AIS Insights is an initiative by the Association for Information Systems to project insights from academic research to practice. AIS Insights builds on academic research articles by applying AI to extract relevant information from these articles geared towards a practice audience.
We believe in the value of engagement between research and practice. Practice benefits from science in sharpening understanding and supporting better decision-making—especially as decisions become more complex in today’s fast-moving, digital world. Science, in turn, has both a responsibility and an opportunity to address real-world challenges, generating a wealth of insights that must be made more readily available for practical application and informed decision-making.
To this end, we bring rigorous scientific research to life as clear, accessible insights for audiences around the world. AIS Insights breaks down barriers between research and practice—and across languages and regions.
AIS Insights creates different types of outputs:
AIS Insights delivers insights in multiple languages. Current languages include Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, and Spanish.
AIS Insights uses resources provided by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) at the University of Münster.
We utilize the University of Münster's on-premise private cloud and local high-performance computing cluster. In this environment, we use a software stack based on open-source large language and audio generation models.
The AI engine is developed by a team of researchers passionate about AI solutions for knowledge management, Living Knowledge.
AIS Insights provides AI-generated executive insights derived from academic research articles.
The insights published on AIS Insights constitute original, independently created works. They are not reproductions, summaries, or substitutes for the original articles. Instead, they reflect newly generated analysis, interpretation, and contextualization that may highlight selected themes, synthesize ideas, or introduce additional perspectives beyond the source material.
AIS Insights started on articles licensed by AIS and may be supplemented with insights based on other sources. Authors may also propose their own articles for inclusion, provided they hold the necessary rights. All articles the insights are derived from are clearly referenced.
The AI-generated insights are produced in distinct language and structure and do not replicate the original text. AIS Insights does not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or interpretive judgments expressed in the generated insights, which are provided for informational purposes only.
The AIS Insights editorial team oversees the platform. Authors or readers who identify potential inaccuracies, misrepresentations, or concerns are encouraged to contact the editorial team, which will review the matter and take appropriate action where necessary.
