Artificiality Summit 2026: Unknowing

We're thrilled to announce the Artificiality Summit 2026.

AI is dissolving inherited boundaries—between knowing and not-knowing, between thinking and acting, between who we have been and who we might still become. The world is changing faster than our mental models can keep up. Our instinct is to search for answers.

This year, we choose to embrace something else: Unknowing.

For centuries, humans believed we were the only species with reason, agency, self-improvement. Then came AI. We are no longer the only system that learns, adapts, or acts with agency. And when the boundary of intelligence moves, the boundary of humanity moves with it.

Unknowing isn't ignorance—it's a necessary release of inherited assumptions. We don't yet know what AI will become, and we don't yet know what we will become in relationship to it. Unknowing is the space between, the place where neither side is fixed and something new can emerge.

If AI changes how we think, and how we think shapes who we become, then how might AI change what it means to be human?

Unknowing is how we stay conscious and make space for emergence. Becoming is what happens when we do.

Past attendees have described the Summit as feeling like "the first TED," "the first Royal Society," "the first Burning Man." We can't promise any of those things. What we can promise is a space to think together about questions that matter—without pretending we already have the answers.
