WELCOMING SPEECH
2026 International
Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Simulation (CAIS 2026)
28–30 September 2026 |
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Distinguished Guests, Esteemed Keynote Speakers,
Distinguished Researchers and Academicians, Industry Professionals, Members of
the Organising and Technical Committees, Ladies and Gentlemen,
A
very warm welcome to the 2026
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Simulation – CAIS 2026.
It
is my great pleasure and honour to welcome all of you to this important
international gathering, here in Malaysia, and particularly to the Institute of
Visual Informatics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
To
our distinguished international
participants, I would like to extend a special welcome. We are delighted
that you have travelled from different countries and institutions to join us.
Your presence truly reflects the international spirit of this conference and
strengthens the opportunity for meaningful academic and professional exchange.
CAIS
2026 provides an important platform for researchers, engineers, academicians
and industry practitioners to come together to share knowledge, exchange ideas
and explore new possibilities in the rapidly evolving fields of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation.
The
theme and scope of this conference are particularly timely. Artificial
Intelligence is transforming the way we work, learn, make decisions and develop
technological solutions, while simulation provides powerful approaches for
modelling, testing, predicting and understanding complex systems.
The
convergence of these two areas opens exciting opportunities.
CAIS
2026 therefore provides an excellent environment for discussing both
fundamental research and practical applications. The conference programme
encompasses a broad range of areas, including the foundations of AI and machine
intelligence, applied AI and domain solutions, intelligent simulation and
digital twins, robotics, virtual and mixed reality, human-computer interaction,
visual informatics and knowledge engineering.
I
believe that the true value of an international conference goes beyond the
presentation of research papers.
A
conference such as CAIS 2026 creates opportunities to meet new colleagues, establish research
collaborations, exchange perspectives across disciplines, inspire new research
questions and transform ideas into meaningful innovations.
In
particular, I hope that our discussions during these three days will encourage
collaboration between academia and industry. Many of the challenges facing
society today are complex and cannot be addressed by a single discipline or
institution. They require researchers, practitioners and technology developers
to work together and combine their knowledge and expertise.
I
would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and express my sincere
appreciation to the conference
chairs, general co-chairs, technical programme committee, publication
committee, organising committee, reviewers, keynote speakers and all members of
the supporting teams.
Organising
an international academic conference requires tremendous effort, commitment and
cooperation. Your contributions have made this gathering possible, and we are
sincerely grateful for your dedication.
To
all presenters, I encourage you to share your research openly and
enthusiastically. I hope you will not only present your findings, but also take
the opportunity to listen to different perspectives, engage in constructive
discussions and identify possibilities for future collaboration.
To
all participants, I encourage you to make full use of this opportunity. Ask
questions. Share ideas. Meet researchers outside your immediate area of
expertise. Sometimes, the most valuable outcome of a conference is an
unexpected conversation that leads to a new idea, a new collaboration or even a
new direction in research.
With
these opportunities also come important responsibilities. As researchers and
technology professionals, we must ensure that innovation is accompanied by responsibility, integrity, transparency
and respect for society. Scientific progress should ultimately
contribute to improving lives and addressing real-world challenges.
I
hope CAIS 2026 will therefore be more than a conference for presenting
research. I hope it will be a place where ideas meet people, research meets application, and
collaboration leads to innovation.
Finally,
on behalf of the organising committee and the host institution, I would like to
once again extend our warmest welcome to all participants of CAIS 2026.
May
the next three days be filled with stimulating presentations, meaningful
discussions, new friendships and fruitful collaborations.
Once again, welcome to CAIS 2026, welcome to Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia, and welcome to Malaysia.
I
wish everyone a very successful and memorable conference.
Thank you, and I wish you all a very
pleasant day.
Prof. Dr. Riza Sulaiman
Director
Institute
of Visual Informatics (IVI)

Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
