Seminar organised by IEEE Turkey:
Why Artificial Intelligence is Very
Hard

15:40 - Monday, Sept. 22nd
in room: EA 409 (Engineering Building, Bilkent)
Abstract:The promise of computer programs that would replicate general
human intelligence has been around for over 60 years but little progress
has been made. In contrast, there has been significant progress in
specific areas such as restricted speech recognition, chess playing, etc.
I will present the argument that human intelligence operates in quite
different ways than computers and it relies on processes that are still
poorly understood. Therefore progress can be made only when a task
associated with human intelligence is reduced to an engineering
description, a slow and hard process but one that has produced results in
the past.

ACM SIGART is a loose-knit group of people interested in all aspects
of artificial intelligence. It holds regular, informal meetings which
are open to anyone who wishes to turn up (beginners and experts are
always welcome.) As part of ACM we also
endeavour to educate and promote computing in general. Dates and times
of meetings are announced below, as well as on SIGART's noticeboard on
the 5th floor of the engineering faculty building and on various other
noticeboards around the campus. We also send email notices to everyone
on the
SIGART email announcements list.
