	John McCarthy (computer scientist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He helped to motivate the creation of Project MAC at MIT, but left MIT for Stanford University in 1962, where he helped set up the Stanford AI Laboratory, for many years a friendly rival to Project MAC.
		In 1961, he was the first to publicly suggest (in a speech given to celebrate MIT's centennial) that computer time-sharing technology might lead to a future in which computing power and even specific applications could be sold through the utility business model (like water or electricity).
		After short-term appointments at Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, and MIT, he became a full professor at Stanford in 1962, where he remained until his retirement at the end of 2000.

	Introduction to intelligence and basic ideas
		Therefore, Rodney Brooks at MIT AI laboratory argues that a large part of intelligence can be characterized by understanding the important elements of the dynamics of interaction with the world.
		The original ideas suggested by Rodney Brooks at the MIT AI laboratory was that the robot should have no memory at all.
		Many researchers in AI believe that what distinguishes the mind of a human from that of another biological entity is largely attributed to their physical experiences.

	McCarthy, 'great man' of computer science, wins major award
		Some current AI applications include game playing, computer vision and expert systems in which a so-called "knowledge engineer" has interviewed experts and programmed their knowledge into a computer to perform a task, such as medical diagnosis.
		He came to Stanford in 1953, then taught at Dartmouth and MIT before returning to Stanford in 1962 as a professor of computer science.
		He directed the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory here from 1965 to 1980 and was the Charles M. Pigott Professor in the School of Engineering from 1987 to 1994.

		Another concern was to use AI methodology to understand better some fundamental questions in the philosophy of science, including the process by which explanatory hypotheses are discovered or judged adequate.
		The other system was based on planning with constraints, in which planning decisions are made in the spaces of overall strategy, domain-independent decisions, and domain-dependent laboratory decisions, and the interaction of separate steps or subproblems of an experiment constitute constraints on the overall problem.

	Memorial Resolution: Marvin Chodorow
		At Hansen's and Frederick Terman's urging, the Stanford Trustees had approved the formation of an interdisciplinary Microwave Research Laboratory to exploit the scientific and engineering advances made possible by the Varian brothers' klystron.
		One of the Laboratory's primary aims was to increase the power of the klystron amplifier by the factor of 1000 needed to realize Hansen's vision of a linear electronic accelerator, a new research tool that would be capable of reaching electron energies well beyond the state of the art at that time.
		In 1976, at the dedication of the Applied Physics Building, the Laboratory was renamed the Edward L. Ginzton Laboratory in recognition of Ginzton's major contributions, and the fact that microwave was no longer an appropriate description of the ongoing research.

		In California, the Stanford AI Laboratory (SAIL) and the proximity to Silicon Valley led to the growth of another phone-hacking subcult of "phone Phreaks" in the 1970s, whose hero was a fellow who went by the name of Captain Crunch.
		He claimed that the "progress" the AI folks had been citing was an illusion, and attempted to prove that their goal was a delusion.

	Alan Turing
		Combining his ideas from mathematical logic, his experience in cryptology, and some practical electronic knowledge, his ambition, at the end of the war in Europe, was to create an electronic computer in the full modern sense.
		His plans, commissioned by the National Physical Laboratory, London, were overshadowed by the more powerfully supported American projects.
		Donald Michie, the British AI research pioneer profoundly influenced by early discussions with Turing, has called this suggestion ‘Alan Turing's Buried Treasure’, in an allusion to a bizarre wartime episode in which Michie was himself involved (Hodges 1983, p.
