International Symposium on Knowledge and Systems Sciences
KSS 2026
“Knowledge Systems Sciences in the Era of Agentic AI”
November 13–15, 2026 • Auckland University of Technology • New Zealand
Knowledge Systems Sciences
in the Era of Agentic AI
As autonomous, goal-directed AI agents reshape how knowledge is created, organised, and acted upon, KSS 2026 brings together researchers and practitioners to examine how knowledge science and systems thinking must evolve. We explore the methods, models, and societal implications of intelligent systems that no longer merely assist — but plan, coordinate, and decide.
