ICAIC 2026 invites high-quality, original research contributions in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity. Join researchers from 50+ countries in shaping the future of secure AI systems.
The purpose of the ICAIC conference series is to advance research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and encourage scientific exchange among researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across AI and its affiliated fields. ICAIC 2026 will be the ICAIC Conference on Cutting-Edge Research and Advancement in AI and Cybersecurity.
This year's conference will continue the tradition of emphasizing the collaborative bridge theme, focusing on fostering connections within and beyond AI. AI for Social Impact and Responsible AI will be central themes of the event.
Conference Theme: "Securing the Future: AI, Cyber Defense, and Trust in a Digital World" — The Bridge Program for ICAIC 2026 seeks to promote interdisciplinary collaboration by encouraging engagement between different AI subfields and external disciplines.
ICAIC 2026 will be an in-person and a virtual conference. The conference will include technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions and exhibitions, and Bridge and Lab Programs tailored to the conference's theme of building bridges between disciplines.

Significance, novelty, theoretical soundness, relevance to ICAIC, and clarity of exposition.
Authors notified with detailed reviewer feedback. Reproducibility and ethics are considered.
ICAIC is a highly selective conference. Submit only your most impactful work.
Contributions may take various forms, including theoretical advancements, methodological innovations, algorithmic developments, empirical studies, integrative work that connects disparate AI subfields, or critical analyses that challenge fundamental assumptions or approaches in AI.
Papers that explore new research areas, introduce novel problems, or present methods of broader interest across multiple AI subfields will be prioritized over papers that offer only incremental advancements within a narrow AI sub-area.
