The 2nd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics (ICAIDE 2026) will be held in Guangzhou, China from May 22 to 24, 2026. As the successor to the successful ICAIDE 2025, this edition will push boundaries by tackling emerging challenges in AI ethics while maintaining focus on core issues like algorithmic transparency and data governance. This year's conference introduces several groundbreaking elements, including in-depth explorations of Artificial General Intelligence ethics and the societal implications of quantum computing, topics that represent the next frontier in digital ethics discourse. A key differentiator from previous editions will be the strong emphasis on practical implementation, featuring hands-on workshops for applying ethical frameworks and case-study competitions highlighting successful ethical AI deployments across industries. The 2026 program also innovates with interactive formats like ethics hackathons and AI red-teaming exercises designed to identify and address ethical vulnerabilities in real time. New to this edition are dedicated sessions bridging policy and industry, including a high-level Policy-Industry Roundtable bringing together global regulators and technology leaders to develop actionable governance guidelines, as well as venture capital panels examining funding mechanisms for ethically-aligned AI innovation.
