Royal College of Art
RCA AI Festival
Date
Mon 16 - Fri 20 Feb 2026
The RCA AI Festival will be a high-energy gathering for thinkers, artists, leaders, and critics shaping the future of artificial intelligence in art and design.
Through a visual exhibition, talks, workshops, live demonstrations, and debates, the festival explores not just what AI can do, but what it should do.
From cutting-edge research and practice-based applications to ethics, creativity, and human impact, the festival brings together experts and curious minds to challenge assumptions and confront uncomfortable questions. This is not a showcase, but a space for rigorous thinking and bold experimentation led by our research community.
Whether you’re developing AI systems, integrating them into art, business, regulating them, or simply trying to understand how they will reshape society, the RCA AI Festival will equip you with insight and perspective to engage with AI responsibly and creatively.
