About the Conference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The conference is preceded by one day of free tutorials for participants who wish to learn state of the art of research relating to the topics of KMO and LTEC<\/a>. The tutorials will be held on the 24th of August 2026. The conference itself commences on the 25th of August 2026. All accepted papers will be published by Springer <\/strong>in the Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS)<\/em> <\/a><\/strong>proceedings series, which is indexed in Scopus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

The rapid proliferation of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) \u2014 including large language models, autonomous intelligent agents, and multimodal content creation systems \u2014 is reshaping the fundamentals of knowledge creation, management, and dissemination. This transformation compels a critical re-examination of established theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and organizational practices. At stake is not only how knowledge is acquired, organized, and used, but also how digital intelligence intersects with sustainability, ethical governance, and societal resilience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an era marked by climate urgency, resource constraints, and the pursuit of equitable digital futures, GenAI demands that scholars interrogate not only epistemic shifts but also the environmental, social, and ethical implications of knowledge systems. This conference calls for interdisciplinary dialogue bridging knowledge management (KM), sustainability studies, cognitive science, information systems, organizational theory, and computer science. We invite scholars to explore how generative technologies transform knowledge processes, human\u2013AI co-creation, and the governance of knowledge in support of sustainable, just, and responsible organizational ecosystems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
