AAAI's Mission and History
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to the promotion and advancement of artificial intelligence-- what constitutes intelligent thought and behavior and how it can be exhibited in computers. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in AI research and development.
Periodicals and Journals
AI Magazine
The "journal of record for the AI community," AI Magazine helps AAAI members stay abreast of significant new research and literature across the entire field of artificial intelligence. The quarterly publication features timely, feature-length articles, consistently crafted to be clear enough to permit specialists to review work outside their particular area of expertise.
The AI Directory
The online AI Directory--available to members only--offers AAAI members a handy access guide to their AI colleagues, companies, AI consultants, libraries, and universities.
Journals
AAAI personal members can receive substantial discounts on a number of journals in the AI field. Journals included in this program include:
- International Journal of Approximate Reasoning
(published by Elsevier Science) - Artificial Intelligence
(published by Elsevier North Holland) - Artificial Intelligence and Medicine
(published bi-monthly by Elsevier North Holland) - Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
(published by Kluwer) - Autonomous Robots
(published by Kluwer Academic Publishers) - Biomedical Informatics
(published by Academic Press) - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

Publications
AAAI Press books serve to keep AAAI members and the scientific community abreast of breaking research in AI. Members receive an annual catalog of AAAI Press books, and are offered discounts on AAAI Press books at the annual conference.
AAAI Press also makes selected workshop and symposia papers available to members, through its Technical Reports Series. This service provides members with speedy access to state-of-the-art research in fast-breaking AI subfields.
AAAI'S Major Programs
AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
The AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence promotes research in AI and scientific interchange among AI researchers, practitioners, and scientists and engineers in related disciplines. The conference provides a forum for a broad range of topics, including (but not limited to) knowledge representation, machine learning, autonomous agents, planning, robotics and machine vision, expert systems, theorem proving, commonsense reasoning, probabilistic inference, constraint satisfaction, game playing, automated diagnosis, data mining, natural language processing, neural networks, and cognitive modeling. The conference features a host of programs, including tutorials, workshops, student sessions and posters, robotic events, and invited presentations.
Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference
The Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence highlights successful applications of AI technology; explores issues, methods, and lessons learned in the development and deployment of AI applications; and promotes an interchange of ideas between basic and applied AI.
Publications
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence and The MIT Press established the AAAI Press in 1989 as a publishing imprint founded to serve the information needs of the international AI community. AAAI Press / The MIT Press books are copublished by AAAI and The MIT Press, and reflect the commitment of both organizations to facilitating technical interaction within the international AI community. AAAI Press/The MIT Press books and proceedings, including the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence Conference proceedings, are marketed and distributed by The MIT Press, while editorial and production activities are handled by the AAAI Press. The acquisition of manuscripts is handled jointly. AAAI also offers selected proceedings from other AI-related conferences. These books, generally from AAAI cosponsored conferences, are available directly from AAAI. AAAI also has available an extensive list of technical reports, derived mainly from our workshop and symposia series.
Online Services
AAAI's online services have expanded to include a host of resources for the AI professional, as well as an individual with only a general interest in the field. AAAI's public web site includes extensive information about AAAI activities, programs, and publications, as well as announcements about related upcoming events. Online ordering of all AAAI publications is available, as is conference and symposium registration. AAAI Authors can find complete guidelines for magazine, conference, or AAAI Press submissions. The AAAI web site also features AI Topics, a comprehensive site designed for students, teachers, journalists, and anyone who would like to learn more about what artificial intelligence is, and what AI scientists do. This valuable resource provides a general introduction to the field, an extensive bibliography in many areas of research, and helpful links to related web sites. AAAI's site also contains a Members Only section, described above, that features valuable information and recent publications for AAAI members.
Conference Affiliates and Subgroups
As part of its commitment to the advancement of artificial intelligence, AAAI cosponsors or cooperates with numerous subarea conferences. Several of these conferences have also chosen to formally affiliate themselves with AAAI. Benefits of affiliation include collocation opportunities, conference services, and student scholarships. Affiliated conferences offer special discounts to AAAI members on registration and other services.
Sponsored Journals
AAAI has established formal agreements with several leading journal publishers to offer AAAI members discounts on their journals. For descriptions of all the journals currently offered, visit the Sponsored Journals page.
Conference Benefits and Information
As a member of AAAI you will receive advance notice and discounted registration fees for all of AAAI's conferences, symposia, and other meetings. The AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence -- AAAI's summer national conference—promotes theoretical and applied AI research as well as intellectual interchange among researchers and practitioners. The technical program features substantial, original research and practices. Conference panel discussions and invited presentations identify significant social, philosophical, and economic issues influencing AI's development throughout the world.
Exhibit Program
AAAI's exhibits present the latest AI hardware, software, consulting, publications, and services. Each year, the exhibit program also features a special event, such as the robot competition. The conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence—AAAI's IAAI Conference—highlights innovative AI applications that have been deployed worldwide. Attendees view AI applications in use today, and learn how these software systems are developed and implemented. Industry experts also discuss successful AI applications in interactive AI-On-Line panels.
Symposia
AAAI's Symposium Series affords participants a smaller, more intimate setting where they can share ideas and learn from each other's research.
Topics for the symposia change each year, and the limited seating capacity and relaxed atmosphere allow for workshop-like interaction.
Workshops
AAAI workshops allow richer communications on basic and applied research and engineering topics. AAAI members receive advance notification of workshop topics as well as an annual invitation to submit ideas for AAAI sponsorship.
Tutorials
AAAI tutorials introduce attendees to evolving and practical techniques in broad areas of artificial intelligence. Attendees learn standard methods, subtleties of the field, and a perspective on where it is going.
