Dwivedi, Y. K., et al. (2023). “So what if ChatGPT wrote it?” Multidisciplinary perspectives on opportunities, challenges and implications of generative conversational AI. International Journal of Information Management, 71, 102642.
Seventy-three authors across disciplines contend that generative AI’s impact cannot be understood from any single field’s vantage point, and set a multidisciplinary research and policy agenda spanning education, business, law, and ethics.
The paper legitimized cross-faculty AI task forces over single-department initiatives — AI governance became an institutional problem, not an IT problem.
