Cross-AI Symposium 2026

Cross-AI Symposium 2026

December 14–16, 2026 · Online

Cross-AI Symposium 2026 is an official pre-conference symposium of the International Conference on Cross-Disciplinary Artificial Intelligence (Cross-AI 2027). In December 2026, the Cross-AI Symposium 2026 will explore frontier themes through cross-disciplinary special sessions and focused workshops, bringing together emerging ideas and diverse disciplines to help shape the Cross-AI community and lay the foundation for the inaugural conference.

We invite work that challenges assumptions, opens new directions, and advances the frontiers of AI, including original research, early-stage results, novel systems, demonstrations, promising ideas, unexpected findings, and informative failure cases. Previously published work that aligns with the Cross-AI topics is also welcome for presentation and discussion, creating opportunities to exchange ideas across disciplines and perspectives.
