The conference celebrates its anniversary, preserving the best traditions of AI Journey
The organizers of the X anniversary international conference AI Journey 2025 ("Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence"), held with the support of the AI Alliance, have announced the event program.
Among the speakers are leading specialists and visionaries from the global AI community who will offer new perspectives on technology development. Presentations from representatives from Russia, China, India, Serbia, Brazil, Bahrain, the USA, Malaysia, and other countries are also planned.
Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank:
"The anniversary conference preserves the best traditions of AI Journey: it features not only well-known names in the field of AI but also relevant topics, announcements of leading developments, and international networking in a hybrid format. This year, the focus is on technological innovations and practical examples demonstrating the potential of generative AI to expand human capabilities for businesses and society. I urge all those interested in AI to join AI Journey — a platform where insights emerge and the technological future is created."
The first day, November 19, will focus on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in everyday life and for national development. The program includes demonstrations of solutions for everyday tasks and a talk show about the global impact of technology on society and the planet.
November 20 will be dedicated to the implementation of artificial intelligence in various sectors of the economy and business processes. The conference will be opened by Alexander Vedyakhin, and Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, is also expected to attend. Following that, Andrey Belevtsev, Senior Vice President and Head of the "Technological Development" block at Sberbank, will discuss new market trends and Sber's developments. Participants can look forward to presentations from speakers from the conference's partner technology companies, including Chen Qiufan, a well-known Chinese science fiction writer, who will present a report titled "The Future of AI: From Fiction to Reality." Important events of the day will include the second international business forum of BRICS+ countries on AI, a session of the AI Alliance, and the award ceremony for the winners of the national "AI Leaders" award for achievements in artificial intelligence.
On November 20, a special track AIJ Deep Dive will also begin, lasting until November 21. This track will feature presentations from leading AI experts, groundbreaking scientific papers from research centers, a pitch session for Russian AI startups, and demonstrations of business solutions based on GenAI and a multi-agent approach.
November 21, dedicated to artificial intelligence in science, will be opened by Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, and Andrey Belevtsev. An important event will be the summary of the foresight sessions AI Horizons, which took place in various countries under the auspices of the International Alliance for Artificial Intelligence. Participation from scientists from around the world is expected in the day's program. For example, Ajit Abraham (Sai University, India) will talk about "Generative AI in Healthcare," Nebojsa Bacanin Jakula (Singidunum University, Serbia) will share achievements in bio-inspired metaheuristics, and Alexander Ferreira Ramos (University of São Paulo, Brazil) will present his work on regulatory logic of transcriptional control at the DNA level using thermodynamic models. Anderson Rocha (University of Campinas, Brazil) will also speak at the conference with a report titled "The Revolution of Convergence: AI, Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, IoT, Robotics, and Other Directions."
As part of AIJ, there will also be a unique youth track AIJ Junior, where Russian experts will share practical recommendations on using AI solutions in education, creativity, and self-development. Additionally, interviews with winners of international Olympiads in AI and exact sciences will be conducted to inspire the younger generation to seek new opportunities in this field.
The day will conclude with the awarding of winners of the AI Challenge for young data researchers and the AIJ Contest for experienced AI specialists. The results of the open selection of scientific articles for AIJ Science will also be announced, and the best works will be published in a scientific journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences, with the author of the best article receiving a monetary reward.
The conference can be followed live on the website in Russian, English, and Arabic, with the main stage broadcast accompanied by translation into Russian sign language (RSL).
