''AI Alumni & Friends'' is an informal social network of alumni,
students, staff and other friends of artificial intelligence at 
[http://www.fmph.uniba.sk/ Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics] of [http://www.uniba.sk/ Comenius University] in
Bratislava, Slovakia.

Artificial Intelligence education at Comenius University relies on a
tradition reaching to 80's of the last century. AI education was
traditionally, since 1988, provided by Institute of Informatics
associated with FMFI UK, which was later incorporated into the newly created
[http://dai.fmph.uniba.sk/ Department of Applied Informatics]. Even
though, except for short period at the beginning of 90's, artificial
intelligence did not have its own department, this specialisation was
always attracting enthusiastic students. Many of them later successfully
continued their scientific research careers on universities, research
institutes and industry all around the world.

===Ambitions and aims===

The main aim of the ''AI Alumni & Friends'' network is to facilitate
contact and interaction of AI alumni as well as associated AI
enthusiasts with their ''Alma Mater'', its current students,
faculty and staff.

Social contacts are, and always were, the best tool for job search and
professional career advancement. Contacts with alumni, still active in
the field in various research or industry positions at home as well as
abroad, can therefore help the current students find their own way
towards their future professional career.

Last, but not least, the ''AI Alumni & Friends'' network has an ambition
to represent the quality of Artificial Intelligence education at FMFI
UK and thus also atract new and motivate current students of FMFI UK to join the family of AI enthusiasts around the study programme.
