7th International Research Conference on Social
and Applied Sciences
The School of Postgraduate Studies (SPS) at the Adventist University of Africa (AUA) is delighted to announce its 7th AUA Research Conference on the theme: AI in Healthcare, Education, Business, and Research: Embracing a Changing Landscape in Organizations. The choice of the theme aligns with the current trends emerging in our communities regarding digitalization.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a defining force in contemporary society. It permeates almost all our lives, including health, education, employment, and business. If well understood and harnessed properly, it has the potential to be a valuable personal or organizational resource that can transform our existence for the better. It offers several opportunities, including increased efficiency, more informed data-driven decision-making, and increased quality services to customers. On the other hand, AI can present challenges.
Concerns have been raised regarding privacy infringements, high infrastructure costs, job displacement, lack of sufficient knowledge, and personal biases. Clearly, it takes skills and knowledge for us to thrive in an environment that is increasingly becoming digital. This conference will serve as a platform for scholars, researchers, professionals, and students to come together and discuss the transformative impact of AI in diverse organizational settings. We invite conceptual, theoretical, and empirical papers that would shed light, invite reflections, and increase our understanding of what it takes to navigate this new era. The sub-topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
- AI and Organizational Performance
