Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.


Announcing CCC’s First Ever Community Chat on the Future of AI Research

September 30th, 2025 / in Announcements, CCC, CCC-led white papers / by Catherine Gill

The current wave of AI innovation, powered by large language models and deep neural networks, has captured the world’s attention. But what comes next? Is the future simply about scaling up what we have now, or are there new, paradigm-shifting ideas waiting to be explored?

The authors of CCC’s new whitepaper, Envisioning Possible Futures for AI Research, have tackled this exact question. They’ve identified and described six potential paradigms that could define the next generation of AI. These aren’t just incremental improvements; they are truly revolutionary paths that could reshape the entire field.

Join Us for a Live Q&A with Lead Author, David Jensen

 
We’re hosting a special 30-minute virtual webinar where David Jensen, the whitepaper’s lead author, will share the key findings and be joined by co-authors to answer your questions live. This is your chance to hear directly from the experts behind this insightful report and dive into the future of AI research. You’ll learn about the six potential “Research Futures” the authors identified in the report, and more background on “Why these six?” and what is needed to spur investment forward in each of these fields.
