ICAIR 2026
6th International Conference on AI Research
The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence
DFKI, Kaiserslautern, Germany
Conference Chair
Christoph Lipps
The International Conference on AI Research (ICAIR 2026) has developed into a key forum for academics and students, whether social scientists, natural scientists or philosophers come together to explore the future of society in the context of AI and Robotics. Many aspects of AI are now the subject of peer reviewed academic research, including the increasing use of Chatbots and GenAI in academe and in society at large. This conference is interested in all aspects of artificial intelligence as it affects society, education and the workplace. Topics from machine learning, deep learning and neural networks to building a business case for AI implementation, and the risks, social and ethical implications are welcome. The conference is also interested in discussing the dangers posed by AI as well as what can be done to minimise the use of this powerful technology by malicious actors.

I have been a follower of the International Conference on AI Research for many years and look forward to bringing the conference to The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence – DFKI in Kaiserslautern in 2026.
