DESCRIPTION:UNIDIR’s Global Conference on AI\, Security and Ethics 2026
  (#AISE26) will bring together a wide range of stakeholders – including 
 diplomats\, policymakers\, academia\, civil society\, industry and researc
 h laboratories – to examine the implications of artificial intelligence 
 (AI) for international peace and security.\nWith AI systems rapidly evolvi
 ng\, their governance sits at the forefront of global policy agendas. AI i
 s no longer a frontier question: its development\, deployment and use acti
 vely shape national\, regional and global security environments. As such\,
  policymakers and regulators increasingly recognize the need for shared un
 derstandings\, norms\, coordinated approaches and cross-border cooperation
 .\nRecent milestones – including General Assembly resolution 79/239\, t
 he Secretary-General’s report on AI in the military domain and resolu
 tion 80/58 – mark a shift toward implementation\, practical measures an
 d sustained engagement among States and stakeholders. As innovation accele
 rates across governments\, industry and research institutions\, aligning t
 echnological development with policy frameworks has become essential. The 
 coming years will be pivotal in defining the trajectory of AI governance i
 n the security domain and ensuring it remains grounded in international la
 w\, existing norms and responsible practice.\nIn this context\, UNIDIR is 
 convening the Global Conference on AI\, Security and Ethics 2026. Building
  on the success of last year’s inaugural event and the ongoing work of
  the Roundtable for AI\, Security and Ethics\, the conference will bring 
 together diplomats and policymakers\, as well as experts from the military
 \, industry\, academia\, civil society and research labs. Together\, the m
 ulti-stakeholder community will address the complex implications of AI for
  national\, regional and global security and resilience. The conference wi
 ll be held consecutively to the 2026 informal exchanges on AI in the milit
 ary domain in Geneva\, pursuant to resolution 80/58.\nCall for abstracts\n
