The Landscape of Generative AI in Information Systems: A Synthesis of Secondary Reviews and Research Agendas

The paper reviews secondary studies and research agendas on generative AI (GenAI) in information systems, synthesizing evidence from 28 selected papers. It identifies GenAI’s transformative benefits—productivity, innovation, personalization, and democratized expertise—while highlighting challenges such as technical unreliability, ethical risks, and governance gaps. The authors propose a research agenda that shifts IS scholarship toward shaping the co‑evolution of AI capabilities with organizational routines, societal values, and regulatory institutions, emphasizing hybrid human‑AI ensembles, situated validation, design principles for probabilistic systems, and adaptive governance.

LAAF: A Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for LLM Applications

The paper presents LAAF, a Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for Large Language Model (LLM) applications, developed through a systematic review of 122 primary studies and 12 regulatory documents. It identifies five dimensions of accountability and four families of mechanisms—technical controls, human oversight, organisational governance, and documentation/traceability—each assessed for maturity. The framework is mapped onto major regulatory standards (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001) and highlights persistent gaps such as under‑specified human oversight and lack of shared accountability metrics.

Toward a New Science of AI as Cognitive Infrastructure

The paper proposes a new interdisciplinary field called Cognitive Infrastructure Studies (CIS) to examine how AI systems act as invisible, foundational cognitive infrastructures that shape what people can know and do in digital societies. It argues that these infrastructures, through anticipatory personalization and adaptive invisibility, automate relevance judgments and shift epistemic agency to non‑human systems. CIS offers methodological tools, such as infrastructure breakdown experiments, to uncover the hidden cognitive dependencies created by AI preprocessing across individual, collective, and societal levels.

LAAF: A Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for LLM Applications

The paper introduces LAAF, a Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for Large Language Model (LLM) applications, developed through a systematic review of 122 primary studies and 12 regulatory documents. It identifies five accountability dimensions and four families of mechanisms—technical controls, human oversight, organisational governance, and documentation/traceability—evaluated across maturity levels. The framework maps onto major standards such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and sectoral guidance, highlighting gaps in human oversight, accountability metrics, disciplinary alignment, and empirical validation.

From Chasing Ghosts to Missed Attacks: Perspectives and Perceptions of SOC Practitioners on LLM Integration, Risks, and Readiness

The paper investigates how Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts perceive the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into their workflows. Through 25 interviews and interactive scenarios, the authors identify 15 LLM use cases across six functional categories, noting that while LLMs are useful for automating repetitive tasks, they are not yet suitable for high‑impact incident analysis due to limitations in technical depth, context awareness, and organization‑specific knowledge. Despite these concerns, practitioners show a strong willingness to adopt LLMs, driven by competitive pressure and a desire for operational efficiency.
