We are pleased to announce that we will be offering an introduction to science communication for AI researchers in AAAI this year. This is on Wednesday, January 21, from 1:00 to 14:30. The course is part of the University Students’ Union programme. However, if you are attending the conference and would like to learn how to communicate your research to a general audience in different formats, we welcome you to join us.
The session will include conversation, Q&A, and the opportunity to try out some of the activities presented in the tutorial. You will have the opportunity to receive advice on any ideas or questions you have in the field of science communication.

About the session
Scientific communication is essential. It helps demystify AI for a wide range of people including policy makers, business leaders and the public. As a researcher, mastering this skill can not only enhance your communication abilities, but it can also expand your network and increase the visibility and impact of your work.
In this brief tutorial, we’ll teach you how to explain your research clearly and concisely to non-specialists. You’ll learn how to avoid the hype, how to find the right images to illustrate your work, and where to start with social media.
