• ArsDigita University Curriculum - Artificial Intelligence course taught by Patrick Winston. Lecture #1 (of 4): AI Overview, Rule-Based Expert Systems and Knowledge Engineering.
  ArsDigita University Curriculum: "The curriculum was modeled on the undergraduate CS program at MIT. Several of the courses were straightforward adoptions of MIT courses. A few were specifically designed for the program, which was roughly in line with the ACM's 2001 Model Curricula for Computing." June 4, 2001. (more)

• Recollections of early AI in Britain: 1942 - 1965. An interview with Professor Donald Michie.
  Video for the BCS Computer Conservation Society's October 2002 Conference on the history of AI in Britain. a/k/a Recollections of the Pioneers. "Q: What was your earliest contact with the idea of intelligent machinery? A: Arriving at Bletchley Park in 1942 I formed a friendship with Alan Turing, and in April 1943 with Jack Good. The three of us formed a sort of discussion club focused around Turing's astonishing 'child machine' concept. Hisproposal was to use our knowledge of how the brain acquires its intelligence as a model for designing a teachable intelligent machine." September, 2002. (more)

• The Grill: Ray Kurzweil talks about 'augmented reality' and the Singularity.
  The futurist and inventor talks about pervasive computing, augmented reality, and storage as a philosophical issue. By Ian Lamont. Computerworld (November 11, 2007). "[Q] What’s your definition of artificial intelligence? [A] Artificial intelligence is the ability to perform a task that is normally performed by natural intelligence, particularly human natural intelligence. We have in fact artificial intelligence that can perform many tasks that used to require -- and could only be done by -- human intelligence. There are hundreds of examples today, and they are deeply embedded in our economic infrastructure. All communication is governed by intelligent algorithms that route and connect the information. Programs are embedded into computer-assisted design systems. AI flies and lands airplanes, guides intelligent weapons systems, places billions of dollars of financial transactions each day. These examples are narrow AI, in that they are performing specific tasks, very often sophisticated tasks that required human experts to perform. [Q] What could slow down the arrival of strong AI, or of the 'smarter than human' technologies you call the Singularity? [A] There are really two areas to think about. One is hardware and one is software. ...". November 11, 2007. (more)
• The Next Big Thing (Series Two): Machines with Minds.
  Real moving, interacting robots is one promising direction in artificial intelligence. But what about the original hope of matching human performance, and what has A.I. told us about the human brain? When science of artificial intelligence was launched in the 50s, its goal was to match the intellectual achievements of human beings. Why isn't machine intelligence already far superior to that of people? Chaired by Colin Blakemore [Oxford University], the panel consists of Professor Aaron Sloman (University of Birmingham), Dr Amanda Sharkey (University of Sheffield), and Professor Igor Aleksander (Imperial College). 2002.

• What is Artificial Intelligence?
  One of the founders of the field of AI, McCarthy covers the basics in a question and answer format, starting with: "Q. What is artificial intelligence? A. It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. Q. Yes, but what is intelligence? A. Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in people, many animals and some machines." (more)
