The AAAI Executive Council is the volunteer leadership of AAAI, and we invest our best efforts to advance the field of AI and the AAAI association. I am very excited that you will be joining the Council, and I very much look forward to working with you.


The AAAI Executive Council meets three times per year: Once in person at the AAAI conference, once in the summer, and once in November (the last two usually by teleconference). You are expected to attend all meetings of the Council. This year, the summer meeting is scheduled in person on July 13 at IJCAI-16 in New York. 


Your term will officially commence during the July meeting. You will be able to vote on issues once you have been installed. The AAAI Executive Council is organized in different Standing and Ad-Hoc Committees to handle the multiple areas of impact of AAAI. We will introduce the current Committees to you at the meeting, and you will then have a choice to commit to work in at least two Committees. 


Congratulations for your election and thank you very much for your volunteer work!

杨强教授的竞选Statement: 


One of the critical issues facing the AI community is to effectively communicate the science of AI to the public when many misunderstood AI as science fiction.  With the increasing success of AI in machine learning, robotics and many other fields, there is an increasing need to address the ‘educational’ issue of AI for different crowds, ranging from various industries, investment communities, students who are future AI researchers as well as the general public.   It is important to manage a well-placed balance on the expectation of what AI can and cannot do.  It is also important to guide AI research towards higher relevance to people’s lives.  Another important issue to involve researchers, practitioners and students from different cultural and demographic background in serving the AI community, to truly understand their needs and address the current imbalance in community organization.  I look forward to a more healthy and truly global representation of the AI community in our activities.
