#AAAI2026 social media round up: part 1

The 40th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence is currently taking place in Singapore, the first time that the event has been held outside of North America. The opening two days of the conference hosted the tutorials, the bridge programme, and the doctoral and undergraduate consortium, with the main conference – including the invited talks and technical programme – starting on Thursday.

We take a glance at social media to see what people have been enjoying at the event so far.

Last night’s student reception at #AAAI26 was a great success!

Just attended the New Faculty Highlight at #AAAI2026 featuring Alexander Rodríguez.

His work on 'Trustworthy AI for Decision Making in Population Health' tackles the real-world challenges of multimodal data scarcity and noisy signals. @aaai.org

Differential reinforcement learning provides a pathway towards long-term autonomy. If you’re around at #AAAI2026 today, come say hi at poster 1251 in Hall 4 where I’ll be presenting our new work in which we derive the first *distributional* differential RL algorithm! 🚀
