Pedro Seguel is Assistant Professor at the Ted Rogers School of Information Technology Management at Toronto Metropolitan University. 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.
