IEEE Intelligent Systems is pleased to announce that we have completed the selection of our first ever “IEEE IS Ten to Watch” awardees to be included in a “AI Ten to Watch” article which will be featured in a forthcoming special issue we are publishing to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the Dartmouth Workshop (generally considered the birthplace of modern AI).
Nominations of the top AI researchers to have received their PhD in the past few years were solicited from a wide range of well-known AI researchers and department chairs. We received over 50 nominations from the US, Europe and Asia, and a committee of senior members of
the IEEE Intelligent Systems Advisory Board picked the top ten. All the nominees were eminently qualified and doing exciting work, and the ten winners represent the very best of the field of AI.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2006 AI Ten to Watch:

• Eyal Amir
• Regina Barzilay
• Jennifer Golbeck
• Tom Griffiths
• Steven Gustafson
• Carsten Lutz
• Pragnesh Jay Modi
• Marta Sabou
• Push Singh
• Richard Watson

An article on these “Ten to Watch” with more information about each of them will be published in our forthcoming May/June 2006 issue.

Please join me in congratulating this very talented cadre of AI researchers.
