About AIS Insights

Questions that matter.
Answers that hold.

AIS Insights is an initiative of the Association for Information Systems. It turns academic research into clear insights for professionals, in 12 languages: Arabic, English, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish.

“Practice benefits from science in sharpening understanding and supporting better decision-making.”

“Science, in turn, has both a responsibility and an opportunity to address real-world challenges.”

Three ways to take in research

  • Read

    Textual Insights

    A key question, the key findings and what they mean for your role.

  • Listen

    Podcast Insights

    Five-minute audio episodes for the way to work.

  • See

    Graphical Insights

    The core idea of a paper in one visual.

How an insight is made

Insights are made by people and AI together: AI drafts, the authors correct and approve, our editors oversee.

  1. AI drafts

    Open-source models draft the summary and the episode script. Google Gemini records the audio, draws the visual and writes the recommendations for each role from our summaries.

  2. Authors review

    The paper’s authors check what is said about their work and tell us what to correct. We redraft it, and they approve it.

  3. Editors oversee

    AIS Insights editors answer authors’ requests and see each insight through to publication. Nothing goes live without its authors’ approval.

Responsible use of AI

  • Each insight is an original synthesis, not a reproduction, and links to the paper it comes from.
  • Papers are read and summarised by open-source models on University of Münster infrastructure, under AIS oversight. Google Gemini records the audio, draws the illustrations, writes the recommendations for each role from our summaries, applies authors’ corrections to our summaries and powers Ask AIS Insights, which reads our summaries and, for some papers, their full text.
  • This follows the AIS Statement on the Use of AI in Research.
  • Readers can report errors at any time: report an error.

A free pilot

AIS Insights is free during its pilot phase. The pilot tests whether the service should become permanent.
