Overview

AI is advancing faster than many organizations can adapt, raising urgent questions about how emerging technologies can be deployed reliably and at scale. The 2026 MIT AI Conference looks ahead to the next chapter of AI—examining not only what is possible, but what is practical, responsible, and achievable in the years to come.

The conference highlights MIT’s most influential work from the past year and the promising future it is shaping.  The program includes topics such as future AI architectures, AI management and deployment, AI applications, social impact, and policy.
