Steven Jones presented the CIC’s paper on Requirements for Aligned, Dynamic Conflict Resolution at AAAI-26, the annual conference of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.  AAAI was an energizing opportunity to share CIC’s latest research with one of the world’s leading AI communities. Surrounded by cutting-edge work spanning learning, reasoning, and real-world AI applications, the conference offered a dynamic environment for thoughtful discussion, new collaborations, and fresh perspectives on where the field is headed. Steven’s presentation sparked engaging conversations with researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, providing valuable feedback and opening doors to future partnerships. Conferences like AAAI highlight not only how quickly AI is advancing, but also how important it is to connect ideas across disciplines—and we’re excited to build on this momentum as we continue developing this line of work.
