Although supercomputers are dazzling in their power and engineering virtuosity, hardware alone will only partly achieve the eventual goal of computer scientists: the creation of systems that can mimic the decision- making powers of human beings. This goal is called AI, for artificial intelligence, and it has eluded computer programmers...
Eighteen months ago scarcely a handful of these systems existed in business and government. Now there are an estimated 1,000 to 3,000 in daily use, and the number is increasing by 50% annually. They grew out of much touted artificial-intelligence research into human decision making in the...
Commercial systems derived from artificial intelligence suddenly seem to be everywhere. Some examples:
Despite these gains, current systems operate within strict limits and too often behave more like idiots savants than experts. Second-wave systems as yet have no common sense or awareness of the world outside their narrow slice of expertise. At high-tech redoubts like Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center...
The second wave had a rocky start. Too often, enthusiastic young computer nerds babbling in technospeak would sell flashy systems to computer-dazzled counterparts in the research divisions of Fortune 500 companies. In turn, the corporate techies built glitzy prototypes that ran on exotic hardware. By the mid-1980s it...
