he rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we live, work, design, and innovate. Yet, at the core of every technological breakthrough lies human intelligence — the capacity for critical thinking, creativity, ethical reasoning, empathy, and contextual judgment. ICTAR 2026 embraces this dynamic intersection, positioning human intelligence not as a competitor to AI, but as its essential partner. 

Under the theme “Human Intelligence in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” ICTAR 2026 explores how engineering, computing, management, and science disciplines can harness AI responsibly while strengthening uniquely human capabilities. The conference seeks to examine how human-centered design, ethical governance, interdisciplinary research, and innovative thinking can shape AI systems that are inclusive, sustainable, and socially responsive. 

ICTAR 2026 invites researchers, academics, industry professionals, and innovators to engage in critical dialogue on topics such as human–AI collaboration, ethical AI frameworks, intelligent systems design, digital transformation, biomedical advancements, data-driven decision-making, and emerging technologies across engineering and management domains. 

As AI reshapes industries and societies, ICTAR 2026 provides a platform to reaffirm that the future of technology is not defined solely by algorithms, but by the intelligence, responsibility, and creativity of the humans who design and guide them.
