Abstract
Two Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) symposia, organized and held at Stanford in 2015 and 2016, are reviewed separately. After the second of these two symposia was completed, the conference organizers solicited book chapters from those who participated, as well as more widely, but framed by these two symposia. In this introduction, we review briefly the two symposia and then individually introduce the contributing chapters that follow.
