  MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory - Definition, explanation
The MIT Artificial intelligence Laboratory was an interdisciplinary research entity at MIT founded in 1959, and one of the most influential and accomplished in the field.
In 2003, the AI Lab was merged with the Laboratory for Computer Science, another Project MAC descendant, to form CSAIL.
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.

  MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory was an interdisciplinary research entity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) which became one of the most influential and accomplished in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.
Research at MIT in the field of artificial intelligence began in 1959.
In 2003, the AI Lab (as it is commonly abbreviated) was merged with the Laboratory for Computer Science, the descendant of Project MAC, to form CSAIL.

 Forum for Artificial Intelligence
Researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly interested in computer games as a vehicle for their research.
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) that grow their own internal topology as well as learn their connection weights show a number of advantages over static ANNs in terms of learning speed, ability to learn difficult problems, and cognitive modeling.
The first artificially intelligent being that is activated will be the dawn of a new age in humanity, and how that being is treated will set a precedent from that day forward.

 Artificial Intelligence System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
intelligence: that human intelligence is merely the capacity of a naturally evolved organism to perform various sorts of operations--operations which are no different from those which might be performed by an artificial system.
Having artificial intelligence around would not only cut the tasks in half, but also it would save lots of valuable time that could be used to improve other areas in technology.
However banning artificial intelligence would prevent any further questions on where to draw the boundary line of what is and is not ethical.
