Conference overview

Where environmental resilience meets the age of AI

Environmental resilience has become central to how businesses, policymakers, and institutions respond to climate change. At the same time, AI is evolving from a capability into infrastructure—creating both new possibilities and new environmental, governance, and organisational challenges.

ASCI, a premier management training institution and policy think tank in India, and Florida International University, a leading public research university in the United States, invite contributions that bridge environmental resilience and AI innovation.

Six conference tracks

A broad, interdisciplinary research agenda

The conference welcomes work connecting AI with business strategy, policy, operations, finance, human capital, and responsible management.

Sustainable Business Strategy and Corporate Leadership

How corporate strategy and leadership can translate AI adoption into genuine environmental and sustainability gains.

Public Policy, AI Governance, Cybersecurity, and Institutional Resilience

Regulatory, legal, governance, and cybersecurity frameworks for environmental risks and long-term institutional resilience.

Operations, Supply Chains, and Data Centres

The operational and environmental footprint of AI infrastructure, including measurement and disclosure frameworks.

Finance, Risk, and Policy

How AI-related environmental and operational risks enter financial and investment decisions—and the policy tools that can address gaps.

Human Resource Management and Organisational Change

Workforce capabilities, team design, and change-management systems for AI adaptation linked to sustainability outcomes.

ESG, CSR, and Responsible Management in the Age of AI

Whether existing ESG and CSR governance can hold AI systems accountable, and what responsible management should look like.
