Item Can we Expect AI to be Wise? — A Wisdom, Knowledge (Management), Resonance, and Cognitive Science Perspective(2025-01-07) Peschl, Markus; Wageneder, Ernst; Kaiser, Alexander; Kerschbaum, ClemensThis paper investigates whether AI can possess wisdom, a complex and deeply human capacity. We adopt an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on philosophy, 4E cognition, Material Engagement Theory, and engaged epistemology, to argue that wisdom is a dynamic force unfolding through meaningful life experiences and resonant interactions with the world. Central to our discussion is Rosa's concept of resonance, essential for fostering personal growth, emotional empathy, as well as existential and bodily connectedness to the world and its unfolding into an uncertain future. Despite the advanced capabilities of AI/Large Language Models (LLMs), we demonstrate their inability to embody wisdom due to their lack of deep sense-making, embodied interaction, and meaningful engagement with the world and future potentials. We emphasize the need for cultivating human wisdom to ensure technological advancements enrich rather than diminish the human experience, advocating for a balanced and reflective human-technology relationship.Item ‘New’ Types of Knowledge in KM - Towards a Definition of Aesthetic Knowledge and Knowing(2025-01-07) Kerschbaum, ClemensThe ‘soft’ side of Knowledge Management (Serenko, 2021) is currently witnessing a trend towards new types of knowledge, often grouped under the category of non-rational knowledge. This paper aims to contribute to this discourse by exploring organizational aesthetics as a form of such non-rational knowledge. Drawing from existing literature on organizational aesthetics, the paper proposes definitions for aesthetic knowledge and aesthetic knowing to make the concept of aesthetics more accessible for the realm of KM. Findings show that one of the core elements of aesthetic knowing and knowledge is that they allow for creative agency. This implies that aesthetics enables the creation, comprehension and enactment of a desired organi-zational image – a capacity that is advocated to be crucial in dealing with todays complex and dynamic environments.Item Introduction to the Minitrack on Future of Knowledge Management: Visions, Opportunities, and Challenges(2025-01-07) Kragulj, Florian; Grisold, Thomas; Kaiser, Alexander
