Synopsis:

AI-driven Data Science is redefining how knowledge is extracted, interpreted, and applied across disciplines. Combining powerful algorithmic advances with scalable data infrastructures, this evolving field integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical modeling, and domain expertise to solve complex real-world problems. Recent breakthroughs in generative AI, explainable models, foundation models, and big data ecosystems are expanding the capabilities of Data Science in areas ranging from healthcare and robotics to finance, education, the digital humanities, and environmental sustainability. These innovations are not only transforming scientific workflows but also reshaping business intelligence, policymaking, and everyday decision-making in smart systems and connected environments.This special session aims to highlight both the theoretical developments and practical applications of AI-infused Data Science. It welcomes contributions that explore innovative methodologies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and the societal impact of AI-powered analytics. By bringing together researchers and practitioners from a wide array of domains, the session provides a dynamic platform for discussing challenges, opportunities, and the future trajectory of intelligent data science.
