Abstract: IEEE and the Future of AI As artificial intelligence moves from experimental tools to the core of global infrastructure, IEEE stands at the forefront of defining the technical and ethical frameworks that will shape the next decade of innovation. This session explores the critical “megatrends” driving the industry in 2026, including the rise of agentic AI, the integration of autonomous systems in healthcare, and the shifting landscape of workforce transformation. Beyond the raw computational power, experts will discuss the vital role of IEEE’s “Ethically Aligned Design” and new global standards in building public trust and ensuring cybersecurity resilience. Join us for an expert-led look at how engineering excellence and human-centric governance are converging to guide the future of intelligent systems for the benefit of humanity.
