This year, Nathan Sturtevant was among those elected as AAAI Fellows for his contributions to "theory and algorithms of heuristic search, pathfinding, and games" as well as his hand in developing benchmarks and educational resources for the topic.

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's Fellows program was started in 1990 to recognize individuals who have made significant, sustained contributions — usually over at least a ten-year period — to the field of artificial intelligence.

Founded in 1979, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) (formerly the American Association of Artificial Intelligence) is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to advancing the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines.
