The 12th Artificial Intelligence Symposium (AIS) is an international annual conference on artificial intelligence, large language models, machine/deep learning, foundation models, and generative artificial intelligence. The conference includes invited talks, tutorials, special sessions, industrial tracks, demonstrations, and oral and poster presentations of refereed papers.
The AIS has established itself as a premier interdisciplinary conference in AI, deep/machine learning, LLMs, computational optimization, data science, foundation models and generative AI. It provides an international forum for the presentation of original interdisciplinary research results, and the exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical development experiences.
We invite submissions of papers, abstracts, posters, talks and demos on all topics related to Artificial Intelligence including real-world applications for the Conference Post-Proceedings – Springer-Nature Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
AIS 2026 is a residential conference, all participants (invited speakers, authors, organizers, chairs, participants) must book and stay at the Riva del Sole Resort and Spa. No exceptions are allowed.
The AIS Conference Manifesto
“The problem of understanding intelligence is said to be the greatest problem in science today and “the” problem for this century — as deciphering the genetic code was for the second half of the last one.
Arguably, the problem of learning represents a gateway to understanding intelligence in brains and machines, to discovering how the human brain works, and to making intelligent machines that learn from experience and improve their competences as children do.
In engineering, learning techniques would make it possible to develop software that can be quickly customized to deal with the increasing amount of information and the flood of data around us.”
“The Mathematics of Learning: Dealing with Data“
Tomaso Poggio (MOD 2015 & LOD 2020 Keynote Speaker) & Steve Smale
“Artificial Intelligence has already provided beneficial tools that are used every day by people around the world. Its continued development, guided by the Asilomar AI Principles, will offer amazing opportunities to help and empower people in the decades and centuries ahead.”
The Asilomar AI Principles have been adopted by the AIS since their initial formulation (3-5 January 2017). Since then they have been an integral part of the Manifesto of AIS.
All papers must be submitted using EasyChair.
Paper Submission deadline: Tuesday June 23, 2026 (AoE)
