AICHE 2026 brings scholars, philosophers, scientists, theologians, students, and the public together for an interdisciplinary conversation about human enhancement in African contexts.
Transhumanism, science, and religion in Africa
The conference explores how emerging technologies – from artificial intelligence and biotechnology to neurotechnology and life extension – meet questions of ethics, culture, spirituality, public policy, and human dignity across the continent.
Hosted in Abuja with virtual participation, AICHE creates room for serious exchange between technical, philosophical, religious, and public perspectives.
