<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">This minitrack explores the interplay between information systems (IS) and evolving regulatory frameworks. Submissions may explore how organizations navigate and comply with regulations (e.g.,
in IS design), the relationship between innovation and regulation, but also the role of the IS discipline in influencing existing and emerging regulations. In this regard, regulatory frameworks (e.g., European AI Act, California Consumer Privacy Act, European
General Data Protection Regulation, Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act) or specific normative aims (e.g., privacy, fairness, transparency, or accountability) may be valuable for inquiry. This minitrack welcomes all conceptual, empirical, and theoretical
studies that examine this interdisciplinary topic. Possible relevant topics for this minitrack might include, but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
