About

Yenni Tim is a leading scholar in the Information Systems (IS) discipline, whose research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge management, and the future of work. Her work critically examines how AI technologies—such as robotic process automation (RPA)—are reshaping knowledge work, particularly in public sector organizations. In her highly cited study on the Finland Government, Tim explores the "knowledge embodiment" of human and machine interactions, revealing the complex dynamics that arise when AI algorithms challenge traditional human roles in knowledge-intensive tasks. This work has garnered 18 citations and is foundational for understanding how organizations can manage the delicate balance between human expertise and automated processes. Tim also champions the importance of the practitioner perspective in IS research, arguing in a 2023 paper (7 citations) that the field must not lose sight of real-world relevance. Her contributions are vital for students and researchers seeking to navigate the socio-technical challenges of AI adoption, ensuring that technology serves human knowledge work rather than displacing it.
