On October 27, 2026, Prof. ing. dr. Adina Magda Florea represented HRIA at RITE 2026, offering a perspective that connected the conference’s central theme — The Trustworthy Internet — with the emerging landscape of AI systems. Her contribution delivered in the Plenary Session on Intelligent Infrastructure, focused on the transition “from intelligent models to trustworthy autonomous systems,” highlighting how AI is reshaping the foundations of Internet resilience, identity protection, and next generation network architecture.
RITE 2026 unfolded under the central theme “The Trustworthy Internet. Resilience, Identity and Intelligent Infrastructure”, bringing together Internet service providers, content creators, researchers, policymakers and technology leaders. The conference opened an essential dialogue between producers and consumers of digital technologies, addressing how the Internet’s architecture evolves from unstructured data to cloud‑based multimedia services.
The event highlighted how emerging technologies — AI, cloud computing, IoT and Quantum Computing — are reshaping not only Internet services but also the infrastructure and architectural principles that sustain them.
Across plenary sessions and roundtables, speakers explored a wide spectrum of themes — from intelligent, AI‑powered network infrastructure and the new challenges of cybersecurity and identity protection in the age of agentic AI, to the evolving future of content distribution, the tightening landscape of data privacy and compliance, the technical convergence between edge and core systems, and the broader question of how digital business models can remain sustainable in an Internet undergoing rapid transformation.
For HRIA, RITE 2026 reaffirmed the institute’s mission to advance trustworthy, high‑impact AI.
