In an increasingly digital world, technology is rapidly changing how we interact, communicate, and make decisions, shaping both consumer behavior and the global marketplace. However, the acceleration of technological advancements also raises critical concerns regarding equity, bias, and social responsibility. At this intersection lies the theme of our SCP Boutique Conference: how technology intersects with race, prejudice, and the responsible enterprise.
This conference seeks to bring together scholars and practitioners to explore pressing questions such as:
- How do consumers understand and navigate new technologies?
- How does consumer psychology shift in response to AI developments?
- How can enterprises leverage technological innovation while mitigating the risk of reinforcing systemic biases?
- What are the ethical considerations involved in the design and deployment of AI and automated systems in diverse consumer markets?
- How can organizations ensure that their technological advancements are inclusive and equitable, especially for marginalized consumers?
