e are pleased to introduce Worldwide AI — a new column in AI Magazine that we hope will keep AAAI members informed about AI
efforts around the world. The Association for the Advancement of
Artificial Intelligence now serves a global audience, and our members, meeting
participants, councilors, and officers reside in countries throughout the world.
Worldwide AI is designed to meet our expanded audience’s interests.
In the columns that will appear in this and forthcoming issues, readers will
find a continuing source of news and information on significant research projects and accomplishments, academic and community events, and experiences
fielding notable applications of AI. We expect that increased awareness about
AI activities around the world will fuel new opportunities for communication
and collaboration. The inaugural columns in this issue of Worldwide AI
describe artificial intelligence trends in India and South Africa.
We invite AI researchers and professionals to submit columns on major
international activities to share with readers of AI Magazine. We hope that you
enjoy and will contribute to Worldwide AI!
