The Brazilian AI@50

This year the three communities (IBERAMIA, SBIA and SBRN) celebrate the 50th anniversary of Artificial Intelligence. We have called this event "The Brazilian AI@50".

Therefore, we have created a page named wikIA ("wiki sobre Inteligência Artificial no Brasil") - http://wikia.iv.fapesp.br – to include all the information about the Brazilian AI research groups. The idea behind this page is to offer researchers a site to add and present information about their AI activities and also to compute some statistics about the AI research in Brazil.

WikIA has been created as a project of the FAPESP incubator (http://incubadora.fapesp.br/).

As part of the celebration of the Brazilian AI@50, we are proposing the community a special award: "The AI Scientific Achievement Award" which will be given to honor individuals who have achieved scientific contributions in the field.
