ACM SIGAI is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI), an interdisciplinary group of academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, software developers, end users, and students.

Purpose

[edit | edit source]

SIGAI serves academic teachers and researchers, industrial practitioners, and students; and draws its membership from all three of these communities. Part of SIGAI's remit is to serve as technical experts on AI, both for the ACM community and external entities[2].

Conferences

[edit | edit source]

SIGAI supports several conferences.[3]


Journal

[edit | edit source]

ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology (ACM TIST) is a scholarly journal that publishes the quality papers on intelligent systems, applicable algorithms and technology with a multi-disciplinary perspective. An intelligent system is one that uses AI techniques to offer important services (e.g., as a component of a larger system) to allow integrated systems to perceive, reason, learn, and act intelligently in the real world.[4]

Newsletter/Bulletin

AI Matters is the SIGAI quarterly newsletter featuring ideas and announcements of interest to the AI community. AI Matters is archived and made available in the ACM Digital Library.[citation needed]
