INTRODUCTION :
Biological Science is a melting pot of modern technologies. it makes use of them for the expansion of understanding the complex interaction of events. Prediction of future trends in environmental impacts, climate change issues, landscape alterations, health hazards, disease outbreaks, etc. is becoming a hotbed of technology-reinforced research. Artificial intelligence (AI), currently a cutting-edge concept, has the potential to improve the quality of life of human beings. As the field of AI matures with more trained algorithms, the potential of its application in epidemiology, the study of host–pathogen interactions and drug designing, and customized medicine expand. Precise and advanced diagnosis and cost-effective treatment are some of the biggest goals of AI-based technologies. Similarly, Remote sensing-geographical information systems (RS-GIS) coupled with AI, are contributing immensely to the field of agriculture, predicting seasons, forecasting weather, and increasing output. Moreover, the use of AI through machine learning (ML) and deep-learning-based applications is approaching complex dynamics of the body for example cognitive neuroscience. Collectively we can say, that the coming days are going to be an interdisciplinary confluence of multiple scientific avenues. With this in focus, we are looking forward to creating a forum for discussing this technological intervention in the backdrop of biological sciences in the presence of students, researchers and scientists.
