We are excited to invite you to submit your papers for the upcoming Cyber Worlds 2026 conference track dedicated to AI and Machine Learning, which will take place on 15-17 December 2026 at the University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK. This track aims to bring together young and experienced researchers and scholars in the field to share innovative research, discuss new ideas, and explore applications in various domains.

We welcome submissions that cover a diverse range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Learning Algorithms for Cyberworlds: Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning; Deep neural networks; Self-supervised and foundation models; Online and continual learning for dynamic virtual environments, etc.
• Multimodal AI and Perception: Learning from vision, audio, text, motion, and haptics; Multimodal fusion and representation learning; Cross-modal generation and understanding; Embodied and perceptual AI in cyberworlds, etc.
• Intelligent Agents and Digital Humans: AI-driven avatars and agents; Behaviour modelling and simulation; Social and emotional intelligence; Autonomous decision-making in shared virtual worlds, etc.
• Trustworthy and Human-Centered AI: Explainable and interpretable AI; Ethical and responsible AI; Bias mitigation and fairness; Privacy-aware and secure AI systems in cyberspace, etc.

Please submit your papers by 12 June via our online submission system. All papers will undergo a peer-review process and like in past Cyberworlds conferences, the conference proceedings with all accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Besides, the extended version of the best full papers will be considered for publication in special issues of journals.
