AI celebrates its 50th anniversary

Artificial Intelligence (AI) was conceived in 1956 at a workshop held at Dartmouth College, NH. Celebrations of the event have been held at Ascona in Switzerland and in Boston, Mass.

The Neue Züricher Zeitung reported about the Ascona event on July 14, 2006 under the heading "Von Menschen und Würmern".

Wired News covered the Boston event in "AI reaches the Golden Years".

Both reports mention the difficulties of computers to develop common sense.
