Workshop on Artificial Intelligence with and for Learning Sciences.
Theme: Responsible and
Inclusive Use of AI in Education.
WAILS 2026 is the 3rd edition of the Workshop on Artificial Intelligence with and for
Learning Sciences. Building on two successful editions (Salerno 2024, Cagliari 2025), this year focuses
on the responsible, ethical, inclusive, and equitable use of AI in educational contexts.
If AI makes learning easier, are we still learning or merely optimizing task completion?
AI systems can support reasoning, creativity, and decision-making. Yet they can also obscure
understanding, reinforce bias, and reduce cognitive effort.
WAILS 2026 is grounded in a simple premise:
AI should not replace thinking, it should make thinking more visible, critical, and meaningful.
We invite the community to critically examine and shape the role of AI in education through evidence,
design, and theory.
Transparency, explainability, and accountability of AI-powered learning tools.
Fostering fair and equitable AI-driven learning for all.
Fostering learner agency and keeping humans at the center of AI-driven education.
Fostering inclusion through AI-powered game-based learning.
Exploring sociological, psychological, philosophical, and policy dimensions of AI in education.
Developing curricula, pedagogies, and teacher training for responsible AI education.
Confirmed keynote speakers will be announced progressively. Stay tuned.
WAILS 2026 website is live.
