	Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (also known as Stanford AI Lab or SAIL) is the artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory of Stanford University.
		SAIL was reopened in 2004, with Sebastian Thrun becoming its new director.
		SAIL, the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language, was developed by Dan Swinehart and Bob Sproull of the Stanford AI Lab in 1970

	'Retirement party' for 25-year-old computer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		STANFORD -- Stanford's computer science department is playing host to a combination birthday party, last rites and wake for one of the oldest operating timesharing systems in the world.
		Earnest says SAIL even played an important role in upgrading itself to a DEC-10 in the early 1970s and has spawned a number of successful commercial ventures.
		Stanford News Service has an extensive library of images, some of which may be available to you online.

	SAIL Spinoffs
		SAIL was apparently the first system in the world that put terminals in offices -- before that, the few computer displays that existed were kept in "display rooms." This display system also included an advanced keyboard that introduced the "Meta" key and other features to facilitate touch-typing.
		SAIL was connected to ARPAnet around that time, and programs and data began circulating between the research sites through a mixture of donation and benign thievery.
		In 1979 SAIL rejoined the computer science department in a new building on the main Stanford campus, but effectively lost its organizational identity in the process.

		She is a co-author and technical leader of the Stanford KSL ontology evolution environment.
		Stanford's focus in this program was on building, distributing, and evolving collaborative and individual knowledge bases and in building rich environments for manipulating knowledge.
		One technical effort she led was the Chimaera Ontology Environment that focuses on ontology evolution with special emphasis on merging ontologies and analyzing ontologies for possible or provable problems.

	AI reemerges from a funding desert - Business - International Herald Tribune
		While artificial intelligence technology is already in use in telephone answering systems with speech recognition and in popular household gadgets like the iRobot vacuum cleaner, none of the existing systems have been as ambitious as Darpa's "Grand Challenge" road race.
		New artificial intelligence systems, like that embodied in Stanley, are now capable of evaluating a huge amount of data from sensors and then making probabilistic decisions.
		Until recently, progress in artificial intelligence lagged so far behind computing technology that some in the field talked about an "AI winter," after commercial and government funding evaporated in the mid-1980s.

	STANFORD Magazine: January/February 2006 > Departments > Bright Ideas
		The race was a big disappointment for researchers in Stanford’s artificial intelligence laboratory, who had not entered a vehicle but hoped the race would be a showcase for advancements in robotic engineering.
		To succeed in the race, Stanford engineers would have to develop a navigation system that could keep their car on the road, recognize and avoid obstacles, and select speeds appropriate to the terrain.
		A blue glint appeared on the horizon and the crowd began to chant, “Stan-ley, Stan-ley.” DARPA officials were parked at the finish to ceremonially press the remote control stop button as director Anthony Tether waved the checkered flag.

		I became interested in office use of computers in 1957, and this was one of the motivations for my research on time-sharing - the main one being use in artificial intelligence research.
		The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory received its PDP-6 computer in 1966, and it was planned to use the computer for office applications from the beginning.

	The Chinese Room Argument (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Searle's argument is a direct challenge to proponents of Artificial Intelligence, and the argument also has broad implications for functionalist and computational theories of meaning and of mind.
		Artificial Intelligence (AI) has produced computer programs that can beat the world chess champion, and programs with which one can converse in natural language.
		In passing, Haugeland makes the unusual claim, argued for elsewhere, that genuine intelligence and semantics presuppose “the capacity for a kind of commitment in how one lives” which is non-propositional — that is, love.

	Logic and Artificial Intelligence (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Artificial Intelligence (which I'll refer to hereafter by its nickname, "AI") is the subfield of Computer Science devoted to developing programs that enable computers to display behavior that can (broadly) be characterized as intelligent.
		From McCarthy and Hayes 1969, it is clear that McCarthy thinks of his methodology for AI as overlapping to a large extent with traditional philosophy, but adding to it the need to inform the design of programs capable of manifesting general intelligence.
		In practice, the actual theories that have emerged from McCarthy's methodology are influenced most strongly by work in philosophical logic, and the research tradition in logical AI represents a more or less direct development of this work, with some changes in emphasis.

	The Dangers of Technological Development
		The precise definition of “thinking” is debatable, and some philosophers contend that a machine is principally incapable of adequately emulating the mental life of a human being.
		At the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Cog Shop seeks to “bring together each of the many subfields of Artificial Intelligence into one unified, coherent, functional whole.” There, scientists are building Cog—a robot that will eventually have vision, hearing, touch, and humanoid form.
		To complement this hardware-oriented approach, several research groups are also tackling the problem of artificial intelligence from a software viewpoint.

	[No title]
		By analogy with the evolution of natural intelligence, we believe that incrementally solving the control and perception problems of an autonomous mobile mechanism is one of the best ways of arriving at general artificial intelligence.
		@heading(Introduction) Experience with the Stanford Cart @cite(Moravec77, Moravec79, Moravec81), a minimal computer controlled mobile camera platform, suggested to me that, while maintaining such a complex piece of hardware was a demanding task, the effort could be worthwhile from the point of view of artificial intelligence and computer vision research.
		Though the SAIL computer had a flash digitizer which sent its data through a disk channel into main memory at high speed, it was limited by a poor sync detector.

		Stanford professor Sebastian Thrun with "Stanley," the car that used machine-learning techniques to drive itself 132 miles across the desert.
		With most neural nets, the software must be trained on a huge number of cases for it to learn the many variations -- size and position of an object, angle of view, background and so on -- it's likely to encounter.
		GP pioneer John Koza, a consulting professor in electrical engineering at Stanford, has used the method to design circuits, controllers, optical systems and antennas that perform as well as or better than those with patented designs.
