“AI Horizons” Research Initiative – Special Session at LINK IT&EdTech25

The Artificial Intelligence Association is hosting a Special Session at the third LINK IT & EdTech International Conference – LINK IT&EdTech25, dedicated to the “AI Horizons” Research Initiative.

Artificial intelligence is transforming industries, education, and society at an unprecedented pace. The “AI Horizons” Special Session aims to identify emerging AI trends beyond 2026, establish a global network of leading AI experts from 15+ countries, and explore AI’s transformative impact on learning, creativity, business, and problem-solving. It will gather researchers, educators, and industry leaders to discuss cutting-edge AI applications, ethical implications, and the future of human-AI collaboration.

As part of the international science and technology foresight project, the “AI Horizons” Research Initiative focuses on identifying high-potential areas and research topics in AI that are expected to have the greatest impact in the medium and long term. The goal is to map global AI development perspectives for the coming years, build a 15+ country expert network, and publish a strategic foresight report outlining the future landscape of AI.

Key focus areas include:

  • Architectures, machine learning (ML) algorithms, optimization, and mathematics

  • Computations for AI

  • Data for AI

  • Foundation and generative models

  • Security, trust, and explainability

  • Task-specific AI (Narrow AI)

  • Management, decision-making, and agent/multi-agent systems

  • Elements of AGI

  • Human-machine interaction

  • Socio-humanistic and economic aspects
