The global economy is being reshaped by the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across sectors. From financial services and trade to labor markets and public administration, AI is changing how economies operate, how decisions are made, and how value is generated and distributed. These changes are affecting both the structure of industries and the roles of institutions, with data and algorithms becoming central to economic activity. AI is being applied to optimize supply chains, assess creditworthiness, detect fraud, automate services, and support policy planning. These applications are altering traditional economic relationships and introducing new ways to measure productivity, manage risk, and engage with consumers. At the same time, the growing use of AI raises concerns about fairness, access, transparency, and regulation. Automation may displace certain types of work, and AI-based systems can reinforce biases or create information asymmetries. Differences in digital infrastructure, institutional capacity, and skills also affect how countries benefit from AI.
AI for Global Economy (AIGE-2026) is a forum for examining how AI is shaping economic systems and what this means for policy, business, and society. The conference brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and technologists to study the role of AI in economic change, share findings, and discuss practical approaches to its use. It invites work that connects technological development with economic reasoning and policy design, including case studies, models, and evaluations from different contexts.
AIGE-2026 focuses on how AI is influencing areas such as macroeconomic forecasting, digital finance, labor market shifts, international trade, regulatory design, and public service delivery. It also explores issues such as data governance, intellectual property, and cross-border cooperation in digital economies. The goal is to provide a space where participants can assess both the potential and the risks of AI, and develop approaches that support wider access, responsible use, and long-term economic resilience.
The conference encourages collaboration across disciplines and sectors. It aims to help build knowledge, guide policy, and support the development of AI applications that are aligned with broader economic goals. As AI continues to influence economic systems at all levels, AIGE-2026 serves as a timely space to reflect, share, and plan for the road ahead.
All papers, both invited and contributed, will be subjected to double blind review by at least 2 experts from the committees. After a careful reviewing process before the final decision and after a detailed presentation at the conference, all the accepted papers will be published in a proceeding, by a reputed publisher.
