"What becomes possible when humans and machines build things together?"
About
Background
Aron Lindberg is an Associate Professor of Information Systems and Chair of the Information Systems & Analytics area at the School of Business, Stevens Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management and holds a guest professorship at Umeå University in Sweden.
Most organizations treat AI as a productivity tool. Aron's research starts from a different starting point: what humans and machines can build together that neither could build alone. His work examines how people and organizations can collaborate with AI to design, create, and innovate in ways that are more generative, more human, and more useful for the world.
His work appears in MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, and Organization Science. He serves as Associate Editor at MIS Quarterly and Senior Editor at the European Journal of Information Systems.
