As the 2024 AOM All-Conference Theme highlights, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming organizational operations and management practice, while public policy and AI governance are still emergent. This plenary brings together a panel of scholars whose research aims to understand and critically examine the use and impact of AI and to inform policy and practice in this rapidly evolving space. This plenary seeks to engage PNP members and the broader AOM membership in informed and critical dialogue about the deployment and governance of AI.
