AI native Enterprises 2021

Enterprises of the future will be complex system of systems of socio-cyber-physical actors, that operate in dynamic and uncertain environments. They will need to continue delivering on their goals in the face of unforeseen changes and events (such as global pandemics) along multiple dimensions. The goals they aim to meet are also likely to evolve rapidly as enterprises look to exploit opportunities as they emerge in their ever changing environment. This puts hitherto unseen demands on enterprises as regards responsive decision-making with partial information in the face of uncertainty and swift adaptation to support continuous transformation while optimizing stakeholder value. With emergence of a plethora of information technologies, such as (statistical) AI, IoT, Digital Twins, Low-Code, No-Code, etc, it is to be expected that future enterprises will be increasingly model-guided, AI-powered and data-fueled; giving birth to what we prefer to call AI-native enterprises.

The emergence of AI-native enterprises, however, also raises fundamental design challenges: How to ensure coherent design of such enterprises? How to balance change and stability? How to manage uncer-tainty? How remain (just enough) compliant to regulations? What about ethics and privacy? Furthermore, what is the future role of existing disciplines such as Enterprise Modelling, Enterprise Engineering & Architecting, Modelling & Simulation, Process Engineering, Knowledge Engineering, and AI towards the emergence of AI-native enterprises? How do fundamental concepts such as actor-network theory, multi-agent system theory, and control theory fit? Can novel technologies, such as Machine Learning, Adaptive Software, Digital Twins, and Reinforced Learning, further enable the emergence of AI-native enterprises?

The workshop aims to discuss these, and other relevant, issues across the entire gamut ranging over the state of art and practice, limitations and lacunae, possible means to overcome them, case studies illustrating the line of attack, and future work. As such, the goal of the AInE workshop is to bring together leading researchers across different relevant fields, in order to (1) explore the challenges facing the emergence of AI-native enterprises, and (2) exchange and discuss ideas, concepts, approaches that aim to meet these challenges.
