The highly anticipated list of the 2026 AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) Fellows has been officially released. This year, a total of 12 distinguished scholars have been elected to this prestigious group, among whom are four outstanding Chinese scholars. These Chinese scholars are Tian Qi, the Director of the Guangming Laboratory; Bo An from Nanyang Technological University; Irwin King from The Chinese University of Hong Kong; and Liu Rui (it's worth noting that there are other individuals with the same name on the list, so accurate identification is necessary).

Tian Qi has earned his place on this esteemed list due to his remarkable and groundbreaking contributions in the realms of computer vision, multimedia, and artificial intelligence within the field of scientific computing. His work has not only advanced the frontiers of knowledge in these areas but has also had a significant impact on the development and application of artificial intelligence technologies.
