AIIDE 2026

AIIDE 2026 — the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment — gathers researchers and practitioners working on AI for entertainment, including video games, training simulations and interactive art. Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, it bridges the research and commercial communities, promoting rigorous AI science alongside its application to entertainment technology. The 2026 edition is hosted in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Games have long been AI's most demanding sandbox — from search and planning to reinforcement learning and, now, generative agents and procedural content. AIIDE is where that lineage continues, and a welcome stop on the Latin American research calendar.
