As technology continues to reshape how we create, communicate, and experience the world, MITCON 2026, hosted by Farook College (Autonomous), Kozhikode, Kerala, India, sets out to explore the evolving relationship between Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence.
This year’s International Conference on Media and Artificial Intelligence looks beyond innovation’s surface to ask how AI transforms the creative, cultural, and communicative dimensions of multimedia. It invites deep reflection on how AI intersects with technology, politics, gender, ethics, and humanism, shaping the stories we tell and how we tell them.
At the heart of MITCON 2026 lies the idea of familiarising and localising AI, making it relevant to our languages, cultures, and creative traditions. The goal is to ensure that AI grows through local insight and human creativity, not as a distant or universal force.
The conference aims to inspire meaningful conversations on how AI can be a tool for empowerment and inclusion, fostering innovation that is human-centred, ethical, and culturally grounded.
Ultimately, MITCON 2026 envisions a future where Artificial Intelligence and Multimedia work together, not to replace human creativity, but to amplify it, rooted in culture, context, and conscience.
