Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we meet three AAAI doctoral consortium participants, find out how machine learning can help monitor bird flocks, and cover the 38th AAAI conference. The AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for a group of PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives in an interdisciplinary workshop together with a panel of established researchers. We're meeting the participants in a series of interviews to find out about their research, PhD life, and why they decided to study AI. This month, we caught up with Fiona Anting Tan, Elizabeth Ondula, and Célian Ringwald.
