The international seminar AI meets Language 2 builds on the success of AI meets Language (2025), which was highly well received, and returns to provide a space for exchange and reflection on the emerging connections between applied linguistics and artificial intelligence (AI). In a context where natural language has become a central axis of technological developments, this event will bring together leading scholars from different universities to explore how AI tools are transforming language analysis.

It will take place on 13th November 2026; it will be a hybrid event (held both online and in person) and free of charge for all attendees. It will take place in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Arts at Universidad de Córdoba (Spain) and will feature six keynote lectures delivered by international experts in computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), machine translation, discourse analysis, language industry, terminology, and misinformation, addressing both theoretical foundations and the most recent applications of AI in language studies.

Finally, the seminar will include one roundtable discussion involving the speakers and other invited experts, providing a forum for questions and answers on the topics addressed throughout the event, as well as on the future of applied linguistics in relation to AI and its implications for research.

AI meets Language 2 is aimed at researchers, lecturers, master’s and postgraduate students, and professionals interested in the interdisciplinary intersection of language, technology, and society. The seminar will also offer an opportunity to strengthen academic networks and foster new lines of collaborative research.
