Abstract :
In AI´s academic circles, we´re very good at inventing and refining new algorithms, methods, and techniques, and our conferences and journals teem with new developments and ideas. But what happened to that pioneering spirit that wanted to actually create artificial intelligence? To the casual observer, those early goals of machine intelligence seem to have been lost somewhere along the way. The AI world´s inventiveness knows do bounds, and we´re eagerly looking forward to the 2008 crop of innovation.
