About
Peter Kawalek’s research sits at the critical intersection of information systems, organizational change, and the societal implications of artificial intelligence. His work explores the profound tensions between human autonomy and the rise of intelligent machines, asking fundamental questions about what it means to be human in an age of algorithmic control. His most cited paper, “What is it about humanity that we can’t give away to intelligent machines? A European perspective” (2021, 57 citations), offers a compelling European lens on the growing conflict between human freedoms and machine-driven systems. Beyond this, Kawalek has made significant contributions to understanding how digital technologies reshape public sector organizations, strategic management, and regional development. His research is notable for its philosophical depth and practical relevance, challenging both scholars and practitioners to consider the ethical boundaries of technological adoption. With a career spanning decades, Kawalek’s work continues to influence debates on digital transformation, governance, and the future of work. For students and researchers, his scholarship serves as a vital reminder that technology is never neutral—it reflects and amplifies the values of its creators.
