International Conference KRA

In an era of rapid digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has become a major catalyst for change in many sectors, including education and research. AI offers tremendous opportunities to support learning, improve research efficiency and drive new innovations. However, the integration of these technologies also brings complex ethical challenges, such as the protection of data privacy, fairness of access, and the potential for algorithmic bias. This conference aims to explore how AI can empower the future of education and research in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Sustainability is one of the key elements in building a more inclusive and resilient world. In the context of education and research, sustainability means ensuring that future generations can access adequate resources to learn and innovate without damaging the environment or harming the global community. The combination of AI and sustainability provides an opportunity to create creative solutions that support lifelong learning and scientific advancement.

Ethics is an important foundation in the use of AI, especially in education and research. Technology developed without regard to ethical values can magnify social inequalities, reduce public trust, and exacerbate global problems. Therefore, integrating ethics in technology design and implementation is a top priority to ensure the positive impact of AI on society at large.

On the other hand, education plays a strategic role in equipping individuals with the necessary skills to face future challenges. By harnessing the potential of AI, educational institutions can create a more personalized, adaptive, and inclusive approach to learning. However, this must be done with the principles of equity and inclusion in mind so that all students regardless of their background have an equal opportunity to succeed.

In order to increase the role of education and research in realizing sustainable development, the Accounting Regional Conference (KRA) which is an International Conference presents the results of scientific research studies by cooperating with several universities in Indonesia and universities abroad. The event was organized by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants Educator Accountant Compartment (IAI KAPd) in collaboration with Airlangga University as the host, a research campus with the motto "Excellence with Morality" located in Surabaya City.

The conference invited academics, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to come together to discuss, share insights, and find innovative solutions in utilizing AI ethically and sustainably in the fields of education and research. With the theme "Empowering the Future of Education and Research: The Nexus of AI, Ethics, and Sustainability" we will explore new approaches that can strengthen global collaboration for a better future.
