by COLlive Editor · COLliveAfter more than 400 participants joined the inaugural gathering last year, the second annual virtual Chassidus and Artificial Intelligence Conference is set to return, once again bringing together educators, developers, tech entrepreneurs, and Chassidus learners from around the world to explore how emerging technology can advance hafotzas hamaayonois.
Building on the momentum of a first-of-its-kind event that drew a global audience in 5785, organizers have announced the return of the Chassidus and AI Conference for a second year. The free virtual conference is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026 / 29 Sivan, 5786, and registration is now open at ChassidusAI.com.
As with last year, the focus of the event is how modern tools based on artificial intelligence, including language models, vibe coding, and multimedia platforms, can be harnessed to further the mission of the Baal Shem Tov to bring the deepest teachings of Chassidus to every Jew, in every place, in a way that speaks to each person individually.
The inaugural conference, coordinated by Rabbi Zalman Abraham, gathered more than 400 participants and featured presentations on Torah-trained language models, searchable Torah knowledge bases, adaptive learning platforms, and AI-assisted translation of thousands of pages of Chassidus. Speakers spoke not only about the unprecedented potential of these tools to break barriers of geography, background, and language, but also about the responsibility of using them with care, guarding against errors and ensuring that everything produced remains faithful to authentic sources and mesorah.
This year’s program expands on those themes with a new slate of presenters. Among the speakers are:
Rabbi Asher Crispe, who will explore the future of AI and Chassidus — where the technology is heading and what it means for the way pnimiyus haTorah is learned, taught, and internalized in the years ahead.
Moishy Goldstein, who will share practical guidance on producing high-quality videos and multimedia, helping educators and content creators present Chassidus in a polished, compelling, and accessible way.
Rabbi Yossi Yaffe, who will address vibe coding and apps.
Rayi Stern, who will present his Torah API project, a tool designed to make authentic Torah sources programmatically available to developers building the next generation of learning applications.
Several additional speakers are expected to be announced in the coming days, continuing the conference’s aim of showcasing real, working projects and fostering collaboration among those advancing the field.
The conference is offered in Partnership with Rabbi Mendy Shishler‘s popular “AI for Shlichus” Whatsapp groups for shluchim.
The conference reflects a growing recognition within the Anash community that emerging technologies can be, and should be, elevated for kedushah. As Rabbi Abraham has described the initiative’s mission, recent advances in AI have opened possibilities for hafotzas hamaayonois that were unimaginable only a few years ago, and that the Rebbe’s emphasis on spreading the wellsprings outward is directly connected to bringing Moshiach.
Participation is free, though spaces are limited, with preference given to those actively involved in advancing the field. All registrants will receive access to the full recordings following the event.
