	Minsky's Society of Mind
		To make his point about brains as machines, Minsky asks us to imagine replacing each cell in a brain with a computer chip designed to perform the same functions and connected to the other chips exactly as the brain cells are connected.
		Minsky has spent his life in a demanding field in which a theory of a process is as good as the program that one can write or the robot that one can build to instantiate it.
		Minsky’s book is an example of operational thinking at its best and will doubtless serve as a roadmap for much of the work in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology in years to come.

	Marvin Minsky.
		It seems to be true that Minsky and Papert, by focusing on the single-layer perceptron alone, did give an unduly negative view of Rosenblatt’s ideas — but if researchers were jailed for giving dismissive accounts of their rivals’ work, there wouldn’t be many on the loose today.
		The question we have to ask is why so much notice was apparently taken of Minsky and Papert when a judicious audience would surely have balanced their claims against those of Rosenblatt and his supporters.
		I suspect that both Minsky’s optimism and his attack on the perceptron should properly be seen as crystallizing in a particularly articulate and trenchant form views which were actually widespread at the time: Minsky was not so much a lonely but influential voice as the most conspicuous and effective exponent of the emergent consensus.

	Amazon.de: The Society of Mind: English Books: Marvin L. Minsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Minsky, cofounder of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab, is a charter member of the community of AI pioneers committed to understanding the workings of the human mind and mimicking its processes by computer.
		But Minsky's difference is his style: he writes aphoristically, with wit and precision, and makes the most of his perception that the mind learns by images, which perform as agents that connect, interact and even "censor" in a staggeringly subtle "society" of microprocedures.
		This holistic view of the mind's learning stages is the culmination of Minsky's study, and its insights into the developing world of computers-as-machines are matched by paradoxically intuitive glimpses of the growth of a sense of "self" through introspection, short- and long-term memory, mind-frames utilizing pictures and language.

		He may be known around campus as "Old Man Minsky," but the scientist is just as active in AI research today as he was when he helped pioneer the field as a young man in the 1950s.
		In 1959 Minsky cofounded the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, where he designed and built robotic hands that could "feel" and "see" and manipulate objects, a watershed in the field.
		It is a blueprint for a thinking machine that Minsky would like to build—an artificial intelligence that can reflect on itself—taking us a step forward into a future that may seem as if out of an Asimov story.

	Technology Review: Marvin Minsky on Common Sense and Computers That Emote
		Marvin Minsky, emeritus professor of media arts and sciences at MIT, was one of the original participants in the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence in 1956.
		Technology Review interrupted Minsky on July 11, as he was proofing the galleys for his forthcoming book, The Emotion Machine, which reinterprets the human mind as a "cloud of resources," or mini-machines that turn on and off depending on the situation and give rise to our various emotional and mental states.
		It is a shame that Minsky's work turned up so many dead ends, and ironic that one of the primary researchers who have begun to really understand how the brain works is Jeff Hawkins ("On Intelligence"), for whom brain function was a hobby until recently.

		Top computer scientists from around the world are meeting today at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, to mark the 50th anniversary of "artificial intelligence." Back in 1956, John McCarthy, then a member of Dartmouth's mathematics faculty, invented the term for the field's seminal gathering, the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence.
		McCarthy and four other participants in the 1956 project, including MIT's Marvin Minsky, are participating in this week's meeting, which focuses on AI's next 50 years.
