About the Conference

Shaping the Future of AI

IC4AI 2027 is the second edition of a premier international forum dedicated to bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world applications. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners from across the globe to exchange ideas at the intersection of theory and deployment.

Hosted at VIT-AP University — one of India's fastest-growing research institutions — in the emerging capital city of Amaravati, IC4AI 2027 continues the momentum of the inaugural edition held in July 2026.

All accepted and presented papers will be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings and partner journals, subject to applicable quality and scope standards. IC4AI is seeking IEEE Technical Co-Sponsorship for this edition.
