Policies for ICFAI- 25 Authors

The ICFAI (Conference on Faith and Technologies in Artificial Research) is excited to welcome all participants to Rwanda in November 2025. To assist with your conference planning, please carefully review the author presentation policies outlined below. Authors of accepted papers will be required to acknowledge and agree to these policies when submitting their final camera-ready versions.

1. In-Person Presentation Requirement

At least one author is required to present their paper, either in person or online, and must register for the conference at the applicable rate.

Both in-person and online presentation options are available.

2. Acknowledgement of Policy at Camera-Ready Submission
At the time of camera-ready submission, the following acknowledgment will be required:
 
“I commit to an author presenting the paper in-person at ICFAI-25. If exceptional circumstances arise that prevent the authors from presenting the paper in person, I will notify ICFAI immediately. I acknowledge that if I do not notify ICFAI about exceptional circumstances, the paper will not be included in the proceedings.”

Policy on Use of AI Systems in Producing ICFAI or ICFAI-Related Publications

1. Plagiarism and Use of AI Systems (e.g., ChatGPT or Similar LLMs)

Papers that include text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, are prohibited unless the produced text is explicitly presented as part of the paper’s experimental analysis. This policy does not prevent authors from using LLMs for editing or polishing text written by the authors themselves.

2. AI Systems and Authorship
ICFAI-25 follows the ICFAI policy that AI systems, including generative models such as ChatGPT, Bard, or DALL·E, do not meet the criteria for authorship of papers published by ICFAI. As such, these systems also cannot be cited as sources in papers published by ICFAI.
  • Authors bear full responsibility for their content, including checking for plagiarism and ensuring the accuracy of all text.
3. Handling Allegations of Plagiarism
Any allegation of plagiarism, whether due to the use of an LLM or any other reason, will be investigated thoroughly by ICFAI. If plagiarism is substantiated, potential sanctions include:
  • Rejection or retraction of the work.
  • Notification to all the authors’ institutions or employers, as well as any other relevant authorities.
  • Denial of service and access to all ICFAI-sponsored meetings.
