Activities

Student Support

IAAI aims to help Israeli research students who wish to become future AI researchers. IAAI supports these students both financially (when possible) and spiritually.

Events for the AI Community

Israeli AI researchers work in different institutions spread all over the country. To improve interaction among Israeli researchers, IAAI organizes workshops and conferences for the IAAI community. In particular, an IAAI workshop is being held at least once a year. In it, the different AI groups present their recent achievements to the entire IAAI community and have valuable time to cross-fertilize each other. Once every two years, the IAAI also supports the bi-annual BISFAI symposium, which serves a similar purpose but is a longer event, usually two days long.

International Relations

IAAI aims to support visits of international AI scientists to Israel. IAAI sees great importance in inviting prestigious international scientists to visit one or more AI groups in Israel. IAAI supports such visits financially (when possible) and helps the visitor to contact relevant AI groups within the country.

Relations with the Industry

IAAI aims to promote and support strong connections between academic researchers in the Israeli AI community and relevant industry companies. Relevant people from the industry come to the IAAI conferences on a regular basis and present their achievements there. IAAI also supports collaboration on research projects between Academia and Industry.

Community Activities

IAAI aims to support the general community in a number of ways. We are working to establish a joint project between IAAI and a high school in Tel-Aviv, in which IAAI researchers and graduate students will give classes and lectures about AI. In addition, graduate students will help individual high-school students with their studies in return for a scholarship.
