Artificial Intelligence
copy these out from textbook survey
Provide a down-to-earth example in the second paragraph.
- This could use some copy editing.
- Crevier, p. 254: The society of mind as scruffy. Great quote from Dennett about the essence of "scruffiness."
Do we also need an article with the the title "Adversarial search"?
- Tie this to the definitions given in the textbook you bought.
Fix weird section mentioning "Strong AI". Rename it Chatterbots and the Turing Test And create another Applications of chatterbots
If this ever becomes an article:
Human beings use symbolic processes to solve problems, reason, speak and write, learn and invent. Over the past 45 years, cognitive psychology has built and tested empirical models of these processes as they are used to perform simple tasks and then more complex ones. The models take the form of computer programs that simulate human behaviour,” Herbert A Simon, who is considered the father of AI, has said.The Financial Express, Take The Right Business Decision With The Help Of AI, posted 15 July 2007, retrieved 17 Aug 2007.

If these truly are the same thing.
Future of AI, Ethics of AI, Strong AI, AI in fiction
- Read last two section of R&N
- Poole and Bowman discuss 'Strong AI vs. Weak AI"
- Hal plays chess; this was an important test of AI technology
- The computer graphics were from the MIT lab.
See notes at Talk:artificial brain
- Add this to Singularity
- In an interview on C-Net, John McCarthy dismissed Kurzweil's singularity as "nonsense" and added "I don't think Kurzweil has any ideas that have any potential to do that."[1] McCarthy has been a leader in artificial intelligence since it's inception, but unlike many of his contemporaries, has been reluctant to make predicitions.
History of artificial intelligence
- Add (referenced) events from History of artificial intelligence
- Add other events from crevier and McCorduck
- Reference existing events
Philosophy of artificial intelligence
- Thought experiment is plagiarized from here; rewrite.
- Mention that "strong AI" is hard to construe and that some think it has bearing on the Dartmouth proposal.
- Find page number for "syntax is insufficient for semantics"
- Look at Hauser 97, p. 1, Hauser 05 p. 8, and Harnad 97 p.1 for more (and better) quotes for the history section.
- Find reference where Searle talks about the "background". (May have to read a lot of Searle to find this ... )
- Check Kurzweil references
- Variations on the test: Define "restricted" vs. "unrestricted".
- There are two broken or missing citations. Research is needed.
- The sections that describe various colloquia read like press releases. They don't establish the historical significance of these events. I recommend we cut them.
- Add philosophical background from Haugaland and Dreyfus
- Write empty sections
- Rewrite replies that don't read well.
- Section on Turing's speculations; should include the fact that this is still called the "Turing Method" in England; find a sourcd on that.
Cognitive science
- Use my references and examples -- fill it out, make it clear.
Embodiment articles
General references:
- "Embodied Cognition" in the internet encyclopedia of philosophy
- Six Views of Embodied Cognition
- Interview with Lakoff
- Seems to be about artificial life
- Boston Globe
- Embodied Cognitive Science (Pfeifer's definition)
- Embodied Cognition: a field guide
- How to study the mind: An introduction to embodied cognition Michael L. Anderson
Theory of computation
- Mark as needing references.
- Add text about algorithms that experience combinatorial explosions. Disambiguate and expand.
- Find a source that indicates the general importance of this idea in the history of computer science.
- Write layman's introduction to the implications of NP-Completeness. This could go in Moore's Law, or in Combinatorial explosion or both.
MOJO Project
Read articles in all the old Mojos and randomly fix up music articles.
Innovation and technological change
Read all articles in these categories:
- Category:Technological change Move down into Innovation
- Category:Science and technology studies Check if any of these belong in Innovation
- Category:Philosophy of technology Check if any of these belong in innovation
- Category:Technology in society ditto
- Category:History of technology
You want to wind up with a reading list based on the sources of these articles.
- Re-Add the illustration from Gordon Moore's notes.
- Need an opening graphic that shows transistor density but not on a log-log graph. There is data at instructions per second.
- Add section on Sociological and Historical Impact of increasing computer power.
- Make a graph showing transportation speeds, engine horsepower, etc., for comparison.
