About the Journal
These are the proceedings and Book of Abstracts from the Controversies of AI Society conference, organised by the research projects Algorithms, Data & Democracy and Strategizing Communication and Artificial Intelligence (SCAI). The conference takes place at Copenhagen Business School on 9-10 April 2026.
The event addresses the accelerated implementation of algorithmic technologies, now broadly referred to as artificial intelligence (AI), across all dimensions of society, and the need to consider how technological and societal developments shape each other.
It examines questions such as: What social formations do AI systems invite? How do emerging uses of AI inform developments across public, private, and third sectors? What social changes arise from new technologies, and how are social dynamics embedded within their infrastructures? How do business models, consumption patterns, legal frameworks, political agendas, and material conditions– from venture capital and computing power to data centers – shape technological developments and possible alternatives?
These proceedings and abstracts gather contributions presented at this interdisciplinary scholarly event on the controversies of AI society.
