The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 2025 Fall Symposium Series was held November 6-8, 2025, at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia. There were six symposia in the program: AI for Social Good: Emerging Methods, Measures, Data, and Ethics; AI Trustworthiness and Risk Assessment for Challenged Contexts; Engineering Safety-Critical AI Systems; First AAAI Symposium on Quantum Information and Machine Learning: Bridging Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence; Safe, Ethical, Certified, Uncertainty-aware, Robust, and Explainable AI for Health; and Unifying Representations for Robot Application Development. This report contains summaries of the symposia, which were submitted by most, but not all, of the symposium organizers. AI has demonstrated transformative potential across sectors such as aging, combating information manipulation, disaster response, education, environmental sustainability, government, healthcare, social care, transportation, and urban planning. Yet, the systematic development of AI For Social Good remains fragmented across those many research communities, with limited convergence around effective methodologies, equitable impact measurement, or access to important data and long-term engagement with targeted populations. The main objective for this symposium was to convene across disciplines and engage researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, with a particular focus on finding methods, measures and data that could be used in multiple settings. There were roughly 30 participants.
