Editorial: Expository AI Applications

This close relationship between AI Magazine and IAAI is no coincidence. Much of our society knows about and interacts with AI mainly through its applications. Applications are the source of many problems that AI research seeks to address, and we often measure our progress through successful applications. Applications are how AI makes an impact on the world. Hence, as "the journal of record for the AI community," it is only logical for AI Magazine to cover AI applications extensively.
