No full textOral Presentation.Oral presentation
Many governmental actors are currently enthusiastic about the potential application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven systems as necessary social changes to transform, modernise, and make more efficient a range of public services, including social work services. This kind of sociotechnical
imaginary is not new. It is simply the latest wave, layered on top of previous enthusiasms for earlier technological artifacts. From the 1970s, the possible role of computer automation in social work services began to be imagined. By the 1980s, microcomputers began appearing inside social service agencies as
humble case recording and information management systems until the Internet arrived to unleash email, the web and social media. Today, social service agencies worldwide are experimenting with algorithms,
machine learning and AI to predict risk, target resources, surveil users and detect fraud. With the recent emergence of Generative AI – such as ChatGPT – interest in AI has accelerated, and governmental actors seem intent on harnessing it to enhance health outcomes, improve education and even tackle poverty. And yet, at the same time, research evidence is mounting that AI and data-driven systems are causing immense social harm to historically marginalised social groups. Drawing on a review of the literature this
presentation will discuss the rise, not of the robots, but of the resistance to the uncritical application of AI. It will explain the concept of data justice, data activism and the rise of the data justice movement in its many forms, from academic research units to civil society organisations to grassroots community

Role of organisational sensemaking in the emergence of a hybrid logic: The case of the National Gallery in London.
No full textThis study explores how a micro-level mechanism leads to change in institutional logic by examining the role of sensemaking in emergence of a hybrid logic. Examining the mechanisms that lead to logic emergence is important to improve our understanding of why and how organisations become hybrids. Through a case study analysis, this study illustrates how a top-down process of organisational sensemaking resulted in emergence of a hybrid logic which provides multiple organising principles that are combined in novel ways. The findings reveal dominant logic wasn’t changed but a new logic is combined to assist in coping with the demands from the institutional environment and survive.Institutional pressures represent multiple circumstances that organisational actors identify, assign meaning by interpretation, and take action by configuring activities of multiple logics. The emerged hybridity is a resort by which it is intended to cope with institutional pressures but not optimal for competitiveness and sustainability
