We welcome proposals that examine innovative practices, emerging research, and critical perspectives related to artificial intelligence and its influence across disciplines and sectors.
Submissions should reflect thoughtful engagement with the summit theme, Bridging AI Innovation: Ethics, Education, and Empowerment, and contribute to meaningful dialogue around the responsible advancement of AI.
Submission Categories
1. Workshop Presentations
Interactive or lecture-style sessions (45 minutes) that explore research findings, applied projects, ethical implications, instructional strategies, or case studies related to artificial intelligence.
2. Oral Presentations
Focused scholarly presentations (15–20 minutes) highlighting research studies, theoretical frameworks, or applied work related to artificial intelligence. Oral presentations may be grouped thematically into moderated sessions.
