Ai International

What Ai International does

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is a nonprofit scientific society founded in 1979 (originally as the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, renamed in 2007 to reflect its international scope) and headquartered at 1101 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC, with additional offices in Palo Alto, California. Its mission is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior, promote responsible use of AI, increase public understanding of AI, improve the training of AI practitioners, and provide guidance to research planners and funders.

AAAI's core offerings span publications, conferences, and recognition programs. Publications include AI Magazine (a quarterly journal for members, hosted on Wiley Online Library), the Digital Library (over 10,000 AI technical papers), and AAAI Press (books, proceedings, technical reports, and policy reports for U.S. government agencies). Conferences include the flagship AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, IAAI (Innovative Applications of AI), AIIDE (AI and Interactive Digital Entertainment), and ICWSM, alongside Spring and Fall Symposium Series held at Stanford University and the AAAI Workshops program. Recognition programs include the Fellows program, the Squirrel AI Award for Artificial Intelligence for the Benefit of Humanity, the Classic Paper Award, the Dissertation Award, the Feigenbaum Prize, the Engelmore Award, the Distinguished Service Award, the Outstanding Paper Award, Senior Member Status, and joint awards such as the A. Newell Award with ACM. The AITopics site uses AI technology to power information discovery about AI for students and the general public.

The business model is a membership-plus-events hybrid. Revenue streams consist of recurring annual membership dues (including multi-year Platinum tiers at $490 one-year, $780 three-year, and $1,070 five-year, plus a $250 student tier), conference and symposium registration fees (e.g., $345 member / $520 nonmember at the 2019 Spring Symposium, $395/$560 at the Fall Symposium), one-time publication sales through AAAI Press, and voluntary donations. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, supported by digital channels (aaai.org, aiinternational.org, AI Magazine on Wiley, Twitter @RealAAAI, Facebook, AITopics, and a Press Room for media). Primary customers are AI researchers and scientists and AI practitioners globally, with secondary segments including AI students and research planners/funders; AAAI serves an international community with substantial non-U.S. membership and authorship.

Others

• Computing Research Association (CRA): CRA is an alliance of computing societies (including AAAI) focused on advancing computing research and policy. It is a peer in the AI/computing society ecosystem and a direct partner of AAAI, making it comparable as a coordinating body serving the same research community.

Direct peers

• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM): ACM is the world's largest international computing professional society, publishing flagship journals and organizing major computing conferences. Like AAAI, ACM operates a digital library, runs a fellows program, hosts AI-related conferences (e.g., SIGAI), and serves as a primary venue for computing research publication.
• IEEE Computational Intelligence Society: IEEE CIS is an IEEE technical society focused on computational intelligence, including neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computation. It overlaps directly with AAAI's AI research scope and similarly publishes journals, runs conferences (e.g., IEEE WCCI, IEEE CEC), and serves an international research community.
• International Machine Learning Society (IMLS): IMLS is the professional society that oversees ICML, a top-tier machine learning conference. It is comparable to AAAI in organizing flagship AI conferences, publishing proceedings, and serving an international ML research community.
• Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation (NeurIPS): NeurIPS Foundation operates the premier annual machine learning and computational neuroscience conference. Like AAAI, it publishes proceedings, runs a fellows/awards ecosystem, and serves as a leading venue for AI research paper publication with global attendance.

Emerging players

• Alan Turing Institute: The Alan Turing Institute is the UK's national institute for data science and AI, funded by EPSRC and university partners. It is comparable to AAAI in advancing AI research, training practitioners, and engaging in public understanding of AI, though focused on UK-funded research programs.
• Partnership on AI: Partnership on AI is a nonprofit coalition of industry, academia, and civil society organizations focused on responsible AI development. It is comparable to AAAI in mission orientation toward responsible AI use, public understanding, and AI practitioner guidance, though focused on policy/ethics rather than research conferences.
• International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR): ICLR is a leading open-access machine learning conference with strong industry support. It competes with AAAI conferences for AI research submissions and audience, and similarly publishes open proceedings and runs a community-driven program committee structure.

Broad incumbents

• Cognitive Science Society: The Cognitive Science Society is an interdisciplinary scientific society that publishes journals and runs the annual CogSci conference. It overlaps with AAAI in serving researchers studying intelligence and cognition, and publishes proceedings in adjacent theoretical AI areas.
• AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science): AAAS is a large, established international nonprofit scientific society publishing Science magazine. It is comparable to AAAI as a long-standing scientific society serving a research community, awarding fellows, and publishing influential journals, though at a much broader scientific scope.
