Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the dynamic landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data technologies, focusing on both their transformative potential and the challenges they present for businesses and society. As AI and Big Data continue to drive innovation across industries, they raise critical questions about ethics, data privacy, workforce displacement, and equitable access to technological benefits. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute original insights, methodologies, and case studies that not only highlight advancements in AI and Big Data, but also address the societal, economic, and regulatory challenges arising from their rapid adoption. This Special Issue seeks to create a balanced discourse on the opportunities and complexities of these technologies, fostering a deeper understanding of how organizations and societies can adapt and thrive in this evolving environment.
