As AI systems become more powerful, ensuring their safe and ethical use necessitates accountability, requiring actors to explain and justify any unintended behavior and outcomes. Recognizing the significance of accountability for AI systems, research from various research disciplines, including information systems (IS), has started investigating the topic. However, accountability for AI systems appears ambiguous across multiple research disciplines. Therefore, we conduct a bibliometric analysis with 5,809 publications to aggregate and synthesize existing research to better understand accountability for AI systems. Our analysis distinguishes IS research, defined by the Web of Science “Computer Science, Information Systems” category, from related non-IS disciplines. This differentiation highlights IS research’s unique socio-technical contribution while ensuring and integrating insights from across the broader academic landscape on accountability for AI systems. Building on these findings, we derive research propositions to lead future research on accountability for AI systems. Finally, we apply these research propositions to the context of generative AI systems and derive a research agenda to guide future research on this emerging topic.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely, wisely and securely becomes critical when digital literacy and access to technologies are limited and livelihood possibilities are precarious such as in the context of vulnerable migrants. We use the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework in its operationalised version called AREA Plus as a lens to reflect on our research-practice in relation to two projects in sensitive contexts that were designed with vulnerable groups to co-create digital interventions aimed at improving their lives. In so doing, we introduce a new ‘sustainability’ dimension to AREA Plus to develop what we term the AREAS framework. We contribute to knowledge by using the AREA Plus framework in the context of Africa, South East Asia and South America migration and by further enhancing it; to methodology by highlighting the procedures followed when working with vulnerable groups; and to practice through the promotion of responsible digital practices.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"245 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, amid the ongoing deregulation and competition with private sectors, there are compulsions to leverage digital technologies for improving economic performance and customer satisfaction. In the above context, little is known about the role played by organizational capabilities in technology-led transformation of government. We employ SEM technique to validate our conceptual model that investigates the role of organizational capabilities on the degree of digitalization in the government organization and data for the same was collected from 196 government officials with relevant experience. The study found that effective digital strategy formulation increases employee digital capabilities and positively impacts digitalization in government. Vendor management capability is observed to mediate the relationship between digital strategy and digitalization in government while employee digital capability has an indirect impact through vendor management. Cultural and organizational barriers do not dampen the relationship between vendor management and digitalization in government. Our results integrate the dynamic capability framework with developments in digital transformation and technology sourcing literature.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143910665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the study examines how structural, cognitive, and relational social capital fosters cyber resilience and contributes to proactive value construction, enhancing SMEs’ AI readiness and enabling them to construct and sustain value while safeguarding against potential cyber threats. The study adopts a Covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) approach to analyse 589 valid responses. A multi-wave data strategy with an interval cross-lagged design was implemented to reduce the risk of common method bias. The findings reveal that structural and relational capital significantly drive AI readiness, while cognitive social capital enhances cyber resilience, which is pivotal in constructing and protecting organisational value. Moreover, cyber resilience mediates the relationship between cognitive social capital and AI readiness, and enabling value construction amid cyber-related disruptions. SMEs with robust social capital networks are better equipped to leverage AI technologies for innovation and growth, construct new value streams, and defend against cyber risks, securing value in dynamic digital environments. This study contributes to the growing discourse on cybersecurity and digital transformation by offering insights into how SMEs can bolster digital innovation and construct sustainable value in the face of mounting cyber risks.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach pursued in this paper to solve the above task consists in finding an explanation, namely, a piece of information encoding the characteristics that locate the anomalous data object far from the normal data. Our explanation consists of two components, the choice, encoding the set of features in which the anomalous object deviates from the rest of the population, and the mask, encoding the associated amount of deviation with respect to the normality. The goal here is not to explain the decisional process of a model but, rather, to provide an explanation justifying the output of the decisional process by only inspecting the data set on which the decision has been made. We tackle this problem by introducing an innovative deep learning architecture, called MMOAM, based on the adversarial learning paradigm. We assess the effectiveness of our technique over both synthetic and real data sets and compare it against state of the art outlier explanation methods reporting better performances in different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143853421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze, utilizing a systematic literature review, how various ethical views influence our understanding of morality and responsibility in human-AI collaborations. Deontological ethics emerge as a dominant theme, with much of the literature centered on ethical principles shaped by powerful nations. The study highlights the need to integrate diverse ethical perspectives into AI research to address contradictions in ethical frameworks across various cultural contexts. While respecting cultural differences, achieving a common ground among these frameworks requires increased dialogue among AI researchers and practitioners. Our findings further underscore the importance of future research in developing a more cohesive understanding of how AI transformation challenges previous assumptions about AI’s role in moral agency and responsibility.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing traditional technologies have made some progress, but they often fail to adapt to the unique needs of these populations. Although artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities to meet these limitations, its rapid advancement has outpaced the development of integrative studies, leaving its potential impact on financial access by the underserved largely unexplored. Existing research provides fragmented insights into how different technological interventions impact diverse groups. We develop a segment-outcome-focused analysis to structure a scoping review of 95 information systems studies to assess current technological advances for FI and explore how AI can address their limitations, including limited digital literacy, uneven and high cost of infrastructure, and service personalization. We then engender future research directions and conclude with theoretical contributions and practical implications, emphasizing the potential of AI solutions to advance FI.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143733997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
