Formation of the ACM SIGAI bay area chapter

chapter. It was founded in April 2014 on the premise that the Bay Area needs a place for AI researchers and engineers to come together as a community of people who are helping each other. The idea came together when we asked ourselves a simple question during lunch one of the days in the beginning of 2014: There is a lot of AI research happening in the Bay Area; how come we don’t have a corresponding SIGAI chapter? As a group, we decided to rectify this matter urgently!
