Human Subjectivity in Information Practice and <scp>AI</scp> Governance

ABSTRACT The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) introduces a notable tension in the realm of traditional, human‐centric information practices, where human subjectivity has been pivotal in both influencing and being influenced by our interactions with information. An excessive reliance on AI distances humans from practices, potentially diminishing human subjectivity. Additionally, as AI takes on roles once exclusively human, it might constrict opportunities for personal growth and the cultivation of unique insights. Moreover, this technological dependency could dilute the richness of direct human interactions, weakening the fabric of social bonds. These issues—increased AI dependence, AI's encroachment on human roles, and the degradation of social ties—underscore the urgent necessity to revisit our interaction with technology, ensuring it serves to enrich rather than undermine the human experience. In light of this, our panel gathers experts to explore strategies for preserving human subjectivity through cognitive autonomy, creative agency, and social connectivity in the age of AI‐driven information practices. Our dialogue also aims to develop a comprehensive AI governance framework, scrutinized from an interdisciplinary perspective, continually refined in collaboration with academic communities, such as ASIS&amp;T, to solidify and enhance our approaches.
