Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference 2026 – KSU Prototype Living of Tomorrow (PLOT) Launch Event

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 📝 EVENT DESCRIPTION ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── We are organizing the inaugural Artificial Super Intelligence Conference (ASIConf), a forward-looking event centered on AI and its growing impact across research, industry, infrastructure, healthcare, robotics, and intelligent environments. The conference is held as part of the launch event for the Prototype Living of Tomorrow (PLOT) initiative at Kennesaw State University, with support from KSU and the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Chapter, Atlanta Section. The event features a plenary keynote, five invited talks, a panel discussion, five technical tracks covering Foundation Models & LLMs, AI Safety & Ethics, Neural Architecture, Autonomous Systems, and Cognitive Intelligence, along with research paper presentations, a poster session, and a closing banquet. Our speaker lineup includes industry practitioners and faculty from multiple universities. ASIConf aims to create a substantive, welcoming forum for researchers, innovators, students, and community partners to explore what lies ahead in AI and intelligent systems. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 🔬 TECHNICAL TRACKS ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1️⃣ Foundation Models & LLMs — Transformers, scaling laws, multimodal, alignment 2️⃣ AI Safety & Ethics — Robustness, interpretability, privacy, bias mitigation 3️⃣ Neural Architecture — NAS, neuromorphic computing, quantum ML, compression 4️⃣ Autonomous Systems — RL, multi-agent, perception, human-robot interaction 5️⃣ Cognitive Intelligence — Meta-learning, causal reasoning, knowledge graphs ⭐ PLOT Launch (Special) — Intelligent environments, living labs, campus-scale AI ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 👥 TARGET AUDIENCE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 🎓 Faculty & Researchers 🧑‍🎓 Students 🏢 Industry Professionals & Practitioners 🤝 Community Partners & Sponsors Expected Attendance: 100–200 attendees ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 📍 VENUE ADDRESS ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Venue Name: Prillaman Hall Address Line 1: 520 Parliament Garden Way NW Address Line 2: Kennesaw State University City: Kennesaw State/Province: Georgia Postal Code: 30144 Country/Region: United States Co-sponsored by: Kennesaw State University Speaker(s): Shyam, Fei, Savneet, Bhawesh, Faran, Rudra, Rajesh, Nishad, Priya, Faizan, Umair, Yashvant Agenda: ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 🕐 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 7:00 – 8:00 AM ☕ Registration & Check-In Badge pickup, welcome materials, and light refreshments 8:00 – 9:00 AM 🎤 Opening Remarks & Plenary Keynote Welcome address, PLOT Initiative overview, Keynote by Shyam Kandavalli 9:00 – 10:15 AM 🔬 Track 1: Foundation Models & LLMs Transformer architectures, scaling laws, multimodal models, alignment 10:15 – 11:30 AM 🛡️ Track 2: AI Safety & Ethics Adversarial robustness, alignment, explainability, bias & privacy 11:30 – 12:30 PM 🍽️ Lunch & Poster Session Networking, informal discussions, interactive poster presentations 12:30 – 1:45 PM 🧠 Track 3: Neural Architecture Architecture search, neuromorphic computing, quantum ML, compression 1:45 – 3:00 PM 🤖 Track 4: Autonomous Systems Reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, embodied AI, HRI 3:00 – 4:15 PM 💡 Track 5: Cognitive Intelligence Meta-learning, causal reasoning, knowledge representation, continual learning 4:15 – 5:00 PM 💬 Panel Discussion Expert panel on the future of ASI & intelligent environments 5:00 – 5:30 PM 🏆 Closing Remarks & Awards Ceremony Best Overall Paper, Best Student Paper, five track-specific awards 6:00 – 8:00 PM 🥂 Conference Banquet Networking, dining, and celebration — included with registration Room: Main Entrance, Bldg: Prillaman Hall, 520 Parliament Garden Way NW, Kennesaw, Georgia, United States, 30144
