Tentative Schedule
Summit Agenda
Humanity & AGI Summit 2026 is designed as a concentrated day of keynote,
dialogue, and roundtable discussions on the shift from generative AI to
embodied intelligence, robotics, governance, and real-world deployment.
The schedule below is tentative and subject to change as speakers and
session details are finalized.
Morning
Keynote and framing
Humanity, AGI, and the shift from digital intelligence to real-world agency
Late morning
Research dialogue
Evidence, reliability, robotics, and what embodied intelligence must prove next
Midday
Technical roundtables
Robot learning, foundation models, physical reasoning, planning, and deployment
Afternoon
Company and capital sessions
Startups, commercialization, infrastructure, investment, and robotics ecosystems
Closing
Governance and future implications
Safety, society, civilization-scale questions, and what responsible builders do next
Join Humanity & AGI Summit 2026 at Stanford Faculty Club.

Why it matters
Embodied intelligence is where models meet the real world.
Generative AI made language, code, and media programmable. The harder frontier is embodied intelligence: systems that can perceive uncertain environments, learn from interaction, plan under constraints, and act reliably in the physical world.
That shift will reshape robotics, manufacturing, science, work, capital, and policy. Humanity & AGI Summit 2026 brings researchers, founders, operators, and investors together for one focused day at Stanford Faculty Club to examine where physical AI is actually going next.
