Dark Sides and Criminal Uses of Digital and Intelligent Technologies 60th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) January 5–8, 2027, Hilton Waikoloa Village, Hawaii We invite submissions to the “Dark Sides and Criminal Uses of Digital and Intelligent Technologies” minitrack at the 60th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-60). Despite the many benefits of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, growing evidence highlights their potentially harmful consequences at individual, organizational, and societal levels. These include issues such as problematic technology use, cybercrime, misinformation, algorithmic bias, privacy violations, and other forms of technology-mediated deviant behavior. This minitrack aims to provide a forum for interdisciplinary research examining the negative consequences of AI and digital technologies, as well as strategies and interventions that can mitigate these harms. We welcome conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical papers from a wide range of disciplines and methodological traditions.
