ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The annual conference on Artificial Life - ALIFE 2025 - will take place in the heart of  Kyoto,  Japan from 6-10 October 2025.

This year’s theme is Ciphers of Life, encouraging participants to explore the many ways that life encodes information, creates internal languages, and interacts in encrypted ways with its environment.

Artificial life research focuses on understanding, replicating, and extending the fundamental principles of life. Much of this research involves creating artificial systems that exhibit life-like behaviors.
