Hosted by Asia Centre, this annual international conference explores how artificial intelligence is transforming governance across Asia—with a focus on its implications for civil society, democracy, and media. Featuring panels, keynote speeches, and breakout discussions, the event will convene policymakers, academics, journalists, and civil society leaders to address both the promise and the peril of AI-driven change.

Themes Include:

• AI and Electoral Integrity, Parliaments, and Civic Spaces

• AI, Human Rights, Gender, and Inclusion

• Media Sustainability, Disinformation, and Public Trust in AI

• Ethical and Regulatory Frameworks for AI Governance

Participants will engage in thematic sessions and network with a diverse mix of regional stakeholders. The goal: to build frameworks that ensure AI supports rather than undermines democratic governance.

💳 Conference Fee: USD 350 (covers participation, logistics, and coffee breaks; does not include travel or accommodation)
