Augmented Intelligence 2026 
Join us for two days of hands-on workshops
Experience the latest in teaching with AI during reading week. We're inviting all creatives and educators to participate and gain a creative and pedagogical edge. We'll be focusing on augmented Intelligence (instead of artificial intelligence) as the goal is to level-up. This is your opportunity connect, learn, update your processes, and enhance your skill set.

AI8 was formed as a series of workshops and speaking engagements that exhibit how AI can effectively be used to improve the student experience at all levels of education. The focus has since changed to support industry and practice.

Call for Proposals
We are excited to announce the call for proposals for our upcoming conference, AI 8 (Augmented Intelligence 8). This conference will focus on the innovative use of artificial intelligence to drive creative outcomes across various fields such as arts, music, and design. We invite proposals for engaging, interactive, and hands-on workshops that explore the intersection of AI and creativity. Exploring AI in creative workflows, best practices, and interesting use cases are all welcome.
