Bio

I am a Professor of Computer Information Systems at Bentley University where I currently teach grad courses on business analytics; PhD classes on information systems theories and qualitative methods.

My research focuses on social justice and the role played by technologies. I am interested in the ethical implications stemming from technologies such as artificial intelligence, the metaverse etc., in organizations and society and the reasons behind institutional inertia in addressing potential misuses of algorithms. I am currently studying the role of AI-based automated systems in large organizations and negative effects for underrepresented populations. I am currently co-writing a book on the effect of generative AI to the environment. A recent related publication on the topic is available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0963868725000368. I am also interested in the future deployment of the metaverse, the platform’s privacy implications and its potential to exacerbate surveillance and discriminatory practices. I recently published a special issue on the topic, available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/the-journal-of-strategic-information-systems/vol/34/issue/4.

My most recent book on the role of classification systems in AI/ML contexts, and they DEI implications, published in 2024, is available here (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-53919-0)

Current projects (not inclusive list):

-       AI and the environment (forthcoming book, 2026)

-       Role of generative AI in academic research (I am not supporting the use of generative AI to perform tasks that go beyond copyediting)

-       Decision-making processes aided by generative AI in organizations (implementation, privacy issues, deskilling issues)

 

I am currently accepting supervision of new PhD students
