CALL FOR PAPERS
The 5th International Conference on Modern Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Systems (MAIDSS), as in MISC18, MISC20, MAIDSS22 and MAIDSS24, focuses on Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI&DS), their applications and how AI&DS fields can support societal challenges such as health and well-being, food and nutrition, agriculture, clean energy, transportation and risk management, for critical issues such as climate change, environmental and ecological protection, societal safety, etc. At the same time, the socio-economic context has also favored the emergence of frauds and other cyber-criminal activities. AI coupled to DS can be used to safeguard and protect users from these kinds of threats. AI&DS are potentially offering solutions to many practical issues of everyday life and if well exploited can positively revolutionize the life of the people.
MAIDSS aims to put in place sustainable mechanisms to strengthen and promote the cooperation between academics and professionals. It is also a key tool for strengthening industrial cooperation in AI R&D and bridging the gap between research and the market.

Abstract
Industrial AI systems are transforming modern industries, from manufacturing and energy to logistics and process control, enabling data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency. As these systems move from research prototypes to real-world deployment, ensuring trustworthiness becomes critical.
This keynote examines the current practice of industrial AI systems, highlighting successful implementations, common challenges, and lessons learned. It explores trusted AI principles: robustness under uncertainty, interpretability, and alignment with industrial processes.
Through real-world case studies, the talk demonstrates the impact of deploying trusted AI systems in industrial environments, emphasizing the enhancement of human confidence in AI-driven decisions.
Artificial Intelligence and Biometrics : challenges and opportunities
Speaker: Dr. Vincenzo Piuri
Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy
Ph.D. in Computer Engineering (Polytechnic of Milan)
Full Professor, University of Milan (since 2000)

Abstract
Once typically used for critical applications and services, biometric technologies are now pervasively permeating our everyday life enabling seamless and convenient identification and authentication (e.g., passport control, smart phone unlocking, voice command, automatic photo tagging).
Artificial intelligence has been shown effective to extract the relevant knowledge from biometric data in order to increase the performance and deal with less-constrained and on-the-move acquisition of biometric traits.
The broad availability of biometric data challenges personal identity and privacy and imposes the need of biometric data protection to prevent misuse and impersonation. This lecture will illustrate the main biometrics techniques and the use of artificial intelligence, their strengths, limitations, and applications.
Agentic AI and the Road to Production Deployment
Speaker: Dr. Amita Kapoor
AI & Data Analytics Consultant · Educator · Author

Abstract
Agentic AI marks a shift from reactive systems to autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, and acting toward defined goals. By integrating large language models with memory, tool use, and feedback loops, these agents exhibit adaptive intelligence suited for dynamic environments.
However, deploying them in production presents major challenges—ensuring reliability, ethical alignment, and control over emergent behavior. Scalability, data drift, and long-term memory management add technical complexity. Overcoming these hurdles demands combining adaptive RAG, reinforcement learning, and human oversight to create AI systems that act responsibly and augment human decision-making across real-world applications.
Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing to support Industrial Manufacturing and Production
Speaker: Dr. SENAPATI Biswaranjan, AmplifyCell Technology, USA,
PhD (Computer and Quantum Information Science)
Global Quantum Computing Scientist for USA, Rest of World
IEEE Region-4, SPAx Chair
ERP-SAP HANA Cloud Solution/Enterprise Architecture
Abstract
This talk will cover the most advanced digitization of smart factory automation in comparison to traditional methods in Industries 4.0 or 5.0. While considering smart factories and digital transformation through SAP Business AI, artificial intelligence, generative and agentic AI, quantum artificial intelligence, and quantum machine learning play a vital role in addressing critical production issues, and they will connect multi-legacy systems to perform better battery cell industrial solutions. These innovations not only enhance efficiency but also enable real-time data analysis and predictive maintenance, significantly reducing downtime. As industries continue to evolve, the integration of these technologies will pave the way for more sustainable and responsive manufacturing processes. In this talk, I will present advanced technologies, including quantum technologies, quantum artificial intelligence, and quantum machine learning models that can support battery production at industrial manufacturing sites. Additionally, I will discuss several business and technological advancement concepts that contribute to digital innovations and transformations, supporting supply chain solutions for addressing critical production capacity and resource management in smart factories. These advancements enhance operational efficiency and pave the way for sustainable practices within the industry. By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, we can significantly improve decision-making processes and drive innovation across various sectors.
This talk explores how neuroscience can inform general AI design—and how AI can in turn assist neuroscience. Their intersection creates powerful opportunities for innovation, especially in fields like machine learning, cognitive science, and medical technology.
