    Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have led organizations to increasingly automate cognitive tasks such as decision making, knowledge search, and even in some cases, the production of new knowledge. It is only recently that this topic has attracted attention from researchers in management; thus, there are numerous opportunities in this area for making research contributions. Furthermore, the development of AI and ML methods have also introduced new methodological tools to management research, and some new studies are using these in innovative ways to contribute theoretical insights.

    The PDW aims to provide scholars with 1) an overview of recent work that looks at the role of AI and ML in shaping organizations and their outcomes, 2) an introduction to using AI and ML as empirical tools in research, and 3) an opportunity to develop new research ideas and network with scholars with associated research interests.

    The structure of the workshop is as follows. In the first part, a panel of five distinguished scholars will provide an overview of research being done, methods used, and highlight further opportunities for research in this area. In the second part, participants will be assigned into five discussion groups at round tables to discuss various research ideas and methodologies.

    No registration is required for attending the entire session. Those wishing to participate in the idea discussion group roundtables must attend the entire session and send a write-up (up to one page, font size 12, .pdf or .docx format) to aom.ai.pdw@gmail.com with the subject line "AOM 2019 PDW Proposal". The write-up may consist of the following: 1) brief research question related to AI or ML; 2) possible theoretical lenses, 3) preferred research methodology. In case you have an overlap with another session, and wish to attend a part of the PDW, please send an email to hketkar@umich.edu.

    The deadline for submitting the write-up is July 31, 2019. There are limited seats available for the roundtables. Selected participants will be intimated by the end of July.
