With support from Busan Metropolitan City, the International Esports Federation (IESF) is advancing the World Esports Standardization Development project as part of the World Esports R&D Program 2025. This initiative aims to establish international standards that reflect the unique characteristics and evolving needs of the global Esports industry.
In 2025, IESF is inviting research proposals for the “Establishment of World Esports AI Ethics Guidelines”, in response to the growing impact of both Traditional and Generative AI technologies in the Esports ecosystem.
Proposal Submission Deadline: July 23, 2025
Research should focus on defining the core values of Esports and establishing ethical principles for AI use; identifying and analyzing real-world risks associated with AI technologies; reviewing global AI ethics frameworks; consulting with interdisciplinary experts in AI, Esports, and law; and ultimately developing comprehensive, actionable guidelines that support responsible innovation across the Esports sector.
To view the full research scope, guidelines, and submission instructions, please refer to the RFP document.
Since 2021, IESF has supported academic and standardization research through the World Esports R&D Center, contributing to the scientific and systematic development of the industry.
