The Third International Conference on AI new Technologies and open Discussions: ICAITD 2026

ICAITD Conference Policy Statement –Promoting Innovation Beyond Traditional Boundaries
(1) We sincerely welcome applications for the 3rd International Conference on AI emerging Technologies and open Discussions (ICAITD 2026), to be held in the vibrant and safe Oji district of Tokyo. Oji is a historic, friendly town with a park behind the station and a tram car. The conference will be held in Hoku-topia, a 17-story building that hosts numerous local cultural and artistic events. Please see the venue page for details.

(2) ICAITD 2026 is calling for research papers on the latest AI technologies, particularly AI agents that carry out AI research according to instructions, which has recently attracted attention, as well as research papers in which AI is used to write the paper itself. In addition, a conference "Agents4Science” on AI-driven research paper writing has been held by cutting-edge groups, primarily at Stanford University in Oct 2025. In the spring of 2025, an AI scientist achieved the remarkable feat of having a paper accepted for an ICLR workshop. https://iclr.cc/virtual/2025/37267

This time, we have scheduled at least two sessions covering research by AI scientists and research on AI agent paper writing. We are also accepting proposals for other sessions, including ethics and business applications. (Deadline: December 31, 2025)

ICAITD will explore cutting-edge technologies and create and provide a forum for their presentation.
One of its distinctive features is its commitment to promoting authors' research through peer review and discussion, contributing to the development of better papers.

ICAITD actively embraces the fragmentation and specialization of cutting-edge research fields and places emphasis on exploring cutting-edge areas. ICAITD's peer review process focuses on absolute evaluation of originality or novelty, rather than relative evaluation, to prevent unfairness caused by relative evaluation and ensure the selection of valuable papers as full papers. We promote the rapid dissemination of innovation and open discussion.
By providing a platform for emerging fields, interdisciplinary exploration, and pioneering ideas, ICAITD encourages bold, timely, and impactful research that shapes the future.

(3) ICAITD emphasizes transparency, fairness, absolute evaluation, and integrity in its peer review system. We adopt the following policies:
# We publish peer review criteria in advance so authors can clearly understand the criteria on which their research will be evaluated.
# We disclose reviewer feedback (anonymously) to promote constructive dialogue and the improvement of research content.
# We adopt an absolute evaluation system, where submitted papers are evaluated based on their individual features, rather than by comparison with other papers nor to adjust the number of accepted papers. This approach ensures that accepted papers are consistently of high quality and clearly demonstrate engineering originality or novelty, while fostering a more open, accountable, and constructive research environment.

The final version of the proceedings will be made publicly available via Open Access.

At ICAITD, we believe that transparency and fairness in peer review are essential to promoting meaningful research and building trust in the scientific process. (Note that non-engineering papers are judged based on values other than engineering originality or novelty.)

(4) When conferences have a large number of presentations and the schedule is overcrowded, presentation slots tend to be compressed and discussion time limited, which can result in valuable research presentation being rushed and audience understanding being lost. ICAITD takes a fundamentally different approach.

We believe that research should not only be presented, but also understood, questioned, and refined through dialogue.

(5) Our conference structure is based on the following principles.
# First, the manuscripts of accepted papers will be made available to participants as provisional versions with prohibiting secondary distribution, allowing each participant to engage in constructive pre-presentation discussions within Slack. In the period immediately prior to the presentation, all participants are encouraged to review the methodology and originality or novelty of other participants' papers and resolve any technical questions. Each full-paper presentation will be allocated a long time slot of approximately 25-30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation, 7 minutes for Q&A), allowing speakers ample time to fully present their ideas. While respecting the presenter's wishes, the chair and facilitator will enthusiastically ask questions and provide relevant topics, aiming to foster understanding and dissemination of the content in a way that resonates with participants. This may lead to increased discussion of useful future research themes, applications, and perspectives. It will also enhance the value of coffee breaks and working dinners. This will help participants form networks and discover as many researchers as possible who share an interest in their research. To achieve this, ICAITD2026 will gradually restrict submissions as the number of accepted papers approaches its target, and we ask for your understanding that in some cases we may declare submissions closed. We have already reserved two venue rooms for all three days, and as the number of presentations increases, we expect parallel sessions will allow all presentations to be fully delivered.
DOI will be added to proceedings.
