AI is having a significant impact on how society functions and how it understands its future. Here are some examples as to how this is happening:

• Understanding the environment including the issues related to climate change.
• Moving from GenAI that chats, to GenAI that does.
• Safety, government regulation and internal governance.
• AI ethics and fraud.
• The effectiveness of scientific research.
• Health.
• National defence.
• Education from cradle to grave.
• Productivity improvements especially in the white-collar environment.
• Professional performers, scriptwriters, and other support roles.
• Social interaction.
• Criminal justice policy and practice.
• Local, national, and international travel.
• And many other aspects of society.

We welcome contributions on these or other relevant topics. We also welcome AI case studies from different settings, e.g., academia, business, project management, digital marketing, design, etc. The closing date for abstract submissions is 1 April and we will complete the selection by 21 April 2025.
