This conference-style event is for faculty, staff, and students at UCF to learn about AI and its applications. There are beginner/basics breakout sessions as well as more advanced ones. AI Day occurs each semester.
Spring 2026
The Spring AI Day will be for students, faculty, and staff. It has not yet been scheduled.
AI Research Day
A second spring 2026 event will be the AI Research Day, which is reserved for faculty to explore how AI might assist their research efforts.
Hosted by the UCF Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IAI) + AI for All Initiative
The Institute of Artificial Intelligence and the AI for All initiative are pleased to announce UCF AI Spring Research Day which will be held on February 6, 2026.
This interdisciplinary event will showcase the variety and impact of researchers engaged in the core foundations of AI as well as those applying AI to various disciplines in science, engineering, business, medicine, humanities and arts, etc. This is a great opportunity for UCF IAI faculty, who are involved in foundational AI research, and other UCF faculty involved in applications of AI to connect and explore interdisciplinary research collaborations.
The day will feature:
• Talks from leading UCF researchers.
• 90-second Lightning presentations highlighting projects and collaborations.
• A faculty panel discussion exploring the future of AI across disciplines.
We invite faculty engaged in AI research or applying AI within their fields to submit an abstract (up to one page) highlighting their work in areas where artificial intelligence is advancing discovery, creativity, or innovation.
Examples of AI research areas include, among others:
• AI in Natural Sciences: accelerating molecular discovery and reaction prediction; AI in Space and Astronomy
• AI in Health and Medicine: predictive diagnostics, personalized treatment, medical imaging, and clinical decision support
• AI in the Arts and Humanities: generative media, digital storytelling, cultural analytics, and creative co-design
• AI in Business, Economics, and Education: market forecasting, adaptive learning systems, and organizational intelligence
• AI in Science and Engineering: materials discovery, environmental modeling, robotics, inverse problems and smart infrastructure
• AI in Social and Behavioral Sciences: human-AI collaboration, ethics, bias, and the study of social dynamics
Questions about the event or poster-selection process can be sent to melody.halbert@ucf.edu
Submit Abstract by January 15, 2026 here: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9yOpSBo086ZTlZA
Abstracts should not be more than 1 page. Please include research title, authors/co-authors, your department, and college.
Fall 2026
Our usual topic for Fall AI Days is productivity gains that come from the use of AI. Fundamentally, this means exploring AI Fluency in all its aspects, including prompt engineering and various uses of AI for co-creation as a “thought partner.”
