The Fifth Serbian International Conference on Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI2026)

Dear Madam/Sir,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Fifth Serbian International Conference on Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI2026) which will be held in Kragujevac, Serbia, on May 20th – 21st, 2026.

Kragujevac

The University of Kragujevac celebrates 50 years since its founding, so this fifth conference is again taking place in Kragujevac.

Kragujevac holds historical significance as the inaugural capital of modern Serbia. With a two-century industrial legacy, the town is renowned for its willingness to embrace new ideas and businesses. It is also home to skilled and diligent workers, well-educated youth and a rich cultural heritage.

Today, Kragujevac stands as a leader in the economic development of the Šumadija district, fostering a community of successful individuals. It serves as a central hub for industrial and economic growth, as well as administrative, educational, health, cultural, and sporting activities within the region.

Conference

AAI2026 will offer an exceptional forum for both Serbian and international participants to share cutting-edge research, knowledge, and results related to innovative theories, methodologies, and applications of artificial intelligence. This includes subfields such as deep learning and machine learning, spanning across various domains such as medicine, economics, education, law, smart cities, government, and industry. The conference welcomes abstracts from all sub-areas of artificial intelligence.

Additionally, AAI2026 aims to create a collaborative platform for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to exchange information on the latest developments in artificial intelligence. The conference emphasizes fostering research connections, encouraging authors to showcase the benefits of information technologies across sectors. Innovative research ideas focused on utilizing artificial intelligence to solve problems, whether in R&D or real-time applications, are highly welcomed. We also encourage submissions of papers detailing advanced prototypes, systems, methodologies, tools, techniques, and comprehensive survey papers that outline future research directions.
