Description

Preface

It is with great pleasure that we present the Conference Proceedings of the One-Day National Conference on "Digital Dominance: Technology, AI, Cybersecurity and Geo-Politics in the New World Order," organized by the UG Department of Commerce (Computer Applications), Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College (Autonomous), Pollachi, on 24 July 2026, in collaboration with the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA), New Delhi.

The unprecedented advancement of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the global landscape. Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, digital governance, data sovereignty, emerging technologies, and geopolitical competition have become central to national development and international relations. The digital revolution has created immense opportunities for innovation, economic growth, and global collaboration while simultaneously presenting complex challenges related to cyber resilience, ethical governance, privacy, misinformation, and strategic security. These developments necessitate informed academic dialogue and multidisciplinary research to understand the evolving dynamics of the digital world.

The conference served as a vibrant platform for academicians, researchers, industry experts, policymakers, and students from across the country to deliberate on contemporary issues shaping the digital era. The enthusiastic participation and scholarly discussions reflected the growing importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing the technological and geopolitical challenges of the twenty-first century. The papers presented covered a broad spectrum of themes, including Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Digital Economy, FinTech, Data Governance, Digital Diplomacy, Emerging Technologies, Sustainable Digital Transformation, E-Commerce, Digital Innovation, and Global Strategic Affairs.

This volume brings together peer-reviewed research papers selected for their originality, academic rigor, and practical relevance. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and students seeking to understand the transformative role of technology in shaping the future world order.

We express our sincere gratitude to the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA), New Delhi, for partnering with us and supporting this academic initiative. We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Management of Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College (Autonomous), Pollachi, the Principal, faculty members, organizing committee, reviewers, session chairs, resource persons, authors, and participants whose collective efforts ensured the success of this conference.

We trust that the ideas and research presented in these proceedings will stimulate further scholarly inquiry, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and contribute meaningfully to policy discussions on technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and geopolitics in an increasingly interconnected digital world.
