In 2018-2019, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) brought together over 100 members of the research community, led by Yolanda Gil (University of Southern California and Past President of AAAI) and Bart Selman (Cornell University and President of AAAI) to come up with a research roadmap for AI. The completed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Roadmap, A 20-Year Community Roadmap for AI Research in the US, was released in August 2019. One of the recommendations from the Roadmap was to create National AI Research Centers: multi-university centers with affiliated institutions that are focused on pivotal areas of long-term AI research.
