Scope of the Special Session:
In an era where digital ecosystems are becoming increasingly complex, dynamic, and interconnected, businesses must reassess their core strategies, operational frameworks, and inherent value models to remain competitive. This theme examines the significant transformation organisations experience as they adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to become genuinely adaptive, data-driven enterprises. The main aim is to showcase and analyse the various ways AI and ML are not merely enhancing but fundamentally reshaping key aspects of the business ecosystem. We invite thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners to share insights, frameworks, practical implementations, real-world case studies, and best practices. Both technical and strategic contributions are welcome, especially those exploring how AI/ML can support resilient, scalable, and human-centred business ecosystems.
