Digital technologies like AI, platforms, and IoT are transforming organizations and society, creating both significant value and serious risks including algorithmic bias, privacy violations, and cybersecurity threats. This special issue seeks research on information systems that are simultaneously responsible—fair, transparent, ethical, and respectful of human rights—and resilient, able to withstand disruptions and recover from failures.
The research community needs theoretically grounded and empirically rigorous studies that move beyond simple technology adoption narratives to examine post-adoption use, value realization, human-machine collaboration, and the long-term impacts of digital systems. Information systems researchers are uniquely positioned to explore how responsibility and resilience interplay across individuals, organizations, institutions, and society.
The special issue welcomes submissions using various research methods that advance understanding of responsible and resilient digital futures in specific technological and organizational contexts. It is linked to the InCIS 2027 conference but is also open to all authors through direct submission.
