ACM AI 2026, 30 Aug–2 Sept 2026
Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, but some of the most important questions about its future extend far beyond technology alone. How should AI be governed? How will it transform scientific discovery, education, creative work and the workforce?
To explore these questions, ACM is bringing together an exceptional group of leaders from research, industry, government and education at the inaugural ACM AI Leadership Summit. Speakers include ACM Turing Award laureates Yann LeCun and Andrew Barto, United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology Amandeep Singh Gill, ACM Prize in Computing recipient Amanda Randles and many others. The event will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Learn more about the event and its goals in this recent Communications of the ACM article from the organisers of the ACM AI Leadership Summit.
