This session aims to provide a platform for debating the emerging implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in society. We seek to host a diverse range of contributions, including empirical and theoretical research, novel ideas, research in progress, and new projects. The focus will be on examining the multifaceted impacts of AI in the contemporary world, particularly its ethical, legal, and societal implications for science, technology development, and innovation processes across different countries, organizations, and cultural environments. We especially welcome research that addresses new challenges posed by AI, such as the intensification of inequality, exclusion, and the consolidation of power within oligopolistic structures.
