Digital University Foundation explores the responsible use of artificial intelligence to support selected administrative, organizational, and information-management activities within academic conferences. AI is used as an assistive technology rather than as a replacement for scientific committees, editors, peer reviewers, or human academic judgment.
Potential AI-Assisted Functions
Classification of submissions by subject or keywords, identification of potentially relevant reviewer expertise, assistance with programme and session organization, scheduling support, search and discovery across conference content, and preparation of draft summaries or administrative materials. All such functions remain subject to human oversight.
Abstract Screening & Reviewer Matching
Automated tools may assist with administrative checks such as completeness or subject classification. AI should not independently determine whether scientific research is valid or whether a submission deserves acceptance. AI-assisted matching may help organizers identify possible reviewers, but reviewer appointment remains a human decision considering conflicts of interest, qualifications, and confidentiality.
Peer Review & Scientific Decisions
AI does not replace peer reviewers. Final decisions concerning scientific quality, methodological validity, ethical concerns, acceptance or rejection, awards, and programme selection remain with appropriately authorized human editors, reviewers, committees, or organizers.
Current Position
The term "AI-Assisted Conference" describes conferences using defined AI-supported functions; it should not imply that the scientific process is autonomously managed by artificial intelligence.
