  MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory was an interdisciplinary research entity at MIT founded in 1959 which became one of the most influential and accomplished in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics.
The AI Lab (as it is commonly abbreviated) was originally a subdivision of Project MAC.
The AI Lab is currently interested principally in the problems of vision, mechanical motion and manipulation, and language, which they view as the keys to more intelligent machines.

 Artificial intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AI methods were used to schedule units in the first Gulf War, and the costs saved by this efficiency have repaid the US government's entire investment in AI research since the 1950s.
AI systems are now in routine use in many businesses, hospitals and military units around the world, as well as being built into many common home computer software applications and video games.
AI methods are often employed in cognitive science research, which tries to model subsystems of human cognition.

 How to do research at the MIT AI Lab   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
AI papers have abstracts, which are supposed to tell you what's in them, but frequently don't; so you have to jump about, reading a bit here or there, to find out what the authors actually did.
AI is unusual as a discipline in that much of the useful work is done by graduate students, not people with doctorates, who are often too busy being managers.
AI is about hacking;'' ``You have to know what's computed before you ask how.'' To succeed at AI, you have to be good at technical methods and you have to be suspicious of them.

 MIT AI Lab Tourist Policy
While tourists are expected to contribute to MIT's research objectives, they are unlikely to be in the mainstream of the on-going work and should therefore consider their role and use of the MIT ITS machine a privilege.
The MIT ITS systems have no file protection, hence it is incumbent on all users to exercise great care when exploring the file system.
Any use of the MIT ITS machines for personal gain, profit making enterprise, or political purposes is not a legitimate use of the Laboratories' computer resources.

 Ai Research - Creating a new form of life - Academic AI
Taken as a whole, the goal of the MIT AI Lab is to create a computational theory of intelligence that covers everything from how behavior works to the operations of neurons.
An offshoot of the MIT AI Lab's Intelligent Room, Hal has cameras for eyes, microphones for ears, and uses a variety of vision, speech and gesture recognition systems to allow people to interact naturally with it.
Also at MIT, the Software Agents group of the MIT Media Laboratory is looking for ways to create computer systems, called "agents," which are "semi-autonomous, proactive, and adaptive." A software agent, in theory, can keep your checkbook balanced and order pizza for you, while renegotiating your mortgage and trading your stocks.

The architecture solves three major problems with character AI: minor setbacks causing a character to lose focus on a long term goal, characters getting stuck on a goal that is no longer relevant, and robust handling of animation and character physics.
Insect AI agents exhibit a number of interesting properties which satisfy the characteristics of motivated behavior as defined in the ethological literature - behaviors can be grouped and sequenced, the agents are goal directed, behavior can change based on the internal state of the agent, and behaviors can persist if stimuli are removed.
AI is not an afterthought; an interactive system should be designed with AI in mind from the beginning.

 About the GNU Project - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
The AI Lab used a timesharing operating system called ITS (the Incompatible Timesharing System) that the lab's staff hackers (1) had designed and written in assembler language for the Digital PDP-10, one of the large computers of the era.
As a member of this community, an AI lab staff system hacker, my job was to improve this system.
In 1981, the spin-off company Symbolics had hired away nearly all of the hackers from the AI lab, and the depopulated community was unable to maintain itself.

 Multics Emacs History/Design/Implementation
As this went on, users on MIT's Multics system willing to experiment with the new editor were forced to use it via the ARPANET, for those administratively allowed to use the ARPANET, or experiment with it in non-real-time mode (typing a linefeed to activate, i.e., cause Multics to take cognizance of) previously typed input.
Other implementations, such as the Stanford AI Lab SUPDUP server, must convert local codes to ITS output buffer codes.) The user host (the one to which the user is physically logged in), running a "user SUPDUP program," receives all network output as ITS buffer codes, and uses it to control the local screen.

 The Prospect of Mind Uploading
Functionalism is essential to the Strong AI Postulate [12], which basically states that an intelligent machine can be built, at least in principle.
Functionalism has the advantage of not only being compatible with the materialist approaches to mind uploading, but it also presents the possibility of developing intricate cortical implants and auxiliary systems to enhance cognition once a strong understanding of the information processing relationship between mind and body is developed.
There already exists a robot at MIT known as Kismet [17] that performs rudimentary social interaction via its facial expressions.

 What is a Knowledge Representation?
Numerous papers have lobbied for one or another variety of representation, other papers have argued for various properties a representation should have, while still others have focused on properties that are important to the notion of representation in general.
As a consequence of the relative youth of AI as a discipline, insights about the nature of intelligent reasoning have often come from work in other fields.
We suggest that representation technologies should not be considered as opponents to be overcome, forced to behave in a particular way, but should instead be understood on their own terms and used in ways that rely on the insights that were their original inspiration and source of power.
