Together with the AIM at QMUL, the AMAAI Lab is organizing the First Workshop on Emerging AI Technologies for Music (EAIM 2026) as part of the AAAI conference 2026 in Singapore.

The workshop will bring together researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners working at the intersection of AI and music. We’ll explore how advances in generative models, multimodal learning, personalization, explainability, and human–AI collaboration are shaping the future of music creation, analysis, and interaction.

Highlights:
- Proceedings published in PMLR (Proceedings of Machine Learning Research)
- Keynote speakers from industry, sharing real-world perspectives
- A unique platform to connect academia and industry in emerging AI for music
- Part of AAAI, one of the leading AI conferences.
- Singapore is 32C (90F) all year round, so come take a break from winter with us!

When & Where: EAIM 2026 @ AAAI, Singapore (26-27 Jan 2026)
Call for Papers & Details: https://amaai-lab.github.io/EAIM2026/

Organizers: Keshav Bhandari, Abhinaba Roy, Simon Colton, and Dorien Herremans.

The workshop is organized jointly by the AMAAI Lab at Singapore University of Technology and Design and QMUL.

We warmly invite submissions of original research, creative systems, and critical perspectives on emerging AI technologies for music. Contributions may include theoretical work, empirical studies, system designs, evaluations, or artistic explorations. This year, we particularly value submissions that emphasize controllability, interpretability, explainability, personalization, human-AI interaction, and collaboration in music systems.

Looking forward to inspiring discussions and collaborations in Singapore!
