Zen in age of AI
#ZenAI Conference 2026, Zen in the age of AI aims to bring people together across multiple countries to discuss and draw attention to wellness and wellbeing as technological acceleration into artificial intelligence and robotics creates anxieties across a diversity of fields and human endeavours. Fikun Trust organised this conference as part of global community engagement under its Advocacy and Dialogue focus areas. We are grateful to Initiatives of Change New Zealand for their generous sponsorship of the #ZenAI Conference 2026. As part of a global organisation that works on peace building initiatives and dialogues, Initiatives of Change New Zealand’s involvement in the #ZenAI Conference aids Fikun Trust’s efforts of strengthening people’s inner peace and wellbeing while navigating this constantly shifting and vast landscape of anxieties brought on by technological advancements due to accelerated adoption and deployment of AI in all spheres of life. Fikun Trust also appreciate the numerous supporters, including Victoria University of Wellington for hosting this important advocacy campaign and global dialogue. For this 2026 edition of the #ZenAI Conference in Aotearoa New Zealand, we are privileged to be joined by keynote speakers, presenters and panelists from Canada, Croatia, Iran, Nigeria, and the United States of America.
