Abstract: From 2021-2024, INFORMS, ACM SIGAI, and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) hosted three workshops to explore synergies between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) to improve decision-making. The workshops aimed to create a unified research vision for AI/OR collaboration, focusing on overcoming cultural differences and maximizing societal impact. The first two workshops addressed technological innovations, applications, and trustworthy AI development, while the final workshop highlighted specific areas for AI/OR integration. Participants discussed 'Challenge Problems' and strategies for combining AI and OR techniques. This report outlines five key recommendations to enhance AI/OR collaboration: 1. funding opportunities, 2. joint education, 3. long-term research programs, 4. aligning conferences/journals, and 5. benchmark creation.
