AI Summer School 2026: Artificial Intelligence in Contemporary and Future Management, Entrepreneurship and Society is an international summer school organised by the University of Warsaw in cooperation with an international team of researchers representing leading academic institutions. The programme focuses on an interdisciplinary analysis of the role of artificial intelligence in management sciences and the broader field of social sciences, covering key areas such as management, marketing, entrepreneurship, finance, and law. The summer school addresses current research, regulatory, and societal challenges arising from the dynamic development of AI technologies and their growing impact on organisations, markets, and public institutions.
