Sustainable AI Ecosystems: Adapting to the Evolving Business Environment Purpose and Scope The Second International Conference, titled "Sustainable AI Ecosystems: Adapting to the Evolving Business Environment," is designed to serve as a pivotal forum for the exchange of ideas and research on the critical issues emerging at the intersection of AI, the Metaverse, and the business world.
Our aim is to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by these technologies, providing a pathway towards a future that is ethically sound, legally compliant, and technologically advanced. At the heart of the conference is an exploration of the ethical dimensions of AI and the Metaverse, focusing on transparency, fairness, bias, and societal impacts. These discussions will delve into the complexities of ethics and trust in AI deployment, highlighting their crucial role in sustainable technology integration. Additionally, the conference will address technological risks associated with AI and the Metaverse, such as system failures, security breaches, and privacy concerns.
A key focus will be on creating reliable, safe, and ethical technologies in these rapidly evolving domains. The evolving legal frameworks surrounding AI, including intellectual property rights, virtual real estate, digital assets, and avatar rights, represent a significant area of focus. The conference seeks to provide clarity on the legal and regulatory landscapes that are shaping the business applications of AI. Bridging theoretical and practical insights, the event will foster sustainable and responsible development in AI and the Metaverse, encouraging submissions that push the boundaries of current technologies and methodologies. Governance and policy development will also be central themes, as we examine their role in ensuring the ethical growth of AI and the Metaverse and in shaping the future of these technologies. Discussions will include the role of AI in promoting sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship, and the impact of AI on organizational structures, culture, and processes. Furthermore, the conference will explore the transformative role of AI in branding strategies and communication channels, underscoring the importance of adapting to new marketing paradigms. The convergence of AI with the Metaverse and its reshaping of business practices and models will also be a key area of discussion.
