Narratives are an important part of human culture and communication. They are present, for example, in literature, art, culture, history, journalism, health records, justice and finance. Narratives can be expressed through text, images, theatrical representations, cinema, comics, etc. Artificial Intelligence is a very important toolbox for providing means to automatically understand, transform and generate narratives. In this workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Narratives (AI4Narratives 1 ) we bring together the AI community working on Narratives.

These proceedings contain the contributed papers for this workshop held in conjunction with the IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 conference in Yokohama, Japan, on the 7th and 8th of January 2021. This is a sister workshop of the Text2Story (European Conference on Information Retrieval) series. Nine papers were selected by the programme committee from a total of sixteen submissions. Each submitted paper was reviewed by three members of an international programme committee. In addition to the selected papers, the workshop features two invited speakers: Georgiana Iffrim, from the University College Dublin, and Tomasz Trzcinski from the company Comixify. Georgiana Iffrim's keynote is "The Ants Have Megaphones Now: Text Mining and Summarization for News and Social Media Streams". Tomasz Trzcinski addresses a communication entitled "Comixify: turning videos into comics".

We would like to thank IJCAI for hosting us, our keynote speakers, the programme committee, the paper authors, and the participants, who have made this workshop possible.
