It has been a first year full of unexpected challenges for the new officers of SIGAI! Along with the election of a new leadership team, we began the year with many changes, including integrating a new leadership team, changes in several of the appointed officers, and of course the global pandemic which has radically altered many of our activities! Of particular note, we are excited to welcome on board Louise Dennis as the new conference coordination officer, Anuj Karpatne as a new co-editor for AI Matters, and Alan Tsang as the new information officer, taking over from Michael Rovatsos, Amy McGovern, and Hang Ma respectively. We are very grateful to Michael, Amy, and Hang for years of excellent service to SIGAI! While we were working on several new initiatives, like everyone else, the Covid-19 pandemic changed the nature of what we were able to do and what we had to focus on. Nevertheless, we managed to get several of these initiatives off the ground, and were lucky in that SIGAI was well-positioned both financially and in terms of our rapport with many communities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transcended beyond buzzwords, keywords or trends. The ubiquity of AI is so profound that it has managed to seep into popular culture. It breeds throughout social media platforms. It dominates the airwaves. It is impossible to watch television without mention of the acronym, the word, and how everyone is using it. However, if we look a little closer, take a deep dive into the AI pool where everyone seems to be swimming, we began to learn that AI has been misinterpreted, misrepresented, and incorrectly defined. "In the Laws of Thought and Thinking Machines," Hughes and Hughes (2019) talk about how uncovering the truth of the definition, meaning, applications, and implications of Artificial Intelligence would be a noteworthy goal. Today we are pursuing that goal.

Welcome to the fourth issue of the fifth volume of the AI Matters Newsletter. This issue is full of great new articles and stories! In our regular articles, we open with an event report by Louise Dennis on recent conferences relevant to SIGAI organized around the world. Louise Dennis then provides a summary of upcoming AI events. In the policy column, Larry Medsker covers recent policies on national strategy for AI laid down by the U.S. government, implications of AI on workplace transitions, President Trump's executive order on re-establishing the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), and more. Our final regular column is our AI crosswords from Adi Botea. Enjoy! We have three contributed articles in our current issue. In the first article, Sharad Sinha and Clint George provide a summary of the events and activities of a recent workshop conducted in India on AI for high school students. In the second article, Trevor Watkins describes the Cosmology of Artificial Intelligence Project (CAIP) that uses innovative visualization techniques to present the evolution of the field of AI. In the third article, Virginia Dignum discusses how AI is progressively trending to become a multi-disciplinary field of reseach and the implications of this trend on the future of AI.
