Welcome to AIEI 2026
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence (AIEI 2026) targets the cutting-edge intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and emotional intelligence (EI). While AI is profoundly transforming industries and social governance, emotional intelligence has become a critical dimension for advancing human-centric intelligent systems. As AI technologies are widely deployed in decision-making, healthcare, education and public services, system performance relies not only on computational capability, but also on the ability to understand human values, empathy and emotional needs.
The integration of AI and EI fosters innovative applications, including empathetic mental health tools, adaptive educational systems, emotion-aware intelligent robots and human-oriented organizational intelligence. Meanwhile, it also presents emerging challenges in algorithmic ethics, user trust, cultural adaptation and human-machine emotional interaction. As a high-level global academic event, AIEI 2026 aims to bridge advanced intelligent technology and emotional intelligence research.
