| Professor Kevin Wong, President |
In recent years, there have been many developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in Neural Networks. Asia Pacific is one of the regions in the world that is accelerating AI development and adoption. With the increased adoption of such technology, there is much focus on the responsible use of AI, adopting robust system engineering, and focusing on providing advancement for humanity. Since establishing the Asia Pacific Neural Network Assembly (APNNA) and later converting to the Asia Pacific Neural Network Society (APNNS), the society has been an important platform to encourage new AI-related innovations, foster collaborations, and continue our strong traditions in science and technology.
APNNS run our annual flagship conference, the International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP), which encourages researchers, engineers, practitioners, and industry leaders to come together to share new and innovative discoveries and work collaboratively to address problems worldwide. The number of submissions and participations in ICONIP has increased significantly in recent years. We invite you to the annual International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP). I look forward to listening to your new scientific and innovative ideas at the conference.
Kevin Wong
President, APNNS 2025-2026
