The conference aims to bring together researchers and academicians from diverse disciplines to critically explore the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence on human creativity, research, education, society and business. It will analyse whether AI augments, reshapes, or replaces human creative and cognitive processes in research and innovation. It will discuss AI’s expanding role in hypothesis generation, scientific methodology, market analytics, and intellectual property, while addressing pressing risks such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and research plagiarism. The ultimate goal is to establish ethical frameworks and collaborative models that preserve human critical thinking, protect research integrity, and position AI as a strategic partner rather than a replacement for human creativity.

Conference Tracks

AI is no longer merely a technological subject—it is transforming the way we conduct research, create knowledge and understand the future of human creativity. The conference will focus on the following broad themes:
