Membership is open to anyone with an interest in AI research and development. Periodicals and Journals AI Magazine Called the "journal of record for the AI community," AI Magazine helps AAAI members stay abreast of significant new research and literature across the entire field of artificial intelligence. The quarterly publication features timely, feature-length articles, consistently crafted to be clear enough to permit specialists to review work outside their particular area of expertise. The AI Directory The AI Directory offers AAAI members a handy access guide to their AI colleagues, companies, AI consultants, libraries, and universities. Journals AAAI members can receive substantial discounts on a number of journals in the AI field. Journals included in this program include: Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and AI in Medicine Journal. Publications AAAI Press books serve to keep AAAI members and the scientific community abreast of breaking research in AI. Members receive an annual catalog of AAAI Press books, and are offered discounts on AAAI Press books at the annual conference. AAAI Press also makes selected workshop and symposia papers available to members, through its Technical Reports Series. This service provides members with speedy access to state-of-the-art research in fast-breaking AI subfields. Some papers are also available even faster, through internet electronic subscriptions. Conferences As a member of AAAI you will receive advance notice and discounted registration fees for all of AAAI's conferences, symposia, and other meetings. The National Conference on Artificial Intelligence AAAI's summer national conference promotes theoretical and applied AI research as well as intellectual interchange among researchers and practitioners. The technical program features substantial, original research and practices. Conference panel discussions and invited presentations identify significant social, philosophical, and economic issues influencing AI's development throughout the world. Exhibit Program AAAI's exhibits present the latest AI hardware, software, consulting, publications, and services. Each year, the exhibit program also features a special event, such as the robot competition. Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence AAAI's IAAI conference highlights innovative AI applications that have been deployed worldwide. Attendees view AI applications in use today, and learn how these software systems are developed and implemented. Industry experts also discuss successful AI applications in interactive AI-On-Line panels. Symposia AAAI's Symposium Series affords participants a smaller, more intimate setting where they can share ideas and learn from each other's research. Topics for the symposia change each year, and the limited seating capacity and relaxed atmosphere allow for workshop-like interaction. Workshops AAAI workshops allow richer communications on basic and applied research and engineering topics. AAAI members receive advance notification of workshop topics as well as an annual invitation to submit ideas for AAAI sponsorship. Tutorials AAAI tutorials introduce attendees to evolving and practical techniques in broad areas of artificial intelligence. Attendees learn standard methods, subtleties of the field, and a perspective on where it is going. Subgroups AAAI subgroups serve members with common interests in medicine, manufacturing, law, and business. Some subgroups publish newsletters for the benefit of subgroup members. Sponsored Activities, Grants, & Scholarships As a part of its mission, AAAI sponsors, cosponsors, and cooperates with many workshops, conferences, and affiliated symposia throughout the world. AAAI members receive information about many of these events through AI Magazine. AAAI also sponsors a scholarship fund enabling students to attend AAAI conferences and symposia, and a grant program encouraging scientific inquiry by women and minorities.
