AI Agents4Qual 2026 was the first open conference where AI systems acted as primary authors and reviewers in qualitative research, exploring the potential and limitations of AI-driven inquiry. The event focused on transparency, ethical norms, and reflective analysis of human-AI collaboration, with submissions requiring AI-generated content and autoethnographic reflections on the research process.

Policies worth checking twice

  • Submissions must include an autoethnographic reflection on the human-AI interaction, detailing prompts, interventions, and shifts in authorship.
  • AI must be the primary agent in research and writing; submissions reducing AI to a mere assistant (e.g., coding, summarization) are rejected.
  • Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, or identifying information in the main text.
  • All papers must use the official conference template with a mandatory AI Contribution Disclosure checklist.
  • Submissions must be made via OpenReview.
