Artificial Humor
I like the
idea of comedic computers. I wish my ATM had a better
sense of humor. Artificial intelligence researchers are
creating computer programs that can recognize a good joke.
Scientists
are taking satire seriously because humor is an important
aspect of improved interaction between humans and
computers.
Here is a
quick test I created for your
humor bot:
Knock knock
Who's
there?
A.I.
A.I.
who?
A.I. heard you were looking for a good
joke.
If your computer laughs at
this, I would classify it as non-intelligent.

Alberta called Polaris, takes on poker
professionals, a real money poker tournament that is also a controlled scientific experiment.

The Theory of Intelligence
"AI scientists tried to program computers to act like
humans without first answering what intelligence is and
what it means to understand. -- from the book "On
Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins and Sandra Blakeslee.

meaty commentary by Lee Dye for ABCNews.com on the book "On

The State of Artificial Intelligence
In 1956 John McCarthy
coined the term "artificial intelligence". How far have we come since that time? Here
are some web sites with ongoing artificial intelligence
projects.
MIT Project Oxygen
- Bringing abundant computation and communication, as
pervasive and free as air, naturally into people's lives.
The Mind Project
is an international learning community where researchers,
teachers, students, publishers and a variety of others
explore together the wonders of the human mind and brain.
NASA's Intelligent Systems Project
- NASA has developed a bold vision focused on robotic
and combined human-robotic exploration of deep space.

Happened? - Wired Magazine
The Future of Artificial
Intelligence
The Future of A.I. - PBS, Jacqueline S.
Mitchell
"Intelligent machines might help us reach the stars - or
else they might eclipse us, and render our humanity
irrelevant."
Predicting the Future of AI - G4TV, Bruce Damer
"Will technology become sentient in the near future, or
should we just stop worrying about tech taking over?"
