The Accountable AI Research Conference, held on February 6, 2026, brought together scholars from law and other fields. The risks and limitations of AI had been the subject of scholarly attention for many years. Yet there has been a dramatic upsurge in AI business adoption, technical capabilities, investment, and public policy activity. This conference centered scholarship with a normative, legal, or public policy focus, and emphasized work with the potential for impact on business practice and government actions.
