in Montr´eal, Qu´ebec, Canada, during May 6–9, and was collocated with the 40th Graphics Interface Conference (GI 2014) and the 11th Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV 2014) AI 2014 attracted 94 submissions from Canada and around the world Each submission was thoroughly reviewed by the Program Committee, and for the final conference program and for inclusion in these proceedings, 22 regular papers were accepted, for an acceptance rate of 23.4% Regular papers were allocated 12 pages in the proceedings In addition, 18 short papers were accepted Short papers were allocated six pages in the proceedings The volume also presents three papers from the Graduate Student Symposium We invited four distinguished researchers to provide their insights on the state-of-art in Artificial Intelligence: Doina Precup, McGill University, and Yoshua Bengio, Universit´e de Montr´eal, gave tutorial talks and Stan Matwin, Dalhousie University, and Khaled El Emam, University of Ottawa and Privacy Analytics Inc., gave the conference talks The AI 2014 program greatly benefited from these exceptional contributions The organization of such a successful conference benefited from the collaboration of many individuals We would like to thank the members of the Program Committee and external reviewers for providing significant and timely reviews To manage the submission and reviewing process, we used the EasyChair Conference system We thank Aminul Islam, Cristina Manfredotti, Shamima Mithun for organizing and chairing the Graduate Student Symposium and its Program Committee We
