ISB Data Science Summit 2027: Key Takeaways

Call for Research Posters

29 January 2027 | Indian School of Business, Hyderabad

The ISB Institute of Data Science (IIDS) invites researchers, academicians, doctoral scholars, students, industry professionals and startups to submit research posters showcasing innovative ideas, emerging research, technological solutions and practical applications at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Digital Trust.

Poster Presentation Themes

1. AI, Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs)

2. Agentic AI: Autonomy, Security and Governance

3. AI-Powered Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience

4. Securing Digital Banking, FinTech and Digital Public Infrastructure

5. Deepfakes, Synthetic Media, Misinformation and Digital Trust

6. Quantum Computing, Post-Quantum Cryptography and Cybersecurity

7. Responsible AI, Explainability, Privacy and Digital Governance

Submissions may include original research, proof-of-concept solutions, AI models developed, experimental studies, innovative frameworks, and emerging technology applications.

The poster presentation session will provide an opportunity to engage with leading researchers, industry experts, policymakers and technology professionals, fostering research collaborations and knowledge exchange.

About the Event

The Data Science Summit (DSS) 2027, hosted by the ISB Institute of Data Science (IIDS) at the Indian School of Business, convenes leaders from government, industry, academia and the technology ecosystem to examine a defining challenge of the AI era: how can organisations harness increasingly capable intelligent systems while safeguarding the infrastructure, institutions and people that rely on them?

From foundation models and Generative AI to autonomous agents, rapid advances in AI are redefining how organisations innovate, operate and make decisions. These capabilities promise greater productivity, new business models and more responsive public services. Yet their adoption also raises consequential questions about cybersecurity, accountability, operational resilience, technological dependence and digital trust.

DSS 2027 brings these opportunities and challenges into a single conversation, exploring the intersection of enterprise AI, cybersecurity, quantum technologies and digital governance.

From AI Innovation to Cyber Resilience

The Summit will examine what it takes to move from AI experimentation to responsible deployment at scale—delivering tangible value while strengthening security, resilience and accountability.

The programme will explore questions shaping the next phase of AI adoption:

• How will proprietary and open-source foundation models shape the next generation of Agentic AI?

• How can enterprises translate Generative AI and autonomous agents into measurable, sustainable value?

• Where might quantum computing and Agentic AI converge, and what remains beyond current technological readiness?

• How can organisations govern and secure AI agents, including their identities, privileges, decisions and interactions?

• How can nations strengthen sovereign AI capabilities while managing dependencies across data, compute and technology infrastructure?

• How can AI enhance fraud detection, anti-money laundering and regulatory compliance while preserving transparency and accountability?

• What leadership, architectural and governance capabilities are needed to deploy Agentic AI responsibly at enterprise scale?

These themes run throughout the DSS 2027 programme, from foundation-model competition and quantum–AI convergence to cyber resilience, sovereign AI, financial governance and enterprise leadership.
