About MAI 2026
The aim of this school is to bring together students from the Caucasian countries—Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia—to introduce them to the mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence. The summer school will feature lectures delivered by world-renowned scientists working in this field. The program will cover topics such as algebra, functional analysis, logic, and mathematical statistics in the context of artificial intelligence.
The summer school will be held in parallel with the XVI International Conference of the Georgian Mathematical Union (August 31–September 4, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, Georgia) and the Second International Conference Algebra, Analysis, and Applications (Kutaisi International University, Georgia).
