This symposium is part of the AAAI 2023 Inaugural Summer Symposium Series.

The rapid growth of AI and the emergence of metaverse technologies have opened up a new realm of possibilities for human-computer interactions. As these technologies continue to develop, it is essential to bring together experts from the fields of AI and metaverse to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in this area. More specifically, we aim to foster deep conversations and knowledge sharing on how AI enriches the Metaverse and vice versa, towards a synergistic AI x Metaverse ecosystem. For example, using the Metaverse for generating synthetic data in overcoming data scarcity and using such synthetic data towards the training of AI models which in turn may be further deployed in the Metaverse. On this, we are confident that many more such synergies and possibilities exist. Therefore, we propose a symposium on "AI and Metaverse: Exploring the Intersection of Two Disruptive Technologies."

The symposium will cover a wide range of topics, not limited to natural language processing, computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, ethics, and policy, among others. The symposium will be an excellent opportunity for participants to learn from each other, network, and form collaborations to advance the state of the art in this exciting area.
