AAAI Announces 2021 AAAI Squirrel AI Award for AI for the Benefit of Humanity

Interactive AI Magazine

As you know, we recently announced the new $1M AAAI Squirrel AI Award for AI for the Benefit of Humanity. The award recognizes positive impacts of AI to protect, enhance, and improve human life in meaningful ways with long-lived effects. I am thrilled to share the news that Regina Barzilay of MIT is the inaugural recipient of the award. Regina is recognized for fundamental advances in AI for healthcare, being a proactive community builder and role model, and demonstrating significant impact in people's lives through cancer diagnosis, drug-resistant microbe antibiotics, and drug discovery. The award will be given at the AAAI conference in February, and the associated prize of $1 million will be provided by the online education company Squirrel AI.
