        Subject: [Registration] AI Literacy for the Ancient World Conference, July 1-3, 2026 - University of Reading

Dear colleagues,

With apologies for cross-posting.

I am pleased to share the programme and registration details for the iGAIAS 2026
Conference <https://edwardasross.wordpress.com/events/ai-literacy-for-the-
ancient-world/>.

AI Literacy for the Ancient World
Second Meeting of the iGAIAS Network 
<https://edwardasross.wordpress.com/igaias-network/>
July 1-3, 2026

This meeting aims to bring together teachers, researchers, and practitioners in
ancient world studies, broadly conceived, to address the issues related to the
use and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools across our
disciplines. We are aware that the use of AI models is increasing exponentially
across all areas of daily life, but recognition and understanding of the issues
related to AI models is not increasing at the same rate. This meeting will focus
on how best to promote AI literacy and current AI ethics issues among those in
our educational and work contexts.

This conference is supported by the Department of Classics at the University of
Reading.

Venue: University of Reading (in-person); Microsoft Teams (online)
