2nd Multidisciplinary & Multicontinent International Conference
AI & NEW AGE TECHNOLOGY AINAT 2026
Responsible Technology for a Resilient Sustainable Future 20TH-21ST NOV, 2026
ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE:
In an era shaped by rapid technological advancement, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging digital technologies are redefining the foundations of human interaction, governance, industry, and education. As societies navigate the complexities of digital transformation, the growing influence of AI demands critical reflection to ensure that innovation aligns with ethical, inclusive, and sustainable development. Although technology offers transformative potential to advance human development and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it also poses complex challenges related to ethics, equity, accountability, data privacy, environmental degradation, labour displacement, and social vulnerability. As the world confronts climate instability, economic uncertainty, public health risks, and widening digital divides, the need for responsible, inclusive, and sustainable technology governance becomes more critical than ever. To advance this dialogue, Manav Rachna University is pleased to host the 2nd International Multidisciplinary Conference on Artificial Intelligence and New Age Technology (AINAT 2026) on the theme “Responsible Technology for a Resilient Sustainable Future.”
AINAT 2026 seeks to bring together global scholars, researchers, educators, policymakers, technologists, legal experts, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to engage in cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange. The conference aims to explore how responsible and human-centered AI can support social equity, environmental stewardship, economic resilience, and educational transformation ensuring that technology remains a catalyst for collective progress rather than disparity. AINAT 2026 emphasizes the urgent need to embed ethics, accountability, and sustainability into the technological ecosystem, ensuring that innovation uplifts, empowers, and protects.
The conference will be organized across interdisciplinary tracks aligned to the core strengths of the University’s academic schools. It will feature expert keynote lectures, policy dialogues, thematic paper presentations, workshops, and industry-academia networking sessions. The conference aims to foster research collaborations, publication opportunities, and actionable strategies that support sustainable and ethical technological ecosystems.
