Six researchers who are shaping the future of artificial intelligence

The 2002 Starting Artificial Intelligence Researchers Symposium

The Starting Artificial Intelligence Researchers Symposium (STAIRS-2002) was held in Lyon, France, on 22 to 23 July 2002 (Vidal and Liberatore 2002).1 STAIRS was a stand-alone conference but was affiliated with the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI2002), which took place at the same venue. It was the first international congress, with edited and published proceedings, specifi...

The Future of Artificial Intelligence

The first questions facing the development of artificial intelligence (AI), addressed by all three authors, are how likely it is that humanity will develop an artificial human-level intelligence at all, and when that might happen, with the implication that a human-level intelligence capable of utilizing abundantly available computational resources will quickly bootstrap itself into superintelli...
