2025 Academy of Management Meeting in Copenhagen

Jorge Walter

This year’s Academy of Management Annual Meeting took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. Markus Kreutzer and I presented our recent work on “Control-trust dynamics in the context of agentic algorithms” as part of and Chris Long and Simon Schafheitle’s insightful symposium on “Control and Trust Dynamics in the Age of AI and Big Data.”

It was also the first time my daughter Sophia accompanied me to an academic conference, and we managed to take a walk down memory lane together in the city I spent my exchange semester more than two decades ago…
