The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), has published a report on the Future of AI Research. The report, which was announced by outgoing AAAI President Francesca Rossi during the AAAI 2025 conference, covers 17 different AI topics and aims to clearly identify the trajectory of AI research in a structured way.

The report is the result of a Presidential Panel, chaired by Francesca Rossi, and comprising of 24 experienced AI researchers, who worked on the project between summer 2024 and spring 2025. As well as the views of the panel members, the report also draws on community feedback, which was received from 475 AI researchers via a survey.

The 17 topics, each with a dedicated chapter, are as follows.

  • AI Reasoning
  • AI Factuality & Trustworthiness
  • AI Agents
  • AI Evaluation
  • AI Ethics & Safety
  • Embodied AI
  • AI & Cognitive Science
  • Hardware & AI
  • AI for Social Good
  • AI & Sustainability
  • AI for Scientific Discovery
  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
  • AI Perception vs. Reality
  • Diversity of AI Research Approaches
  • Research Beyond the AI Research Community
  • Role of Academia
  • Geopolitical Aspects & Implications of AI

Each chapter includes a list of main takeaways, context and history, current state and trends, research challenges, and community opinion. You can read the report in full here.
