The Undergraduate Consortium (AAAI-UC) hosted at the 2025 AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-25) will offer undergraduate students an opportunity to enrich their conference experience by:

• presenting and receiving critical feedback about their ideas in a professional, academic setting;
• meeting prospective graduate advisors;
• receiving mentoring about the advantages (and disadvantages) of pursuing graduate studies in AI as well as practical early career advice;
• expanding their professional network to include AI experts, current graduate students, and undergraduate peers; and
• providing advice, tools, and resources for successfully applying to and attending graduate school in an AI-related research area.

The sixth AAAI-UC will be held in conjunction with the AAAI-25 conference.
