| 1. | The Impact of AI on the Traditional Concept of Information Systems | Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way Information Systems (IS) work, moving them beyond traditional, rule-based structures to more intelligent and self-learning systems. AI allows IS to analyze data, recognize patterns, and even make decisions without human intervention. This transformation improves efficiency, automation, and real-time decision-making, but it also raises concerns about transparency, fairness, and human control. As AI becomes more integrated into IS, businesses and organizations must find ways to balance automation with ethical considerations. Future research should focus on making AI-powered IS more explainable, trustworthy, and aligned with human values. Understanding these changes will be crucial for ensuring that AI-driven IS remain useful, responsible, and beneficial in fields such as healthcare, finance, and business management. |
