  Artificial intelligence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Artificial intelligence theory also draws from animal studies, in particular with insects, which are easier to emulate as robots (see artificial life), as well as animals with more complex cognition, including apes, who resemble humans in many ways but have less developed capacities for planning and cognition.
Artificial intelligence began as an experimental field in the 1950s with such pioneers as Allen Newell and Herbert Simon, who founded the first Artificial intelligence laboratory at Carnegie-Mellon University, and McCarthy and Marvin Minsky, who founded the MIT AI Lab in 1959.
Artificial intelligence research was very heavily funded in the 1980s by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in the United States and by the fifth generation computer systems project in Japan.

 Friendly artificial intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In future studies, Friendly Artificial Intelligence, or FAI is a model for creating moral and "safe" artificial intelligence, in accordance with the principles of Friendliness theory, advanced by researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky and the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
Friendliness is used as a term of art distinct from the everyday meaning of the term.
Promoting Friendly AI is one of the primary goals of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, along with obtaining funding for, and ultimately creating a seed AI program implementing the ideas of Friendliness theory.

 Wikinfo | Friendly artificial intelligence
Creating Friendly artificial intelligence (often abbreviated FAI) is an issue at the intersection of ethics and artificial intelligence (AI) research.
Proponents of Friendliness theory make the analogy of raising a teenager; until that person is legally responsible, the parent is responsible for its well-being and for maintaining control and monitoring safety of its actions, and negotiating privileges.
Friendliness toward a person goes a long way toward earning their respect; tyranny creates resentment, and causes secretive behaviour.

 Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not defined in the same way by all who use the term because of disagreement over what intelligent behavior is. One faction within the AI community defines intelligence as the ability to cope with change and to incorporate new information in order to improve performance.
Artificial intelligence software also is being incorporated into speech recognition systems that make computers more user friendly.
Artificial intelligence is clearly merging with the field in which most computer professionals are employed, the development and maintenance of management information systems (MIS).

 Rethinking Artificial Intelligence
Intelligent systems for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) will enter into the environment of knowledge workers as capable assistants who respond to problems both by presenting relevant information and more significantly by finding other members of the organization who possess true expertise relevant to the problem at hand.
Intelligent HCI systems will not only establish, but also support the interactions between the collaborating problem solvers; in particular, they will have models of interaction styles relevant to different stages of a project and will help at each stage to facilitate interactions with the greatest likelihood of benefit.
Intelligent HCI systems will lead to a highly fluid organization in which teams can be established and disbanded as needed.

The main danger is that the creators of the first transhuman intelligence will be in a rush, lacking the necessary knowledge to transfer over the essential priors of human altruism, and end up creating a transhuman intelligence with goals too simple to permit configurations of matter as complex as sentient beings enjoying themselves.

 Artificial Intelligence - a CompInfo Directory
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent.
The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times, and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into AI programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality.
These include artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, knowledge-based systems, and artificial intelligence and draw on the advances in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science.

 Future Hi: Artificial or Natural Intelligences   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
But after saying that, let me emphasize that what I have confidence in, when it comes to human evolution, is not particularly an individual human ability to think oneself logically into acting in the sane and rational and responsible way that the control of our new technological capabillities would require.
