As we move towards Society 5.0, where human-centric approaches meet cutting-edge technologies, this track aims to delve into the individual, ethical, technological, and societal impacts of AI and advanced technologies. We invite contributions that critically examine the consequences of the recent developments on individuals, society as well as ethical considerations that accompany technological integration.
Topics of interest for this track include but are not limited to:

• The Role of AI and Emerging Technologies in Society 5.0: How AI, IoT, and other advanced technologies are shaping the future of society and business.
• Knowledge Management in the Age of AI: Exploring how AI enhances knowledge creation, dissemination, and management within organizations.
• Technological Ethics: Addressing the ethical challenges posed by AI, big data, and automation, particularly in the context of privacy, transparency, and societal impact.
• Human-Centric Technologies: Understanding the balance between human-centric approaches and the increasing reliance on AI-driven systems.

• Sustainability and Innovation: How emerging technologies can contribute to sustainable business models and the creation of value-driven innovation.
• Human and machines: Exploring different types of collaboration between the different actors and the role of trust in these types.

This track welcomes empirical research, theoretical papers, and case studies that advance our understanding of how AI and emerging technologies influence business, society, and the ethical landscapes in which we operate. Submissions should aim to provide insights into how human-centered organizations can harness these technologies to foster innovation, sustainability, and ethical responsibility.
