The 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
February 25 – March 4, 2025 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Science Communication for AI Researchers – an introduction
Science communication is essential. It helps demystify AI for a broad range of people including policy makers, business leaders, and the public. As a researcher, mastering this skill can not only enhance your communication abilities but also expand your network and increase the visibility and impact of your work.
In this brief tutorial, we will teach you how to clearly and concisely explain your research to non-specialists. We will guide you on how to shape the story of your AI research and how to structure this research story to form a blog post. You’ll learn how to avoid hype, how to find suitable images to illustrate your work, and where to start with social media.
After the talk we will host a one-hour drop-in session to work with you one-on-one on your science communication questions, ideas and stories.
Programme:
13:00 – 14:00 Talk: science communication for AI researchers – introductory training
14:00 – 15:00 Open drop-in session for one-on-one support
