About the Event
The day-long program will examine some of the most pressing frontiers in emerging technology. Discussions will explore how quantum computing, when coupled with AI, is poised to revolutionise industries and redefine digital ecosystems worldwide. A session on agentic AI will focus on the rise of autonomous, adaptive systems capable of operating with minimal human oversight, while another will examine the role of AI in enabling seamless cross-border e-retail and transforming global finance. The conversation will also turn to “Bharat Intelligence,” highlighting the imperative of designing AI solutions that address India’s unique scale, diversity, and aspirations.
As technological breakthroughs accelerate, the summit will also grapple with their inherent risks. Panels will debate how to balance innovation with digital trust in the quantum era, address the mounting threats of deepfakes and synthetic fraud, and spotlight AI-driven countermeasures. The impact of large language models deployed at scale—reshaping how businesses function, governments deliver, and societies interact—will be another focal point.
Beyond the discussions, the summit will showcase poster presentations, capstone projects, and networking sessions, providing opportunities for participants to exchange ideas and forge collaborations.
By weaving together insights across disciplines, the Data Science Summit 2025 aims to chart a forward-looking roadmap for an inclusive, secure, and transformative digital future.
Call for Poster Presentation
The goal of this track is to offer industry professionals, academicians, researchers, and PhD students a platform to share their ideas and research, receiving feedback and suggestions from experts and the audience. We encourage authors to use the poster sessions to initiate discussions with the scientific and research community about their early-stage work, fostering further development for future publication and innovation. Posters are intended to showcase ongoing research progress and insights from recent projects and lessons learned. Participants who register for poster presentation and present their poster at DSS 2025 will receive a Certificate of Participation.
