AI Matters is an electronic publication, published quarterly. We are keen to expand our newsletter to include more community-written content, so we are welcoming any and all types of contribution – whether you have a quick idea, a reflection, or a full piece ready to go. You can send us a short pitch or draft – we’re happy to help shape it together. We are also looking for regular columnists, so if you have an idea for a recurring feature, get in touch. 

Here are some examples of the kinds of pieces we publish (but don’t feel limited to these):

• AI Impact: Examples of AI systems or methods that have had a real-world impact.
• Opinion: Thought-provoking takes or discussions on issues in AI. Joint or response pieces are welcome.
• Paper Précis: Short summaries of recent AI papers, written for a general audience.
• Event Reports: Your reflections from conferences, workshops, or community events.
• News: Open-source software, datasets, challenges, or other updates of interest to AI researchers and practitioners.
• Early Career Researcher Advice: Are you an early career researcher, or do you have some advice for your younger colleagues? Send us your tips!
• Ph.D. Dissertation Briefings: Extended abstracts about recent dissertations, to increase visibility for new graduates.
• Book Announcement: Description of a newly published book and its major contributions.
• Book Review: Tell us about a book you find valuable to your AI work.
• Tutorials: Short introductions to AI concepts or techniques, for the benefit of students and those new to the field – text, images, or video all welcome.
• Visual and Creative Pieces: Videos, images, puzzles, jokes, or memorable AI encounters.
• Personal Reflections and Observations: This is a broad category – send us your short thoughts. What’s your favourite AI concept, and why? What do you think the next big research area in the field will be? Get in touch. 

Email your ideas or submissions to aimatters@sigai.acm. We’ll reply and help you develop it for publication, if suitable. As well as reaching your ACM SIGAI colleagues, any relevant content can be posted to AIhub.org and Robohub.org, so you can reach a wider audience. 

Please note that calls for papers and other announcements for conferences or workshops are not appropriate for publication in the newsletter. 

All contributions are edited for relevance, clarity, and suitable length.
