academia and industry in computing fields. \u00a0 We reach the following conclusions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In certain computing disciplines, such as currently artificial intelligence, we observe <b>significant increases in the level of interaction between professors and companies<\/b>, which take the form of extended joint appointments.<\/li>\n<li>Increasingly, <b>companies are highly motivated to engage<\/b> both professors and graduate students working in specific technical areas because companies view computing research and technical talent as a core aspect of their business success.<\/li>\n<li>There is also the further potential for principles and values from the academy (e.g., ethics, human-centered approaches, etc.) informing products and R&D roadmaps in new ways through these unique joint arrangements.<\/li>\n<li>This increasing connection between faculty, students, and companies <b>has the potential to change (either positively or negatively) numerous things, including<\/b>:\n<ul>\n<li>The academic culture in computing research universities<\/li>\n<li>The research topics that faculty and students pursue<\/li>\n<li>The ability to solve bigger problems with bigger impact than what academia can do alone<\/li>\n<li>The ability of universities to train undergraduate and graduate students<\/li>\n<li>How companies and universities cooperate, share, and interact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This report is the first step in engaging the broader computing research community, raising awareness of the opportunities, complexities and
