Please see our call for papers for the Responsible AI Governance for Connected Intelligence minitrack at HICSS next January. Submissions are due June 15. Selected papers from this mini-track will be invited to submit revised manuscripts for fast-track consideration in *Internet Research*. Aloha, Jenifer ---- CFP – Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-57) *Mini-track*: Responsible AI Governance for Connected Intelligence *Track*: Collaboration Systems and Technology *Location:* Hyatt Regency Maui, Hawaii *Conference Dates*: January 6–9, 2026 As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in connected digital ecosystems, responsible governance is essential to ensure accountability, ethical oversight, and societal alignment. AI-enabled systems facilitate decision-making, automate processes, and augment human capabilities across various sectors, leading to governance challenges in algorithmic accountability, data stewardship, and regulatory adaptation. This mini-track focuses on AI governance rather than broad AI ethics or human-AI collaboration. We seek research on institutional structures, operational mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks guiding AI governance across industries and jurisdictions. Key areas of interest include compliance strategies, policy enforcement, risk management, and AI impact assessments in interconnected digital environments. *Topics of Interest* We welcome theoretical, empirical, and applied research on topics including but not limited to: -- AI governance principles and frameworks -- AI regulatory policy and compliance -- AI impact assessment and risk management -- Corporate and institutional AI governance -- Data governance and privacy -- Human oversight and control -- Algorithmic accountability -- AI auditing and accountability -- Cross-sector AI governance challenges -- Multi-stakeholder AI governance models -- Cross-jurisdictional and distributed AI governance -- AI governance in decision-making processes -- Standards and best practices for responsible AI governance *Important Dates* -- April 15, 2025 – Paper submission begins -- June 15, 2025 – Paper submission deadline -- August 17, 2025 – Notification of acceptance/rejection -- September 22, 2025 – Final manuscript deadline -- October 1, 2025 – Deadline for at least one author to register For submission guidelines, please visit: http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors/ ***Fast Track to Journal Publication*** (at the discretion of mini-track chairs): Selected papers from this mini-track will be invited to submit revised manuscripts for fast-track consideration in Internet Research. – https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/intr *Mini-track Co-Chairs* -- Bo Xiao, Shidler College of Business, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, boxiao@hawaii.edu -- Kaveh Abhari, Fowler College of Business, San Diego State University, kbhari@sdsu.edu -- Jenifer Sunrise Winter, School of Communication and Information, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, jwinter@hawaii.edu -- Chee-Wee Tan, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, chee-wee.tan@polyu.edu.hk Jenifer Sunrise Winter, Ph.D. Professor, Communication Program, School of Communication and Information University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa 2550 Campus Road, Crawford Hall 325, Honolulu, HI 96822
