Specifically, the aim of this conference is to deepen and broaden the current understanding of the use of all these new technologies to offer all kind of products and a wide variety of services (e.g., tourism, hospitality, marketing, banking, education, health, etc.) by focusing on their effects on value creation, relationship outcomes (e.g., satisfaction, loyalty, engagement, profitability), customer perceptions (e.g. trust) and concerns (e.g. privacy, security, etc.), ethical issues and other related aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please, note that <strong>AIRSI2024 will only be held face-to-face in Zaragoza (SPAIN) 10th-12th June<\/strong>. It will not be held online as we will focus all our attention on the participants who physically accompany us. The first edition was face-to-face and the following five editions were held virtually and in the AIRSI Metaverse. Over the years, a large community has grown up around AIRSI and it is important to get to know each other personally. Therefore, we encourage you to participate in person in the <strong>ARISI2024 Physical Edition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics of interest for the Conference include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A<\/strong>rtificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>I<\/strong>mmersive Technologies: Virtual reality, Augmented reality, Metaverse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>R<\/strong>obots, Avatars, Chatbots, Virtual Assistants, Smart speakers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>S<\/strong>ocial media, Virtual influencers, Omnichannel strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>I<\/strong>nternet of Things, Big Data, Blockchain, NFTs, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Possible contributions<\/strong><br \/>Interested authors are invited to submit papers related to any of the aforementioned areas.
