Abstract:
Almost all the innovation, customer interaction, and business trust is being rewritten by artificial intelligence (AI). Critical challenges emerge as computers start to create campaigns, generate text, and customize experiences: Can robots comprehend human emotion and intent? Will creativity be replicated or redefined by automation? In the era of data-driven persuasion, how can we strike a compromise between privacy and personalization? What new business models and ethical frameworks need to be developed when AI becomes a co-creator to maintain customer and brand trust?
Brands, platforms, and audiences are changing because of AI-driven advertising, according to new research in marketing and communication studies. Researchers have examined how machine learning improves the efficacy of advertising, how algorithmic targeting modifies the consumer decision-making process, and how automation changes the role of human creativity. Data ethics, transparency, and the changing nature of trust in the digital media ecosystem are issues that are addressed in parallel work. While AI offers unparalleled precision and scalability, it also poses serious concerns regarding fairness, authenticity, and user autonomy, according to insights from consumer behavior research and computational modelling. When combined, these questions show that the advertising industry has started to shift towards a new balance, where algorithmic reasoning and human intuition will have to coexist to yield meaningful engagement.
Top experts in technology, marketing, and communication will deliberate on the accelerating change of pace at which artificial intelligence has changed the creative economy. Its effects on consumer trust, the limits of machine-led creativity, and how changing business models can ethically adjust to this new age of intelligent persuasion will all be covered in the session. The conversation will also look at how the combination of machine intelligence, behavioral insights, and data science is changing the global advertising landscape and upending traditional ideas of accountability, creativity, and authenticity.

Research & Publications Office to host seminar on ‘Alcohol Consumption and Intimate Partner Violence: Long-Term Effects of a Temporary Alcohol Ban’ on 20 November
The talk will be delivered by Prof. Arnab Basu, Cornell University
10 November, 2025, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on, ‘Alcohol Consumption and Intimate Partner Violence: Long-Term Effects of a Temporary Alcohol Ban’, to be led by Prof. Arnab Basu, Cornell University (Economics area), at 4 pm on 20th November 2025, in Classroom P-22.
Abstract: The research traces the impact of a partial liquor ban – from launch to reversal – on alcohol consumption and women’s experience with intimate partner violence (IPV) in Kerala, India. Decomposing the policy-induced and reversal effects by employing difference-in-differences and event-study approaches, the researchers identify a significant reduction in alcohol consumption (but only in liquor-serving bars) with an accompanying reduction in IPV during the policy period. However, both alcohol consumption and IPV rebounded to pre-ban levels after the policy removal. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals these effects to be confined only to high-wealth households. A battery of robustness tests confirm the findings.
Speaker Profile: Dr. Arnab K. Basu is an Economist and Professor at the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. He holds a PhD in Economics from the Johns Hopkins University, and an MA in Economics from the Delhi School of Economics, India.
Dr. Basu’s primary research interests are within the area of labor markets in developing countries, the economics of eco- and social labeling, and designing lab-in-the-field experiments to elicit behavioral preferences. He is also involved in several projects that are India-specific, such as the link between indoor air pollution and child mortality, differential health (hypertension and clinical depression) reporting error amongst older adults, the effect of Kerala's partial alcohol ban on intimate partner violence, and dishonest behavior in individual and group settings.
He is a research fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics in Bonn, Germany, a fellow of the Global Labor Organization, and a recent visiting scholar at the World Institute for Development Economics Research, Helsinki, Finland, and visiting professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford, UK. He was awarded a research fellowship by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany, and is a recipient of the Theodore W. Schultz Young Economist Prize awarded by the International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE). Dr. Arnab Basu is an associate editor for the Journal of Economic Policy Reform and an academic editor for the Public Library of Science journal, PLoS ONE.

Last date for the application deadline is 29 November, 2025
October 28, 2025, Bengaluru: The Centre for Software and IT Management (CSITM) at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), in collaboration with the Association for Information Systems – India Chapter (INAIS), invites applications for participation in the two-day workshop titled ‘Scholarship in the AI Age,’ scheduled for 22nd and 23rd January 2026 at IIM Bangalore. The last date for submitting applications is 29 November 2025.
The intensive two-day workshop aims to explore how the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not merely introducing new tools but fundamentally transforming the very nature of academic research and inquiry. In this rapidly evolving landscape, scholars are called upon to move beyond being passive users of technology and become strategic, critical thinkers who can harness AI’s potential responsibly, ethically, and with intellectual rigor.
The session is designed to be a dialogue-driven engagement rather than a “how-to.” It is intended for scholars and educators who want to comprehend the profound, structural changes that AI is bringing to research, as well as build the sophisticated mindset required for this new age. We will not give quick fixes. Instead, participants will have a high-level discussion about how to design, perform, and publish high-impact research in a world where AI is always collaborating, criticizing, and catalyzing. The goal is to provide you with the frameworks to lead, not just adapt to, the future of research.
Senior faculty members from IIMs and IITs will be facilitators at the workshop and will lead discussions in the classroom, breakout sessions, and the Editors’ Roundtable on AI in Peer Review and Dissemination.
