Topic Description
The VISTA: Visionary Innovation in Standards and Technology of GenAI workshop at ICDM 2025 examines the intersection of Generative AI (GenAI) advancements and evolving community and legal standards. As GenAI transforms industries, it raises challenges in legal compliance and common sense considerations. This workshop convenes researchers, industry experts, and legal scholars to explore the alignment between technical innovation and regulatory frameworks, fostering discussions on responsible GenAI development.
Generative AI (GenAI) models, including large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models, are reshaping industries by automating content creation, enhancing decision-making, and enabling new forms of user interaction. However, their widespread adoption presents challenges in both technology and standards. How these new technologies perform with legal compliance and respect to common sense remains to be explored. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to explore the interaction of advanced GenAI technology and evolving corresponding standards. It aims to foster discussions on future innovations of GenAI in a regulated landscape.
Topics of Interest
We welcome submissions on innovations in GenAI at the intersection of technology and standards. We are particularly interested in contributions that align GenAI technologies with legal regulations and common sense considerations. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
New GenAI models with legal considerations
Novel GenAI model training and inference paradigm with legal compliance
Efficient GenAI model customization with respect to legal regulations and common sense
Analysis of data influence on GenAI models' behaviors related to common sense
Copyright challenges in GenAI, including detection, quantification, and mitigation techniques
Machine unlearning of GenAI models for legal compliance
Implementations of GenAI standards in various applications
Case studies of legal challenges in GenAI applications
GenAI-powered applications in digital finance
Technical contributions to ensure GenAI's compliance with financial regulations
GenAI applications in legal research, including contract analysis and case prediction
GenAI applications in risk management and regulatory monitoring
This workshop aims to bring together technical researchers, legal experts, and financial regulators to collaborate on developing comprehensive and practical approaches to GenAI development and its applications. The focus will be on ensuring legal compliance while integrating common-sense considerations.
