AI+Education Summit 2026
The AI Inflection Point: What, How, and Why We Learn
Now in its fourth year, the AI + Education Summit convenes researchers, educators, technology leaders, policymakers, and philanthropic partners at a moment of real uncertainty—and unprecedented possibility. AI is advancing faster than our learning systems, raising urgent questions about creativity, critical thinking, fairness, trust, opportunity, and what it truly means to learn.
This year’s gathering grapples with that inflection point: how AI, grounded in the learning sciences, can strengthen learning rather than weaken it, expand creativity and critical thinking rather than narrow them, and help us move education from universal access to universal learning for every learner.
The AI + Education Summit is co-hosted by the Stanford Accelerator for Learning and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).

Ashesh Rambachan | From Next-Token Prediction to Automatic Induction of Automata
Sequence data is ubiquitous in economics — job histories in labor economics, diagnosis and treatment sequences in health economics, strategic interactions in game theory. Generative sequence models can learn to predict these sequences well, but their complexity makes it hard to extract interpretable economic insights from their predictions.
