CALLS FOR PAPERS

Electronic Markets

Special Issue on "Cyberspace Governance in the AI Era"

 

Submission deadline: January 30, 2025

 

THEME

Cyberspace has offered unprecedented opportunities for the advancement of electronic markets and digital platforms, ranging from cultivating networked business endeavors and facilitating efficient knowledge management to enhancing public and business services. However, cyberspace also presents numerous risks and threats, including cyberattacks, corporate data breaches, consumer privacy invasion, supply chain vulnerabilities, misinformation and online fraud, market manipulation, and other concerns (e.g., Arechar et al., 2023; Li et al., 2022; Li et al., 2023). Notably, these issues not only significantly disrupt the digital landscape but also give rise to substantial risks for society, organizations, and individuals, as underscored by the United Nations (2020).

 

Cyberspace governance has established a secure, ethical, and efficient environment for the healthy development of electronic markets. By providing a framework for responsible behavior, it enables businesses to thrive within a trustworthy, transparent, and accountable digital platform ecosystem, ensuring data and systems security, user privacy, and fair competition. Meanwhile, with supply chains increasingly reliant on digital technologies, robust cyberspace governance strategies enhance supply chain visibility, safety, and resilience. Recently, the rapid advancement of big data and large language models has sparked a new wave of artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, bringing forth both fresh opportunities and challenges for cyberspace governance (Berente et al., 2021; Cheng et al., 2022).

 

Therefore, it is of paramount significance to explore the complex role of AI (Alt, 2022) in cyberspace governance in order to establish fair, secure, and responsible electronic markets. In pursuit of this objective, this special issue seeks contributions from technological, organizational, societal, and/or political perspectives to address the fundamental questions how cyberspace governance in the era of AI may impact electronic markets and networked business in general. Given the interdisciplinary and multifaceted nature of these topics, author teams with diverse backgrounds and contributions that advance state-of-the-art knowledge through integrative analytical perspectives are particularly encouraged. Through reshaping the discourse on cyberspace governance, these contributions are expected to have a profound impact on governments, society, organizations, and individuals. Collectively, these endeavors can pave the way for a more responsible and effective approach to cyberspace governance in the AI era.
