Impact Assessment in the age of Artificial Intelligence
44th Annual Conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment
Theme

Artificial intelligence (AI) will impact every aspect of our lives, our careers, and our environment. It is difficult to predict the effective impact of this new disruptive technology on impact assessment (IA). We are facing the opportunity of using the extraordinary potential of artificial intelligence to support our assessments and our choices.
Like any paradigm innovation capable of impacting every aspect of society, artificial intelligence requires that institutions, IA practitioners, and all stakeholders understand its importance and explore, detect, and contribute to mitigate its effective and pervasive impact on environment.
IAIA25 will create a global, comprehensive, and cooperative dialogue on the strategic role of impact assessment and impact assessment practitioners in the coming AI-based society, stimulating IAIA members and others to share their experiences and suggestions for supporting players with innovative and creative approaches and tools.

Objectives

Open a multi-disciplinary discussion on advantages and risks of AI for IA
Suggest the use of data-driven approaches into ordinary IA practices
Enhance the knowledge of AI tools for impact assessment
Share the potential of AI for effective ESG assessment/disclosure/reporting

Conference Topics
The conference will focus on these four thematic streams, plus general IA topics and the IAIA special-interest Sections:

Impact of AI on impact assessment
Data-driven innovation of processes/approaches/methodologies/tools
Evidence-based policymaking
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG)

IAIA25 will offer over 100 technical sessions (and 50+ are open sessions on general impact assessment topics: biodiversity, climate change, cultural heritage, health, Indigenous peoples, social impact assessment, and more!). No matter your sector—academia, government, industry, donor, consultant, or other—there is something for you.
