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.

While digital systems increasingly organize citizens’ lives, their role in shaping migrants’ experiences is less visible, especially for those navigating unfamiliar institutions and limited legal status. Drawing on empirical research, this panel examines tensions in how digital infrastructures affect migrant-state relations and platform-mediated labor markets. Panelists address topics such as the modernization of immigration institutions, social media use in migration planning, digital labor recruitment across the Americas, and algorithmic control in gig work. In dialogue with core IS concerns—sociotechnical systems, platform governance, and information-seeking behavior—the panel situates digital migration systems within broader political, structural, and ethical contexts. This interdisciplinary session fosters debate on tensions between technological innovation and equity. By tackling these issues, the panel invites IS scholars to see migration as a vital context for rethinking inclusion, infrastructure, and institutional transformation.TRS4 2.1.2 Toronto Metropolitan University, Concordia University Activity 2025-08-14 Seguel, P. ,
