Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Chayanika Uniyal, Amna Mirza
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly integrated into sectors such as healthcare, finance, and education, the ethical challenges surrounding their design and deployment grow more critical. This study explores the pivotal role of women in addressing these challenges, particularly in mitigating issues such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and transparency in decision-making processes. It argues that the underrepresentation of women in the AI sector exacerbates these ethical concerns and limits the potential for inclusive, responsible AI systems. Central to this discussion is the question: How can increased gender diversity, particularly the inclusion of women, help mitigate the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence and foster more inclusive AI development? Drawing on case studies and research, this paper discusses the importance of diverse gender perspectives in AI ethics and highlights initiatives aimed at increasing female participation in the field. Furthermore, it touches on the role of gender-responsive pedagogy in empowering women to contribute meaningfully to AI development. By promoting greater gender diversity and inclusive design principles, this article contends that the AI industry can create more equitable, ethical technologies that benefit society as a whole.

Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Mohammad Obeidat
Despite the advancements in tenures, the application of AI to address challenges in various areas of improvement and healthcare sustainability remains a significant challenge. Moreover, the operational implications and evaluation of AI model performance in healthcare, in connection with environmental and financial issues faced by health organizations, have been minimally explored. The primary aim of this research is to examine the opportunities and constraints of various AI methodological advancements that can have practical and effective applications, ultimately contributing to the implementation of sustainable healthcare to meet the population's increasing demand for accessibility and quality of care. Furthermore, this study does not seek to present a singular perspective on the topics, but rather to offer a comprehensive analysis discussing the foundational assumptions and connections between various ideals that have enabled the application and subsequent innovation of AI in healthcare. Finally, this paper also addresses the guidelines and future directions in the operations and challenges of sustainable healthcare.
AI-Driven Transformation in Hospitality and Tourism - Global Impacts and Insights: From Service to Strategy View Digital Media
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Fetine Bayraktar
The hospitality and tourist industry is one of the many businesses throughout the world that artificial intelligence (AI) is changing. Its ramifications are vividly illustrated by the fact that the industry is among the most global and integrated. This study investigates how AI applications are changing service delivery, organizational procedures, and strategic decision-making in the travel and hotel industry. AI-driven technologies like chatbots, smart room systems, predictive analytics, and robotic service assistants are being used as part of the larger wave of digital transformation to improve visitor experiences, expedite processes, and develop new business models. The study illustrates how AI enhances performance management, individualized service offerings, and operational efficiency using real-world examples from international hotel chains and tourism businesses. It also draws attention to the difficulties in integrating AI, such as the need to adjust the staff, moral dilemmas, and unequal adoption in different areas and hotel kinds. This case study emphasizes the dual function of AI as a technology disruptor and an enabler of strategic innovation by presenting the hospitality sector as a microcosm of the global digital transformation. The findings argue for comprehensive strategies that match AI adoption with organizational objectives and sustainable development, and they support additional empirical, human-centric research to comprehend AI's socio-technical impact in service industries. In the era of intelligent technology, the travel and hotel industry thus not only benefits from AI innovation but also acts as a test ground for wider societal ramifications.
