Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Inclusive and Sustainable Future

The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Driven Human-Centric Solutions and Sustainable Transformations is hosted at ABV Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management Gwalior, bringing together researchers, industry experts, and practitioners to explore the role of artificial intelligence in addressing critical societal and environmental challenges. The conference is supported by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, and has Quality Circle Forum of India (QCFI) as its industry partner. This collaboration underscores the significance of interdisciplinary engagement in leveraging AI for sustainable and human-centric advancements. This book of abstracts compiles the contributions of scholars whose work reflects the latest advancements in AI applications for sustainable development, ethical innovation, and human-centric technologies.

The central focus of the conference is embedded in its very name: human-centricity and sustainable transformations. The conference aims to look at the role of Industry 4.0-based digital technologies in shaping value chains and transforming production systems. The conference aspirations are to examine the impact of digital technologies and how these may be leveraged to enhance productivity, flexibility, and agility.

In recent times, industry 5.0 blends sustainability, circularity, and human-centricity and involves interconnected machines that not only operate independently but also enable preventive maintenance and human-machine cooperation so as to capture and deliver value and respond to customer demands. Towards this, the conference is structured in four tracks, namely industry 5.0 in medical research, industry 5.0 in manufacturing and services, industry 5.0 in food processing, and the integration of emerging technologies. This conference endeavors to deliberate and explore the prospects of digital technologies along intersecting and interdisciplinary areas of manufacturing, healthcare, food processing, and services for the purpose of developing impactful and socially relevant solutions.
