AI is advancing faster than many organizations can adapt, raising urgent questions about how emerging technologies can be deployed reliably and at scale. The 2026 MIT AI Conference looks ahead to the next chapter of AI—examining not only what is possible, but what is practical, responsible, and achievable in the years to come.

This year, MIT’s Enterprise Additive Manufacturing course coincides with RAPID + TCT, North America’s largest additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing event, taking place April 13-17, 2026 in Boston, MA. The course will combine regular lecture and workshop programming with an integrated experience at RAPID, broadening exposure to key stakeholders in the AM industry and the latest technologies and applications.

Discover how the Climate Change: Science, Solutions, and Sustainability course can help you better understand the forces shaping climate change, evaluate the solutions being advanced across sectors, and apply this knowledge to your own professional context. Bring your questions to the virtual open house and learn what to expect before the program begins.

AI is reshaping every industry. Do you have the architecture to keep up?
