ISBN-13: 978-1-57735-906-7The Fortieth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence was held on January 20 -- January 27, 2026, Singapore. The program chairs were Chad Jenkins (University of Michigan, USA) and Matthew Taylor (University of Alberta, Canada).
AAAI-26 welcomed submissions on research that advances artificial intelligence, broadly conceived. The conference featured technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs. Many of these activities were tailored to the theme of bridges and were selected according to the highest standards, with additional programs for students and young researchers. In addition to the Main Technical Track, authors were encouraged to submit papers for the Special Track on AI for Social Impact and the Special Track on AI Alignment.
AAAI-26 received unprecedented interest from the global AI community. Nearly 29,000 papers were submitted to the Main Technical Track, with roughly 23,000 remaining under review after policy compliance filtering. This represents nearly twice the number of papers reviewed at AAAI-25. Submissions came from over 75,000 unique authors, with particularly strong engagement from China, which accounted for approximately 20,000 of the total submissions. The three largest research areas by submission volume were Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. To meet this demand, the Program Committee was expanded to over 28,000 members, nearly three times the size of the previous year's committee.
Driven by its disciplinary diversity, AAAI has incubated numerous AI sub-disciplines and conferences and has nurtured for decades the cohesion of AI. The purpose of this year's Bridge Program is to tap into new sources of innovation by cultivating collaboration between two or more communities directed towards a common goal. Hence, the communities that our Bridge Program is intended to bring together could be distinct subfields of AI, such as planning and learning, or different disciplines that contribute to and benefit from AI, such as AI and the humanities.
The conference scope included machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data mining, multiagent systems, knowledge representation, human-in-the-loop AI, search, planning, reasoning, robotics and perception, and ethics. In addition to fundamental work that focused on any one of these areas, AAAI-26 encouraged work across technical areas of AI, (e.g., machine learning and computer vision; computer vision and natural language processing; or machine learning and planning), bridges between AI and a related research area (e.g., neuroscience; cognitive science) or developing AI techniques in the context of important application domains, such as healthcare, sustainability, transportation, and commerce.The conference also continued its tradition of colocating with the long-running Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence conference (IAAI-26). IAAI-26 was chaired by Eren Kurshan (Princeton University, USA). The IAAI-26 papers are included in this proceedings. Also included are the papers from the Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-26). EAAI-26 was cochaired by Narges Norouzi (University of California Berkeley, USA) and Lisa Zhang (University of Toronto, Canada).
The proceedings have been published in 48 consecutive issues. This issue (volume 40 no. 26) consists of 912 pages and 1 tracks:

ISBN-13: 978-1-57735-906-7The Fortieth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence was held on January 20 -- January 27, 2026, Singapore. The program chairs were Chad Jenkins (University of Michigan, USA) and Matthew Taylor (University of Alberta, Canada).
AAAI-26 welcomed submissions on research that advances artificial intelligence, broadly conceived. The conference featured technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs. Many of these activities were tailored to the theme of bridges and were selected according to the highest standards, with additional programs for students and young researchers. In addition to the Main Technical Track, authors were encouraged to submit papers for the Special Track on AI for Social Impact and the Special Track on AI Alignment.
AAAI-26 received unprecedented interest from the global AI community. Nearly 29,000 papers were submitted to the Main Technical Track, with roughly 23,000 remaining under review after policy compliance filtering. This represents nearly twice the number of papers reviewed at AAAI-25. Submissions came from over 75,000 unique authors, with particularly strong engagement from China, which accounted for approximately 20,000 of the total submissions. The three largest research areas by submission volume were Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. To meet this demand, the Program Committee was expanded to over 28,000 members, nearly three times the size of the previous year's committee.
Driven by its disciplinary diversity, AAAI has incubated numerous AI sub-disciplines and conferences and has nurtured for decades the cohesion of AI. The purpose of this year's Bridge Program is to tap into new sources of innovation by cultivating collaboration between two or more communities directed towards a common goal. Hence, the communities that our Bridge Program is intended to bring together could be distinct subfields of AI, such as planning and learning, or different disciplines that contribute to and benefit from AI, such as AI and the humanities.
The conference scope included machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data mining, multiagent systems, knowledge representation, human-in-the-loop AI, search, planning, reasoning, robotics and perception, and ethics. In addition to fundamental work that focused on any one of these areas, AAAI-26 encouraged work across technical areas of AI, (e.g., machine learning and computer vision; computer vision and natural language processing; or machine learning and planning), bridges between AI and a related research area (e.g., neuroscience; cognitive science) or developing AI techniques in the context of important application domains, such as healthcare, sustainability, transportation, and commerce.The conference also continued its tradition of colocating with the long-running Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence conference (IAAI-26). IAAI-26 was chaired by Eren Kurshan (Princeton University, USA). The IAAI-26 papers are included in this proceedings. Also included are the papers from the Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-26). EAAI-26 was cochaired by Narges Norouzi (University of California Berkeley, USA) and Lisa Zhang (University of Toronto, Canada).
The proceedings have been published in 48 consecutive issues. This issue (volume 40 no. 34) consists of 839 pages and 1 tracks:

AAAI-26 received unprecedented interest from the global AI community. Nearly 29,000 papers were submitted to the Main Technical Track, with roughly 23,000 remaining under review after policy compliance filtering. This represents nearly twice the number of papers reviewed at AAAI-25. Submissions came from over 75,000 unique authors, with particularly strong engagement from China, which accounted for approximately 20,000 of the total submissions. The three largest research areas by submission volume were Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. To meet this demand, the Program Committee was expanded to over 28,000 members, nearly three times the size of the previous year's committee.
Driven by its disciplinary diversity, AAAI has incubated numerous AI sub-disciplines and conferences and has nurtured for decades the cohesion of AI. The purpose of this year's Bridge Program is to tap into new sources of innovation by cultivating collaboration between two or more communities directed towards a common goal. Hence, the communities that our Bridge Program is intended to bring together could be distinct subfields of AI, such as planning and learning, or different disciplines that contribute to and benefit from AI, such as AI and the humanities.
The conference scope included machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data mining, multiagent systems, knowledge representation, human-in-the-loop AI, search, planning, reasoning, robotics and perception, and ethics. In addition to fundamental work that focused on any one of these areas, AAAI-26 encouraged work across technical areas of AI, (e.g., machine learning and computer vision; computer vision and natural language processing; or machine learning and planning), bridges between AI and a related research area (e.g., neuroscience; cognitive science) or developing AI techniques in the context of important application domains, such as healthcare, sustainability, transportation, and commerce.The conference also continued its tradition of colocating with the long-running Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence conference (IAAI-26). IAAI-26 was chaired by Eren Kurshan (Princeton University, USA). The IAAI-26 papers are included in this proceedings. Also included are the papers from the Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-26). EAAI-26 was cochaired by Narges Norouzi (University of California Berkeley, USA) and Lisa Zhang (University of Toronto, Canada).
The proceedings have been published in 48 consecutive issues. This issue (volume 40 no. 42) consists of 816 pages and 1 tracks:

Hence, the communities that our Bridge Program is intended to bring together could be distinct subfields of AI, such as planning and learning, or different disciplines that contribute to and benefit from AI, such as AI and the humanities.
The conference scope included machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data mining, multiagent systems, knowledge representation, human-in-the-loop AI, search, planning, reasoning, robotics and perception, and ethics. In addition to fundamental work that focused on any one of these areas, AAAI-25 encouraged work across technical areas of AI, (e.g., machine learning and computer vision; computer vision and natural language processing; or machine learning and planning), bridges between AI and a related research area (e.g., neuroscience; cognitive science) or developing AI techniques in the context of important application domains, such as healthcare, sustainability, transportation, and commerce.
The conference also continued its tradition of collocating with the long-running Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence conference (IAAI-25). IAAI-25 was cochaired by Jan Seyler (Festo, Germany), Serdar Kadioglu (Brown University, USA) and Sean McGregor (UL Research Institutes, USA). The IAAI-25 papers are included in this proceedings. Also included are the papers from the Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-25). EAAI-25 was cochaired by Stephanie Rosenthal (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) and Narges Norouzi (University of California Berkley, USA)
The proceedings have been published in 28 consecutive issues. This issue (volume 39 no. 2) consists of 1109 pages and 2 tracks:
AAAI Technical Track on Cognitive Modeling & Cognitive Systems
