The thematic R&D group on Digitalisation and Datafication explores the transformative impact of digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and data on society, business, and governance. Our research examines how digitalisation reshapes processes, interactions, and decision-making across various sectors. Additionally, we study the trend of datafication, which involves turning many aspects of our lives into data that is subsequently transformed into valuable information. We also research critically the implications of AI, data collection and analysis, including their ethical considerations. By investigating emerging trends such as big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, we aim to understand and address the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. Our work contributes to developing strategies for leveraging digital technologies and data to drive innovation, efficiency, and informed decision-making in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
