Dr. Antoine Harfouche is an Associate Professor of Information Systems (IS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at University Paris Nanterre where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in various areas, including IS, AI, Big Data, and Quantitative Methods. Dr. Harfouche has contributed to the IS & AI community through his excellent teaching, cutting-edge research, and outstanding service. He was awarded the AIS Sandra Slaughter Outstanding Service Award in 2020. Dr. Harfouche completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Management Information Systems at Paris Dauphine University FR) / PhD done in collaboration with Georgia State University. Dr. Harfouche’s research primarily examines how IS and AI impact individuals, organizations, countries, and societies in general. He is an expert and a researcher in Ethical and Responsible AI and in Augmented Intelligence. He codeveloped the concept of Human-Centric Interpretable Informed Artificial Intelligence (HIAI). His publications appeared in peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Information Systems Frontiers, International Journal of Information Management, International Journal of Production Research, Industrial Management & Data Systems, the Annals of Operation Research, Trends in Plant Science, Trends in Biotechnology, Information Technology and People, Journal of Global Information Management, Journal of Organizational and End User Computing, Informatics, Recherche et Applications en Marketing, Lecture Notes in Information Systems and Organization) and renowned conference proceedings (e.g., ICIS, PACIS, AMCIS, ICTO, MCIS, MENACIS, AIM, LCIS). Antoine is Senior Editor of the Journal Information Technology and People and the Journal of Decision Systems. He is also Guest Editor at the Information Systems Frontiers, Communication of the AIS, and the journal of Asia Business Studies. He is and also a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Enterprise Information Management, member of the International Editorial Review Board of the International Journal of Information Management. Throughout his career, Dr. Harfouche has obtained a considerable amount of funding - above 2 million dollars - from the French Research Council (ANR) and the European ERANSMUS+. In the ANR SCHOPPER project (ANR-DS0701/2016), he codesigned a new AI framework called human-in-the-loop Informed AI, in which human input is considered as an inextricable part of AI applications. In the ERASMUS+ project VRAILEXIA, Dr. Harfouche has co-designed a strategic partnership project called “Partnership outside of the box: integrating artificial intelligence tools with Virtual reality to support higher education students with dyslexia.” This innovative project was given a score of 98 out of 100 by the ERASMUS+ agency, thus achieved first place in 2020.
