AAAI Fellow

Fellowship of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence is an award granted to individuals that the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, judged to have made "significant, sustained contributions — usually over at least a ten-year period — to the field of artificial intelligence". Only a small percentage of members are nominated Fellows of the AAAI.
