The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is a scientific society dedicated to advancing understanding of the mechanisms behind thought and intelligent behavior, including their embodiment in machines. It serves AI researchers, professionals, students, and the wider community through conferences, publications, educational resources, and opportunities to connect.

AAAI organizes and supports conferences and symposia covering areas such as artificial intelligence, ethics and society, human computation, intelligent user interfaces, and AI education. Its events bring together researchers and practitioners to share developments and discuss the field’s challenges and future. The association also publishes AI Magazine and conference proceedings, and offers membership with benefits that include discounts on conference registration and support for its publications.

Additional programs include awards recognizing contributions to AI research, education, service, and public benefit, as well as fellowships, senior member status, chapters, and mailing lists. AAAI provides resources such as AI news, videos, policy reports, and career information, helping its community follow developments and engage with the scientific and societal dimensions of artificial intelligence.
