• Safety, government regulation and internal governance.
• AI ethics and fraud.
• The effectiveness of scientific research.
• 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 May and we will complete the selection by 8 May 2024.
