at Tongji University <https://en.tongji.edu.cn>, the AI Hub in Generative
Models <https://www.genai.ac.uk>and the Cambridge University Press
<https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress> 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.*

*Submission Deadline: *23 June 2025
*Conference Dates:* 23-24 October 2025
*Venue: *SRIIAS,Tongji University, Shanghai, China

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 *focusing on the latest technological
   advancements in the field of AI, including generative artificial
   intelligence, deep learning with large models, reinforcement learning,
   natural language processing, and computer vision. It will also explore the
   challenges these technologies face in practical applications, such as data
   quality, model interpretability, and security issues.
   - *Current Status and Future of Artificial Intelligence Governance *delving
   into the current state of AI governance, including existing regulations,
   policies, and standards. The conference will discuss how these governance
   mechanisms affect the development and application of AI technology and
   predict future trends.
   - *Artificial Intelligence Ethics and Social Responsibility* focusing on
   ethical issues in the development of AI technology, including data privacy,
   algorithmic bias, and the social impact of automation. It will discuss how
   businesses and society can ensure the responsible use of AI technology and
   how to promote social welfare and sustainable development through AI
   technology.
   - *Applications of Artificial Intelligence Across Industries *exploring
   how AI technology drives innovation and improves efficiency in different
   industries. The conference will showcase practical applications of AI in
   fields such as medical diagnostics, autonomous driving, and smart
   manufacturing, and discuss how these applications change industry
   landscapes and business models.
   - *Global Governance and Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence*
   discussing how to build effective AI governance mechanisms in the context
   of globalisation. It will explore how international organisations,
   governments, and the private sector can cooperate to ensure the healthy
   development of AI technology and address transnational AI ethical and
   regulatory issues.

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
