Karl Werder is an associate professor in the Section Digital Business Innovation of the IT University of Copenhagen, DK. Karl investigates the resolution of inherent trade-offs of digital innovation, that is, the success of digital innovation depends on navigating interlocking tensions. For example, the very qualities that make digital technologies—especially AI—innovative (e.g., complexity and agency) are the same qualities that can undermine their use and trustworthiness. His work has been published or is forthcoming in leading journals from information systems (e.g., Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Journal of Strategic Information Systems), software engineering (e.g., IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Communications of the ACM, Information & Software Technology), and management (e.g., California Management Review), among others.
