Artificial Intelligence (AI) in IS Research: Disrupting Journals, Conferences, and Peer Review

Rich Klein, Lakshmi Iyer, D N Chen, Robert E. Crossler, Suprateek Sarker, Han Zhang

The rapid diffusion of generative AI into academic workflows has created a structural tension in scholarly publishing. On one side, AI offers genuine productivity gains — literature synthesis, writing assistance, code generation. On the other hand, it introduces systemic risks that journals were never designed to manage, such as synthetic data, ghostwritten manuscripts, fabricated citations, and automated reviews that mimic but do not replicate critical scholarly judgment. Information Systems (IS), as a discipline that studies technology and organizations, occupies a uniquely reflexive position in this debate — IS scholars are simultaneously subject to these pressures and among the best-placed to theorize and respond to them.

The Invisible Gap: How AI Productivity Masks Eroding Expertise in Knowledge Work – and what to do about it

Alina Asisof

Generative and agentic AI is rapidly reshaping how knowledge workers think, learn, and produce — lifting productivity substantially, with the largest gains concentrated among novices and lower-skilled workers (Brynjolfsson et al., 2025). Yet the same dynamic raises a deeper quest…
