Why You Should Attend AI Days 2026

For four years, the AI² Center's AI Days brought together hundreds of bright minds from various disciplines across UF to discuss the future of artificial intelligence in the classroom and research labs. Ideas ignite, innovation thrives, and AI takes center stage.

In 2025, more than 90 interdisciplinary teams went head-to-head in our student competitions: Gator Tank, Gator Hack, and Gator Create. Over 800 participants joined speaker events and panel sessions to explore how AI is transforming every field. At this event, the AI² Center also recognized remarkable AI faculty.

We hope to see you in October 26-29, 2026 in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom for the Fifth Annual AI Days!
