Special Theme: New Grounds
AIIDE 2026 marks the first time the conference is held outside the United States and Canada, taking place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. As a result, AIIDE enters new geographic and technical ground as a venue for research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment. For AIIDE 2026 we encourage authors to engage with the theme of “New Grounds”. This theme is meant to highlight technical work that explores new problem settings, emerging applications, and novel constraints for AI in games and interactive systems, including extensions of established AIIDE methods to new domains, platforms, and deployment contexts. Submissions are not required to fit this theme but authors may optionally identify their work as fitting the theme at the time of submission.
