Robotics lên trang đầu
Tờ NY Times vừa có bài Brainy Robots Start Stepping into Daily Life, nhắc lại vụ Stanley của Stanford. Bài báo nhắc khá nhiều đến Stanford, quá ít đến CMU (anh Nguyên nhắn các lão làm PR nhiều lên nhé)
During the 1960’s and 1970’s, the original artificial intelligence researchers began designing computer software programs they called “expert systems,” which were essentially databases accompanied by a set of logical rules. They were handicapped both by underpowered computers and by the absence of the wealth of data that today’s researchers have amassed about the actual structure and function of the biological brain.
Those shortcomings led to the failure of a first generation of artificial intelligence companies in the 1980’s, which became known as the A.I. Winter. Recently, however, researchers have begun to speak of an A.I. Spring emerging as scientists develop theories on the workings of the human mind. They are being aided by the exponential increase in processing power, which has created computers with millions of times the power of those available to researchers in the 1960’s — at consumer prices.
Tôi tưởng tượng ra John McCarthy ngồi cười phì, lầm bầm gì đó về common sense.
