Organization and Management Theory OMT

Dear colleagues,

The Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society at the University of Notre Dame is delighted to announce the inaugural RISE AI Conference on October 6-9, 2025.

This conference provides a unique platform to explore how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to tackle complex societal and contemporary challenges while upholding the principles of Responsibility, Inclusion, Safety, and Ethics (RISE).

The world is in a transformative era, with AI revolutionizing industries, reshaping innovation, and unlocking opportunities once thought impossible. Its vast potential inspires optimism for a future where technology drives progress across industries, governments, NGOs, and society as a whole.

However, with this promise comes significant responsibility. Concerns over bias, inequitable access, safety vulnerabilities, and ethical uncertainties highlight the urgent need for a guiding framework. RISE AI fulfills this role, ensuring that the transformative power of AI drives meaningful, equitable, and sustainable impact across all sectors, building trust and accountability in the systems that shape our shared future.

At this time, we invite abstract submissions for research addressing interdisciplinary AI-driven advances to societal challenges. Accepted abstracts may be selected for oral presentations, poster sessions, and/or invited to submit a longer paper for possible inclusion in an edited book or journal proceedings.

Abstract Submissions:
Submission Deadline: March 15th, 2025
Acceptance Notifications: April 15th, 2025

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Fundamental and foundational advances in AI, especially for low-resource environments
• Interdisciplinary data-driven and AI advances for UN SDGs inspired use-cases, business applications, and societal challenges
• Frameworks for ethical and safe AI development and use
