Fabrizio Calzavarini
22nd Annual Conference of the Italian Association for Cognitive Science: Natural and Artificial Intelligence: between Skills and Biases
Torino, Italy — September 9–11, 2026
The Italian Association for Cognitive Science (AISC) invites submissions for AISC 2026, an interdisciplinary forum for researchers in all areas of cognitive science. We particularly encourage submissions addressing skills and biases in both natural and artificial intelligent systems, but we welcome contributions from all areas of cognitive science, including theoretical, empirical, computational, philosophical, and interdisciplinary work that advances understanding of intelligence across biological, social, and artificial domains.
