IAS Frontiers Conference on Artificial Intelligence 2026
The IAS Frontiers Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a one-day gathering of world-leading AI researchers exploring the capabilities, risks, and responsibilities of the next generation of intelligent systems. This year’s theme, “Intelligent Systems at the Frontier: Autonomy, Alignment, and the Next Generation of AI,” brings together experts across multi-agent systems, long-term autonomy, AI safety, cognitive architectures, and human–AI collaboration.
The conference examines how academia can provide scientific leadership in an era increasingly shaped by big-tech dominance, culminating in a panel moderated by Professor Sarit Kraus on: "Beyond Scale: What AI Research Should Academia Lead in the Era of Big-Tech Dominance?"
Sessions will span a wide range of timely and critical topics, including:
The Current State of AI: Understanding where we are today in terms of capabilities, applications, and limitations.
What’s Next: Exploring emerging research, future opportunities, and key questions that will define the next decade of AI.
The Impact of AI: Assessing how AI is transforming industries, reshaping society, and challenging ethical and policy frameworks.
AI Advancements: Highlighting cutting-edge developments in machine learning, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and more.
