About
Aqib Siddiqui is an LSE Fellow in Information Systems and Innovation in the Department of Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
He holds a PhD in Management of Information Systems from IE Business School (Madrid, Spain). His research uses machine learning and computational methods to address Information Systems challenges across three areas. His doctoral work focuses on understanding digital maturity in children, where he has developed a scale to assess digital competency levels across age groups, applying machine learning and explainable AI to ensure transparency and interpretability. His work also extends into data governance, where he examines how values and stakeholder interests shape policy formation, using the EU Data Act as a primary case. More recently, he has begun investigating the application of agentic AI and large language models as computational methods for IS research, including their responsible use in qualitative research, work which is supported by a grant from the UK Academy of Information Systems (UKAIS).
At LSE, Aqib teaches across the MSc Management of Information and Digital Innovation programme and contributes to executive education through the LSE Career Accelerator in AI Leadership. He serves as an Associate Editor for ICIS 2026 & ECIS 2026 and co-organiser of its Computationally-Intensive Theory Construction workshop. His research has been presented at leading venues including ECIS, AMCIS, and INFORMS, and his work on children's digital maturity has been featured in The Conversation.
Aqib is a member of the Information Systems and Innovation Faculty Research Group.
