Artificial
intelligence
needs a reboot,
say experts.
By Stephen Cass
Some of the
founders and
leading lights
in the
fields of
artificial
intelligence and
cognitive
science gave a
harsh assessment
last night of
the lack of
progress in AI
over the last
few
decades.
During a panel
discussion—moderated
by linguist and
cognitive
scientist Steven
Pinker—that
kicked off MIT's
Brains, Minds,
and Machines
symposium,
panelists called
for a return to
the style of
research that
marked the early
years of the

driven more by

Funny Bone
Joke of the Week
Question: What do you call someone who
keeps on talking when people are no
longer interested? Answer: A professor!
A sweet grandmother telephoned Mount
Sinai Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is
it possible to speak to someone who can
tell me how a patient is doing?"
The operator said, "I'll be glad to
help, Dear. What's the name and room
number?"
The grandmother in her weak tremulous
voice said, "Holly Finkel, room 302.
The Operator replied, "Let me check. Oh,
good news. Her record says that Holly is
doing very well. Her blood pressure is
fine; her blood work just came back as
normal and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has
scheduled her to be discharged Tuesday."
The Grandmother said, "Thank you. That's
wonderful! I was so worried! God bless
you for the good news."
The operator replied, "You're more than
welcome. Is Holly your daughter?"
The Grandmother said, "No, I'm Holly
Finkel in 302. No one tells me squat."

Quote of the Week
“You can have anything you want - if you
want it badly enough. You can be
anything you want to be, do anything you
set out to accomplish if you hold to
that desire with singleness of purpose.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
Did You Know....
...More than 50% of the people
in the world have never made or
received a telephone call.
