Poggio and his student proteges at MIT's artificial intelligence (A.I.) lab are in the process of building a machine which may someday be able to perform all the functions of a human eye: detecting the position, motion, shape and texture of almost any object.
Artificial "eyes" have been built before. "The most successful have only been able to deal with a constrained world: blocks and cubes painted a uniform color under controlled lighting," says Poggio. When complete, Poggio's invention will be able to recognize a human face.
MIT, along with Stanford and Carnegie-Mellon, is at the forefront of artificial intelligence research, scientists there claim.
Artificial intelligence researchers have set their sights high, and are optimistic about the chances of major breakthroughs in coming years. Most scientists at the labs feel that there is no fundamental limit to how closely machines can be made to resemble humans.
The deficit must be reduced. But politicians should be open about how they intend to do it. Many say privately that they intend to raise taxes when the political climate for an increase is less forbidding. More than likely, some of these Congressmen see Gramm-Rudman as an opportunity for...
