Preface

SHAPE2025 is a prestigious international and multidisciplinary conference proudly hosted by Tishk International University, in collaboration with the University of Liverpool and the University of Bradford. This landmark inaugural event serves as a dynamic platform to examine and discuss the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) primarily across three critical sectors: Health, Education, and Finance.

The conference is designed not only to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative applications of AI but also to foster meaningful connections, stimulate fresh ideas, and shape future collaborations among diverse stakeholders. By bringing together leading experts, emerging scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, SHAPE aims to spark critical conversations that will influence the trajectory of AI-driven innovation across disciplines.

A distinctive feature of this event is its strong emphasis on interactive dialogue, knowledge exchange, and relationship-building. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and networking sessions, participants will engage in open, interdisciplinary conversations that bridge academic, professional, and policy perspectives.

The conference warmly welcomes participants from academia, industry, government, and civil society, including researchers, students, healthcare providers, educators, financial professionals, and public-sector organisations. By convening this diverse community, SHAPE seeks to create a vibrant ecosystem that encourages collaboration, inspires innovation, and ultimately contributes to shaping a smarter and more sustainable future.

SHAPE2025 is proud to announce that it has received dozens of high-quality submissions from 14 countries around the world, including Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Lebanon, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, France, Iran, Cyprus, Malaysia, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This diverse international participation highlights the growing global interest in the transformative role of AI across Health, Education, and Finance.

All submissions underwent a rigorous peer-review process, with each paper evaluated by at least two experts to ensure the highest academic standards. Following this review, the Organising Committee accepted 35 outstanding contributions. Due to the limited two-day timeframe of the conference, 30 contributions will be presented across seven scientific sessions, while the remaining ones will be featured during the plenary sessions and keynote talks delivered by invited speakers. A selection of these contributions will be potentially invited for extension and further peer review, with the aim of publishing them as book chapters with an indexed publisher, thereby amplifying their academic impact.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all chairs and members of the Organising Committee for their dedication, professionalism, and hard work over the past several months and during the conference. Special thanks go to the hosting institution, Tishk International University, and to our supporting and sponsoring organisations, whose unwavering support has been instrumental to the success of this inaugural event.
