Outline

This paper analyzes the structural crisis arising from the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) conferences, using data to diagnose it, and proposes a new model for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient AI research. It identifies four key challenges: excessive publication rates, environmental impact, negative online discourse, and increasing attendance. It also highlights the unsustainability of the existing centralized conference model. As a solution, it proposes the Community Federation Conference (CFC) model, which coordinates peer review, presentations, and networking globally but organizes locally.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
By clearly presenting the structural problems of the AI society based on data, we emphasize the need for improvement in the current system.
We propose a new model (CFC) for building a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient AI research ecosystem.
We call for a reimagining of the academic society system for scientific advancement, equity, and community well-being.
Limitations:
There is a lack of verification of the specific implementation methods and effectiveness of the CFC model.
There may be difficulties in securing cooperation and participation from various stakeholders.
Further research is needed to determine whether the CFC model can solve all the problems of the existing academic system.
