Call for Speakers: Shape the Conscience of AI at AI Connect 2026 Greetings Innovators, Builders, and Thinkers, Last year at AI Connect, we celebrated the dawn of a new age. Today, we stand in the bright, intense light of that new day. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future promise; it is a present reality, reshaping our world with astonishing speed. With this incredible power comes a profound responsibility. The most important work is no longer just about building more capable AI, but about building more conscionable AI. AI Connect is a 5-day event dedicated to this mission. We are calling for the boldest minds in the field to guide the conversation. We will move beyond the "how" of technology to confront the "why" and "what if." We will ask the hard questions: As we develop powerful new tools, are we architecting a better future? How do we embed our values into the silicon and code that will define the next generation of intelligence? We seek speakers who can illuminate the path forward. If you are working on, researching, or have a powerful perspective on the following, we want to hear from you: Key Themes for Discussion: The follwing are some ideas. This is an orientation list, we will look into ALL submissions even if they are not aligned with the main theme! Architecting Trust: Sessions on Explainability (XAI), fairness audits, bias mitigation, and creating transparent AI systems that earn human trust. The Agent & The Collective: Exploring the potential and pitfalls of autonomous agents, A2A communication, and multi-agent systems. Are they a force for unprecedented progress or unmanageable complexity? From Model to Mandate: Practical sessions on implementing responsible AI governance, navigating the regulatory landscape, and creating ethical frameworks that stick. Securing the Future: Deep dives into AI safety, alignment research, data privacy, and robust defenses against adversarial attacks. Generative AI in the Wild: Real-world case studies on deploying LLMs and generative tools responsibly, focusing on reducing harm, grounding in truth, and delivering real value. AI for Humanity: Inspiring stories and technical breakdowns of how AI is being used to tackle global challenges in climate, healthcare, education, and social equity. Why Lend Your Voice to AI Connect? Drive the Agenda: Help set the direction for the responsible development of AI. Elevate Your Impact: Share your work with an engaged audience of professionals and leaders. Build Your Network: Connect with peers who share your passion for ethical technology. Inspire the Next Generation: Your insights can empower hundreds of others to build with purpose. Feel free to partner with a colleague for a joint session to offer a richer, more diverse viewpoint. Session Format: Sessions are 60 minutes in length, designed to be interactive and leave a lasting impression.Azure AI Foundry Agents - Azure AI and APIM integration
