The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with Stanford University's Department of Computer Science, presented the 2016 Spring Symposium Series on Monday through Wednesday, March 21-23, 2016 at Stanford University. The titles of the seven symposia were (1) AI and the Mitigation of Human Error: Anomalies, Team Metrics and Thermodynamics; (2) Challenges and Opportunities in Multiagent Learning for the Real World (3) Enabling Computing Research in Socially Intelligent Human-Robot Interaction: A Community-Driven Modular Research Platform; (4) Ethical and Moral Considerations in Non-Human Agents; (5) Intelligent Systems for Supporting Distributed Human Teamwork; (6) Observational Studies through Social Media and Other Human-Generated Content, and (7) Well-Being Computing: AI Meets Health and Happiness Science.

This paper and use of autonomous weapons systems has been will discuss the moral and ethical questions that arise in the one of the outcomes of the counterterrorism and counterinsurgency use of lethally autonomous technology for military purposes operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The asymmetrical and how the forms of subjectivity and moral agency that battlefields of these theaters, where no frontline it creates could be highly counterproductive to mission provides a buffer between combatants and civilians and effectiveness, diplomacy and conflict resolution and prevention.

The AAAI 2014 Fall Symposium Series was held Thursday through Saturday, November 13–15, at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia adjacent to Washington, DC. The titles of the seven symposia were Artificial Intelligence for Human-Robot Interaction, Energy Market Prediction, Expanding the Boundaries of Health Informatics Using AI, Knowledge, Skill, and Behavior Transfer in Autonomous Robots, Modeling Changing Perspectives: Reconceptualizing Sensorimotor Experiences, Natural Language Access to Big Data, and The Nature of Humans and Machines: A Multidisciplinary Discourse. The highlights of each symposium are presented in this report.

The program also included six keynote presentations, a funding panel, a community panel, and multiple breakout sessions. The keynote presentations, given by speakers that have been working on AI for HRI for many years, focused on the larger intellectual picture of this subfield. Each speaker was asked to address, from his or her personal perspective, why HRI is an AI problem and how AI research can bring us closer to the reality of humans interacting with robots on everyday tasks. Speakers included Rodney Brooks (Rethink Robotics), Manuela Veloso (Carnegie Mellon University), Michael Goodrich (Brigham Young University), Benjamin Kuipers (University of Michigan), Maja Mataric (University of Southern California), and Brian Scassellati (Yale University).

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence was pleased to present the AAAI 2013 Spring Symposium Series, held Monday through Wednesday, March 25-27, 2013. The titles of the eight symposia were Analyzing Microtext, Creativity and (Early) Cognitive Development, Data Driven Wellness: From Self-Tracking to Behavior Change, Designing Intelligent Robots: Reintegrating AI II, Lifelong Machine Learning, Shikakeology: Designing Triggers for Behavior Change, Trust and Autonomous Systems, and Weakly Supervised Learning from Multimedia. This report contains summaries of the symposia, written, in most cases, by the cochairs of the symposium.
