Pedro Seguel is an Assistant Professor at the Ted Rogers School of Information Technology Management at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). His research focuses on how technological advancements, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital platforms, reshape skills, occupations, and organizational capabilities. He examines how digital innovations impact labor market dynamics, skills evolution, and collaboration, highlighting implications for retraining and upskilling practices within the IT workforce. Pedro also explores the moral narratives of AI developers and addresses ethical issues such as fairness, accountability, bias, and transparency. His work extends to social inclusion, focusing on immigrant-serving organizations and leveraging computational social science techniques to analyze archival and user-generated data to inform policy. Integrating insights from the Management of Information Systems, Information Science, and Sociology disciplines, Pedro’s interdisciplinary approach aims to promote digital equity, leveraging technology to benefit public service provision and underrepresented groups.

Anchored in empirical research, the panel brings together scholars studying the modernization of immigration institutions, migrants’ use of digital media in planning migration, and the dynamics of digitally mediated labor markets (from platform-based gig work to social media-enabled job searches). Building on foundational IS concerns with sociotechnical systems, information infrastructures, and information-seeking behaviors, the panel highlights how Information Systems are entangled with state operations, labor markets, and everyday migrant decision-making. It examines how platforms and algorithmic systems deliver services that produce new visibility, precarity, and control forms. This interdisciplinary panel invites IS scholars to consider migration as a rich domain for exploring information behavior under uncertainty, digital governance, and equity-oriented system design. It ultimately aims to identify new directions for Information Systems research at the intersection of migration, technology, and institutional transformation.TRS4 2.1.2 Toronto Metropolitan University, Concordia University | Activity | 2025-08-14 | Seguel, P., Paquet, M., Niraula, A., Coderre, M., Baril, É., Monteiro, S. |
