The adoption of Artificial Intelligence represents one of the most significant technological changes, with profound implications in organisational models, public policies and everyday life. This symposium proposes a space for critical reflection and interdisciplinary dialogue on processes of AI incorporation in the productive, governmental and citizen sectors. It will examine the conditions that enable or hinder its effective and ethical adoption, considering factors such as governance, institutional capacities, organisational innovation and digital competences. Background information will be presented to better understand perceptions of risks and benefits in businesses and the general population, as well as experiences that allow understanding how this technology can be integrated in a sustainable, inclusive and strategic way. Academics, regulators and practitioners are invited to submit papers and applications demonstrating the impact of AI on businesses, the state or individuals, and to discuss the challenges of AI-driven digital transformation.
