About the Conference
Critical dialogue on artificial intelligence and contemporary society
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming nearly every aspect of contemporary society. Beyond technological innovation, AI raises profound philosophical, ethical, legal, social, economic, and educational questions that increasingly influence the way we live, work, communicate, and govern.
AI Perspectives 2026: Philosophy, Society and Technology is an international interdisciplinary conference organised on the occasion of World Philosophy Day. The conference aims to provide a platform for critical dialogue on the opportunities and challenges created by Artificial Intelligence while fostering collaboration between academia, students, industry, entrepreneurs, investors, and the broader technology ecosystem.
Our objective is to bridge the gap between theoretical reflection and practical innovation by bringing together experts from philosophy, computer science, sociology, psychology, law, economics, business, and related disciplines.
