WHAT IS AI4?
The AI world has many events, but none quite like AI4. Founded in 2018, AI4 has grown into the largest conference in America dedicated to real-world applications of artificial intelligence in business and society. This is not an event for theorists or researchers locked away in laboratories: it is the place where AI stops being an abstract concept and becomes concrete solutions for real industries.
Its motto says it all: "Where theory meets practice."
AI4 2026: KEY FACTS
Date: August 4–6, 2026

THE HISTORIC KEYNOTE PANEL: HINTON, FEI-FEI LI AND ANDREW NG
The most anticipated moment of the event will undoubtedly be the conversation between three of the most transformative figures in the history of artificial intelligence: Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li and Andrew Ng.
Bringing these three minds onto the same stage is an unprecedented event. Together they represent decades of pioneering research, thousands of students trained around the world, and the technological foundation on which virtually all modern AI runs.
Topics they will address include: frontier AI research, human-centered innovation, governance and regulation, and the accelerating pace of AI adoption across all sectors.
