Editorial

I am honored by the appointment and look forward to the opportunity to guide the magazine as it begins its third decade of publication. AI Magazine serves the artificial intelligence community in many ways. It is a medium for disseminating information about AI areas and methods to readers across the entire field of AI, as well as to a broad multidisciplinary audience. It is a journal of record for articles on important research and applications advances as well as for meeting reports, reviews, and discussions that illuminate the state of the art and emerging areas. Equally important, it is a forum for sharing visions for the field--perspectives on issues, priorities, and challenges for moving forward.
