Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) from a user perspective- A synthesis of prior literature and problematizing avenues for future research
The final search query for the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was
conducted on 15th July 2022. Initially, we extracted 1707 journal and
conference articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Inclusion and
exclusion criteria were then applied, and 58 articles were selected for the
SLR. The findings show four dimensions that shape the AI explanation, which are
format (explanation representation format), completeness (explanation should
contain all required information, including the supplementary information),
accuracy (information regarding the accuracy of the explanation), and currency
(explanation should contain recent information). Moreover, along with the
automatic representation of the explanation, the users can request additional
information if needed. We have also found five dimensions of XAI effects:
trust, transparency, understandability, usability, and fairness. In addition,
we investigated current knowledge from selected articles to problematize future
research agendas as research questions along with possible research paths.
Consequently, a comprehensive framework of XAI and its possible effects on user
behavior has been developed
Designing Playful Games and Applications to Support Science Centers Learning Activities
In recent years there has been a renewed interest on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Following this interest, science centers\u27 staff started providing technology enhanced informal STEM education experiences. The use of well-designed mobile and ubiquitous forms of technology to enrich informal STEM education activities is an essential success factor. The goal of our research is to investigate how technology applications can be better used and developed for taking full advantage of the opportunities and challenges they provide for students learning about STEM concepts. In our approach, we have conducted a series of interviews with experts from science center curating and outdoor learning activities development, with the final goal of exploring and improving current learning environments and practices. This paper presents the development of set of design considerations for the development of STEM games and applications of young students. An initial set of best practices was first developed through semi-structures interviews with experts; and afterwards, by employing content analysis, a revised set of considerations was obtained. These results are useful for STEM education teachers, curriculum designers, curators and developers for K-12 education environments
A conceptual framework for the adoption of big data analytics by e-commerce startups: a case-based approach
E-commerce start-ups have ventured into emerging economies and are growing at a significantly faster pace. Big data has acted like a catalyst in their growth story. Big data analytics (BDA) has attracted e-commerce firms to invest in the tools and gain cutting edge over their competitors. The process of adoption of these BDA tools by e-commerce start-ups has been an area of interest as successful adoption would lead to better results. The present study aims to develop an interpretive structural model (ISM) which would act as a framework for efficient implementation of BDA. The study uses hybrid multi criteria decision making processes to develop the framework and test the same using a real-life case study. Systematic review of literature and discussion with experts resulted in exploring 11 enablers of adoption of BDA tools. Primary data collection was done from industry experts to develop an ISM framework and fuzzy MICMAC analysis is used to categorize the enablers of the adoption process. The framework is then tested by using a case study. Thematic clustering is performed to develop a simple ISM framework followed by fuzzy analytical network process (ANP) to discuss the association and ranking of enablers. The results indicate that access to relevant data forms the base of the framework and would act as the strongest enabler in the adoption process while the company rates technical skillset of employees as the most important enabler. It was also found that there is a positive correlation between the ranking of enablers emerging out of ISM and ANP. The framework helps in simplifying the strategies any e-commerce company would follow to adopt BDA in future. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature

Artificial Intelligence in Information Systems: State of the Art and Research Roadmap
Many would argue that artificial intelligence (AI) is not only technology but also a paradigmatic shift in the relationship between humans and machines. Much literature assumes that AI-powered practices substantially differ from and profoundly change organizational structures, communication, affordances, and ecosystems. However, AI research remains fragmented and often lacks clarity. While the information systems (IS) discipline can play a pivotal role in AI’s emergence and use, the discipline needs a clear direction that specifies how it can contribute and its key research themes and questions. This paper draws on a professional development workshop that we organized at the 2020 International Conference on Information Systems and the discussions that followed. We summarize and synthesize how AI has impacted organizational practices over five decades and provide views from various perspectives. We identify weaknesses in the current AI literature as measured against conceptual clarity, theoretical glue, cumulative tradition, parsimony, and applicability. We also identify direct actions that the IS research community can undertake to address these issues. Finally, we propose a next-step research agenda to guide AI research in the coming years. © 2022 by the Association for Information Systems.Immediate accessThis item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

The Internet of Things as Smart City Enabler: The Cases of Palo Alto, Nice and Stockholm
Due to rapid urbanization, city populations are rapidly increasing all over the world creating new problems and challenges. Solving some of these problems requires innovative approaches; one increasingly popular approach is to transform cities to Smart Cities. Smart Cities implement innovative approaches based on IoT technologies and convert many services to digital services. These services are implemented within the different components of a Smart City, helping city administrators to improve the life of the citizens, addressing different service, security and administrative challenges. The objective of this paper is to explore and determine how three well-known cities - Nice, Palo Alto and Stockholm - implemented the Smart City concept. The study indicates that a successful implementation of a Smart City model requires addressing a number of critical challenges: citizen involvement, business collaboration and strong leadership prove to be key success factors in the Smart City development process
