IAS Frontiers Conference on Artificial Intelligence 2026

20 Jan 2026 09.00 AM - 05.30 PM Tan Chin Tuan Lecture Theatre, NTU Alumni, Current Students, Industry/Academic Partners, Prospective Students, Public

The IAS Frontiers Conference on AI brings together leading thinkers who are shaping the next generation of intelligent systems. As AI advances toward greater autonomy, agentic behaviour, and deeper integration into human decision-making, the central challenge is no longer simply what AI can do – but how we design, secure, and align increasingly capable systems for real-world impact. 

This year’s theme, “Intelligent Systems at the Frontier: Autonomy, Alignment, and the Next Generation of AI,” unifies diverse threads across frontier AI research. From multi-agent systems and long-term autonomy to cognitive architectures, frontier model security, and human–AI collaboration, our speakers will explore the opportunities and responsibilities that define AI’s next decade. 

As Singapore strengthens its position as a global hub for trusted and innovative AI, this one-day, high-intensity conference provides a platform for breakthrough ideas, rigorous discussion, and cross-disciplinary exchange.
