[Data for Policy]

Dear colleagues,

*Submission Deadline Extended : 7 July 2025, 23:59 (AoE)*

Data for Policy CIC, in collaboration with the *Shanghai Research Institute
for Intelligent Autonomous Systems (SRIIAS*) at *Tongji University*, the AI
Hub in Generative Models and the Cambridge University Press is delighted to
invite submission of extended abstracts, full papers, and panel proposals
for Data for Policy 2025 (DfP’25) – Asia Pacific Edition
<https://dataforpolicy.org/data-for-policy-2025-asia-pacific/>, to be held
in Shanghai, China, on *23–24 October 2025.*

The theme for this edition, “Advancing AI: Innovations, Governance, and
Ethical Frontiers”, highlights artificial intelligence as a defining force
reshaping economies, transforming industries, and raising critical societal
questions. As AI advances, so do urgent debates on fairness,
accountability, and the global governance of powerful technologies such as
generative AI and AGI. This conference invites exploration into how
innovation can align with human values, how to mitigate algorithmic bias
and data sovereignty concerns, and how to build effective, cooperative
frameworks for safe and equitable AI development. By fostering
interdisciplinary dialogue and policy-relevant insights, we aim to bridge
the gap between rapid technological change and responsible, inclusive
governance.

At this nexus, we invite submissions in the form of extended abstracts,
full papers, and/or panel session proposals reflecting the conference theme
“Advancing AI: Innovations, Governance, and Ethical Frontiers” explored
through following core topics:

   - Innovation and Challenges in Frontier Technologies of Artificial
   Intelligence
   - Current Status and Future of Artificial Intelligence Governance
   - Artificial Intelligence Ethics and Social Responsibility
   - Applications of Artificial Intelligence Across Industries
   - Global Governance and Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence

Submissions are encouraged to reflect on the unique challenges or
opportunities in each proposer’s region, engaging with local, regional, or
global contexts. While our conference theme provides a frame of reference,
we welcome contributions on any topic that adds valuable insights to the
ongoing data for policy dialogue as aligned with our standard focus areas.

Submission Formats:
We welcome submissions in the following formats:
•* Individual Extended Abstracts: *These should present preliminary
research,
innovative ideas, or emerging perspectives related to the conference theme
