Kind regards, Bernd -----Original Message----- From: Journal of Information Technology Sent: 13 October 2025 09:38 To: Bernd Stahl (staff) Cc: schlagwein at sydney.edu.au Subject: The Journal of Information Technology - Decision on Manuscript ID JIN-25-1031 13-Oct-2025 Dear Bernd and author team,: Thank you for your extended abstract submission (JIN-25-1031 entitled "Models of Responsibility for Digital Futures ? A Comparative Case Study"") for the JIT special issue on ?Futuring: a Novel Site of Inquiry and Imagination?. The number of submissions we received is reflective of the growing interest in engaging seriously with futures and in new ways of thinking about and with futures. The Editors of the Special Issue each selected abstracts and provided brief initial editorial comments (included below). Given the capabilities if the system, all abstracts were designated as ?Major Revisions? (there is no subtle meaning here). The purpose of these comments is to provide an ?editorial sense? of the fit of your research with what we hope to achieve in the Special Issue. These comments are not in any way final decisions but should be considered as useful advice as you refine your ideas and complete your paper for submission on Feb 15, 2026. There is no need to provide a response document to these comments. At that time, we will send suitable submissions out for review. The SI is seeking methodological and conceptual views of future(s) that inspire new thinking for IS and management scholars. Specifically, we hope to see a focus beyond technology itself and instead with the manner in which technologies, taken broadly, are involved in social, economic, environmental and/or political conditions for those humans and more-than human who inhabit the planet. We are also open to submissions articulating established future-studies methods provided they illustrate how scholars can better consider what has not yet happened when studying the normalization of what we currently categorize as emerging digital technologies Although there is a broad literature distributed across many discipline, we are not expecting comprehensive reviews of all literature and would prefer to see the author(s) ideas in relation to a narrower set of truly relevant prior research. [NOTE: de Vaujany et al. (2025 - MISQ) Rethinking Responsibility in the Digital Age: A Narrative Approach] We are currently planning a workshop at ICIS 2026 for the SI. This will be held in hybrid mode and is optional. Once we have the details are worked out, we will send these directly to you. Thank you again for submitting your abstract. We hope the comments provide some guidance beyond the CfP (https://callsforpapers.org/call/jit-futuring-digital-futures-as-a-novel-site-of-inquiry-and-imagination) that will help you add to the IS discipline?s ability to engage with and conceptualize future(s).

Sincerely, Professor Dirk Hovorka The Journal of Information Technology dirk.hovorka at sydney.edu.au Reviewer(s)' Comments to Author: Reviewer: 1 Comments to the Author Thank you very much for submitting your work on ?Models of Responsibility for Digital Futures ? A Comparative Case Study? to JIT?s special issue on Futuring: ?Digital? Futures as a Novel Site of Inquiry and Imagination. As guest editors, we have carefully reviewed all the extended abstracts submitted for early screening carefully and were delighted to read about the many future-oriented works in information systems research and beyond. We have read your proposal with great interest and are in agreement that engaging with different models of digital responsibility can be considered as quite crucial for our engagement with digital futures. We also share a great appreciation for ethical and social considerations that our overall digitalization efforts are based on and believe that work such as your can be of great value in informing our stakeholders. Working through your proposal, however, leads us to observe that futures per se remain relatively implicit. While they can be seen as the object that actors you study ought to take responsibility for, your study itself does not engage in any futuring or with any of the futures. Consequently, the present version of the proposed contribution leaves us a bit uncertain in terms of fit. Our thoughts when engaging with your writing lead us to suggest one possible way forward though. We assume that your study of the research projects at the heart of your comparative cases will, to some degree, engage with futures. Could their futuring and the futures they envision be made a core part of your thinking and writing? While it is difficult to anticipate based on your proposal at this stage, we imagine that your engagement with the research projects as part of your case studies would allow you to study how futures are being constructed in the team, how these are used to develop an understanding of responsibility (which may correspond with one of your models), and how that responsibility is subsequently dealt with and what the implications of this is. In the absence of such a focusing, we fear that the core of the study may turn out to be a rather orthodox empirical study of a present phenomenon (different models of responsibility employed by the research teams) in the here and now, even if the content of the models is per se oriented toward the future. Hoping that these comments can provide a bit of clarification on what the CfP is looking for and how your work can be seen to resonate with this, we?d be happy to explore this issue further with you at the workshop. We will, however, keep a critical eye on fit the special issue?s core purpose.

AI and the Future of Universities.pdf Thanks Paul Paul Couchman Director of Technology Digital and Technology Services University of Nottingham ________________________________ ? ?Right here, right now?: New report on how AI is transforming higher education Embargo: 00.01am Thursday, 16 October 2025 A new collection of essays, AI and the Future of Universities (HEPI Report 193) edited by Dr Giles Carden and Josh Freeman, brings together leading voices from universities, industry and policy. The collection comes at a point when Artificial Intelligence (AI) is projected to have a profound and transformative impact on virtually every sector of society and the economy, driving changes that are both beneficial and challenging. The various pieces look at how AI is reshaping higher education ? from strategy, teaching and assessment to research and professional services. The nine human contributors include: * Dr Vinton G Cerf, Vice-President and Chief Internet Evangelist at Google; * Professor Dame Wendy Hall FRS, Director of the Web Science Institute at the University of Southampton; and * Professor Rose Luckin, Professor of Learner Centred Design at the UCL Knowledge Lab. The collection, which has been kindly supported by the University of Southampton, includes a chapter on ?Artificial intelligence and the future of research? written by OpenAI?s ChatGPT using a carefully created prompt. Readers are asked to compare this piece to the human-written essays and to form their own opinions on its strengths and weaknesses. The Foreword by Wendy Hall and Giles Carden states: ?The chapters are not just a collection of essays on AI but a call to action. They frame the AI revolution not as a threat to be mitigated but as an opportunity to rethink the purpose and practice of higher education fundamentally. By drawing out the key themes, contrasting perspectives and areas of convergence and divergence, the collection aims to stimulate critical dialogue, encourage innovative practice and, ultimately, empower institutions to navigate this transformative era with foresight and purpose, ensuring AI elevates, rather than diminishes, the pursuit of knowledge and intelligence.? Key findings * AI Literacy: Universities should embed AI literacy for staff and students, focusing on knowledge, ethics, transparency and continuous learning. * Technology: Choice of technology is crucial and universities need a strategy and roadmap to ensure a joined-up approach to AI implementation. The economics of AI capabilities will need to be carefully evaluated to ensure value for money. * Assessment: Generative AI challenges traditional exams and essays, requiring a shift toward evaluating creativity and critical thinking. * The workforce: Institutions need to assess AI skills, embed them in professional development and nurture AI?s pedagogical leaders. * Strategic advantage: AI can revolutionise strategy and operations though real-time insights, predictive modelling and efficiency gains. * Human intelligence: Rather than replacing human cognition, AI could enhance it. * Research: AI accelerates literature reviews, data analysis and interdisciplinary work alongside raising questions about ethics, bias and authorship. Dr Giles Carden, Chief Strategy Officer at the University of Southampton, who has edited the collection, co-written the Foreword and contributed a chapter, said. ?AI is not a distant prospect ? it?s already a ubiquitous part of our lives. So these essays arrive at a pivotal moment. The report is a call to action for universities to embrace change, transform professional services, rethink educational models and prepare graduates for an AI-driven world of work, ensuring AI serves to improve, not diminish, the human pursuit of knowledge.? Nick Hillman OBE, Director of the Higher Education Policy Institute, said: ?Every day, at least one person asks me what AI means for higher education. No one can answer that question with complete certainty just yet. But this collection of pieces by leading thinkers lights the way ahead. ?It shows where AI is already making a difference and outlines AI?s future potential while, crucially, not diminishing the challenges it poses.? Notes for Editors HEPI was founded in 2002 to influence the higher education debate with evidence. HEPI is UK-wide, independent and non-partisan. HEPI is funded by organisations and higher education institutions that wish to support vibrant policy discussions, as well as through events.
