AAAI Members are invited to participate.The AITopics site is a wiki that collects contributions from members of the AI community.
The Video ArchiveThe AAAI Video Archive site is a master catalog of videos about AI stored digitally on other sites, or physically in institutional archives. For each video, the archive includes a brief description of the contents and personae of the video, one or more representative, short clips for classroom or individual use, and the location of the archival copy (e.g., at a university library). Video is fast becoming the most effective communications channel. For example, in Online video is transforming perceptions of science. By Matthew Busse. New Scientist (Issue 2612: July 11, 2007). "TV is already the dominant format for communicating science. In November 2006, the Pew Internet and American Life project based in Washington DC found that it is the general public's number one portal for science information, with the internet a close second. However, with the rise of broadband internet connections, people are increasingly getting their video fix, and that means science communicators have to keep up. 'We have to be looking pretty closely at online video as an outlet for the public understanding of science,' says Stewart Wills, online editor of the journal Science, based in Washington DC."
