideas and radical innovation over obvious incremental improvement. We are not looking for conventional full-length papers with AI-related content, nor "AI slop"—we want the innovative applications themselves.
