AI for Humanity Impact Forum Returns for Its Second Time after 2024

Following our inaugural AI for Humanity Forum in 2024, opened by NTUC Assistant Secretary General and Member of Parliament, Mr. Patrick Tay as our Guest of Honor, this second edition moves from aspiration to impact—exploring how sustainable and governable frontier AI, responsible investment, purposeful commercialization and real-world applications can create a new blue ocean of opportunity: making AI that does well by doing good, and making AI for Humanity more profitable than AI.

AICON 2026 conference is cofounded and incubated by AIII as one of the AI for Humanity impact initiatives to champion “AI for Everyone” with the objectives of empowering “AI for Public Good” and “AI as Public Goods” with AI Literacy and Fluency.

AICON 2026 - Championing “AI for Everyone”

The inaugural AICON 2025 was opened by Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State for Digital Development & Information as our Guest of Honor and has attracted over 2,000 attendees from more than 10 countries. This year, we are reimagining the experience entirely: immersive, hands-on participation replaces passive listening, so every visitor — regardless of background or age — can truly “play with” AI.

On 8–9 October 2026, AiCON, Asia’s human-first AI festival, makes its much-anticipated return to *SCAPE Singapore. Held during the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, the event — hailed as the “World’s #1 AI Consumer Show”.
