The Ninth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE-13) will be held in October 14-18, 2013 at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA (www.aiide.org).

AIIDE-13 is intended to be the definitive point of interaction between entertainment software developers interested in AI and academic AI researchers. AIIDE-13 will include invited speakers, research and practitioner presentations, playable experiences, project demonstrations, interactive poster sessions, product exhibits, and a doctoral consortium. While traditionally emphasizing commercial computer and video games, we invite researchers and developers to share their insights and cutting-edge results on topics at the intersection of all forms of entertainment and artificial intelligence, including games for impact, entertainment robotics, art, and beyond. AIIDE-13 is sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).
