Why AI Failed (and a comment by Bill Gates) (web.media.mit.edu)

Written a dozen years ago, yet still interesting.

I often wish I had taken a bigger interest in math, because AI really, really intrigues me. I'm finishing up a CS degree, but that hasn't stopped me from thinking how it'd be interesting working toward developing true AI. Unfortunately, without lots of knowledge in neuroscience and very high-level math, that's something I'll probably watch from afar.

1 AND 1 = 1, if operation is executed in < Time (T)

1 AND 1 = 0, if operation is executed in > Time (T)

IC should be smart enough to realize this difference.

Till then AI won't succeed.
