AI Integration Methodology: Does One Size Fit All?

The rapid evolution of Generative AI is reshaping the Information Systems (IS) landscape, transforming how organizations retrieve knowledge, support decision-making, and co-create value. Yet for many educators and practitioners, a clear, actionable methodology for integrating this powerful technology into enterprise or academic environments remains elusive. This Professional Development Symposium introduces and discusses a structured, human-centered approach to AI deployment that emphasizes mutual trust and coordinated action in complex, dynamic contexts. This session will appeal to a broad AMCIS audience, including researchers, educators, and practitioners engaged in digital transformation, IS curriculum development, AI ethics, and socio-technical systems. It is particularly relevant to multiple SIGs, such as SIGOSRA, SIGED, SIGAI, and SIGGreen, and seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on how best to prepare both learners and organizations for the AI era. Through a combination of conceptual framing, real-world case studies, and interactive activities, participants will explore the flexibility and relevance of this methodology across diverse educational and organizational settings. By encouraging an open exchange of experiences and perspectives, this PDS aims to deliver immediate pedagogical value and cultivate long-term collaboration. The session culminates in a critical conversation on the provocative question: Does one size fit all in AI integration?
