In March 2025, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), published a report on the Future of AI Research. The report, which was led by outgoing AAAI President Francesca Rossi covers 17 different AI topics and aims to clearly identify the trajectory of AI research in a structured way. As part of this project, members of the report team, and other selected AI practitioners, are taking part in a series of video panel discussions covering selected chapters from the report.

In the second panel, the AI experts tackled the topic of AI perceptions versus reality.

Panel Members

  • Rodney Brooks, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Thomas G. Dietterich, Oregon State University
  • Gary Marcus, New York University
  • Peter Stone, University of Texas at Austin

Moderator

  • Francesca Rossi, AAAI past president, IBM Fellow and AI Ethics Global Leader
