The Wuhan International Conference on E-Business (WHICEB) is an AIS-affiliated conference that has been held successfully since the year 2000, serving as an annual academic conference for the improvement and development of global e-business study, academic exchange, and cooperation. In the coming year of 2022, we will be holding the 21st conference on the topic of ‘Digital Empowerment and Social Impact’. With the transition from internet times to AI times, technological improvement and business model innovation have reciprocal influence. Technological improvement can promote business innovation, and vice versa. The application of 5G technology has brought about new business prospects in the field of big data and AI applications. Digitalization and AI technology have inspired a new round of business innovation in manufacturing, business, education, and personal life. New technology, business, and rules will redefine the scenario of ‘internet plus’, reconfigure the business model from the bottom up. Welcome to the AI-enabled era! Facing the opportunities brought by AI, many enterprises have taken the initiative in product and business innovation in organization and management change. Meanwhile, guidance and support from the academic field are also needed. English will be the formal language at the conference. World-class scholars in the e-business field will be invited to give keynote speeches, workshops on different topics will be organized together with academic institutions located within China or abroad., Doctor consortium will be held at the conference, active youth scholars will be invited to give an individual speech at different sessions, not to mention other enriching activities. All accepted papers will be presented in the respective session. In view of the Covid-19 outbreak, WHICEB2021 will consider organizing academic exchange activities both online and offline.
