DESCRIPTION</font></p><p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;text-align:justify"><br></span></p><p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;text-align:justify">The
advancement of AI technologies has progressed from enhancing human cognition to
playing a crucial role in creating digital humans that replicate human
intelligence and appearance, i.e., AI-powered digital humans. They have become
integrated into daily life, with interactions increasingly resembling those
with real people. These AI digital humans, designed with realistic human-looking
appearances (form realism) and intelligent behaviors (behavioral realism) in
both real and virtual environments and imbued with intelligence, have
significantly enhanced user experience in various industrial and service
settings, such as news media (e.g., AI news anchors), customer services (e.g.,
AI robo advisors), and entertainments (e.g., AI singers). They enable users to more
easily access human-based services and engage in more personalized interactions
not only with machines and technological systems but also with other human
beings. Notably, the interactions with AI-powered digital humans occur in real-time,
facilitating the efficient handling of large volumes of data and diverse
computational tasks almost instantly through immediate learning processes.</span></p><p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in"><span style="text-align:justify;font-family:"times new roman",serif"><br></span></p><p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in"><span style="text-align:justify;font-family:"times new roman",serif">AI
algorithms and machine learning techniques are now widely used across
industries to support autonomous AI applications and digital representations
such as digital</span><span style="text-align:justify;font-family:"times new roman",serif"> humans. This shift represents a fundamental change in how
digital entities are created, applied, and consumed, and also in how audiences
engage with them. The objective of this mini-track is to explore the
convergence of AI-powered digital humans in various settings, the dynamic
interactions between humans and AI-powered digital humans, and their social and
industrial effects, with a focus on the potential, challenges, and implications
of this intersection.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><font face="times new roman, serif"> </font></p><p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in"><font face="times new roman, serif">TOPICS
