Policies for AAAI-26 Authors

AAAI looks forward to seeing everyone in Singapore in January. To better plan for your participation at the conference, please read the author presentation policies. At the time of the camera ready submission, authors of accepted papers will be required to acknowledge that they are aware of these policies and will comply with them.

• At least one author is required to present that paper in person and therefore register for the conference at the in-person rate.
• All presentations must be done in-person. There will be no remote presentation option.
• Acknowledgement of policy at the time of the camera ready submission: “I commit to an author presenting the paper in-person at AAAI-26. If exceptional circumstances arise that prevent the authors from presenting the paper in person, I will notify AAAI immediately. I acknowledge that if I do not notify AAAI about exceptional circumstances, then the paper will not be included in the proceedings”.

Policy on use of AI systems in producing AAAI or AAAI-related publications

Plagiarism and the Use of ChatGPT or similar LLMs Papers that include text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) such as ChatGPT are prohibited unless the produced text is presented as a part of the paper’s experimental analysis. Note that this policy does not prohibit authors from using LLMs for editing or polishing author-written text.

AAAI’2026 furthermore follows AAAI policy that any AI system, including Generative Models such as Chat-GPT, BARD, or DALL-E, do not satisfy the criteria for authorship of papers published by AAAI and, as such, also cannot be used as a citable source in papers published by AAAI. Authors assume full responsibility for content, including checking for plagiarism and veracity of all text.

Any allegation of plagiarism, whether the result of the use of an LLM or otherwise, which comes to AAAI’s attention will be thoroughly investigated. If substantiated, the matter will be dealt with very seriously.  Possible sanctions include rejection/retraction of the work, notification to all the authors’ institutions or employers and any other relevant bodies, and denial of service for and access to all AAAI-sponsored meetings.
