Focused on ensuring the association is on the right path
The Artificial Intelligence Researchers Association is a society driven by our vision, purpose and objectives. We look to our volunteer Governance Board and Executive Committee to ensure that the association is on the right path.
The Governance Board operates in accordance with a Constitution and works collaboratively to set strategic direction, procure necessary resources, and make key decisions aligned with the Association’s vision, purpose and objectives.
Subject to the Constitution the Executive Committee supports the Board to deliver on the Association's vision.
