Letter from the Editor
Abstract
Dear Members, Happy New Year, and welcome to this issue of AI Matters for 2026. In this edition, we open with the ACM SIGAI Annual Report, which reviews our activities over the past year, celebrates the recipients of our three major awards, and outlines priorities for the next two to three years. We then catch up with the 2019 recipients of the AAAI/ACM SIGAI Doctoral Dissertation Award. Jiajun Wu, the award winner, talks us through the world of physical scene understanding, while Aishwarya Agrawal, who received an honourable mention, shares her contributions to evaluating computer vision models and offers thoughtful career advice for students and early-career researchers.
