During their term of office, each AAAI President is invited to deliver a presidential address to the AI community. Traditionally, this address has been delivered at the AAAI National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, and, in recent years, the addresses have been published in AI Magazine. As a service to the community, AI Magazine is collecting these articles and making them available (in PDF format) to the scientific community at large. Links to the addresses are found below.
