List of basic artificial intelligence topics
copy these out from textbook survey

Neats vs. scruffies

 * 1) This could use some copy editing.
 * 2) Crevier, p. 254: The society of mind as scruffy. Great quote from Dennett about the essence of "scruffiness."

Game artificial intelligence and
Do we also need an article with the the title "Adversarial search"?

Cognitive simulation
If this ever becomes an article:

Human beings use symbolic processes to solve problems, reason, speak and write, learn and invent. Over the past 45 years, cognitive psychology has built and tested empirical models of these processes as they are used to perform simple tasks and then more complex ones. The models take the form of computer programs that simulate human behaviour,” Herbert A Simon, who is considered the father of AI, has said.The Financial Express, Take The Right Business Decision With The Help Of AI, posted 15 July 2007, retrieved 17 Aug 2007.

Concept mining -- Information extraction
If these truly are the same thing.

Future of AI, Ethics of AI, Strong AI, AI in fiction

 * 1) Read last two section of R&N

HAL 9000

 * 1) Poole and Bowman discuss 'Strong AI vs. Weak AI"
 * 2) Hal plays chess; this was an important test of AI technology
 * 3) The computer graphics were from the MIT lab.

Artificial brain
See notes at Talk:artificial brain

Singularity

 * 1) Add this to Singularity
 * In an interview on C-Net, John McCarthy dismissed Kurzweil's singularity as "nonsense" and added "I don't think Kurzweil has any ideas that have any potential to do that." McCarthy has been a leader in artificial intelligence since it's inception, but unlike many of his contemporaries, has been reluctant to make predicitions.

Timeline of artificial intelligence

 * 1) Add (referenced) events from History of artificial intelligence
 * 2) Add other events from crevier and McCorduck
 * 3) Reference existing events

Dreyfus' critique of artificial intelligence
Done

Turing Test

 * 1) Variations on the test: Define "restricted" vs. "unrestricted".
 * 2) There are two broken or missing citations. Research is needed.
 * 3) The sections that describe various colloquia read like press releases. They don't establish the historical significance of these events. I recommend we cut them.

Physical symbol system

 * 1) Add philosophical background from Haugaland and Dreyfus
 * 2) Write empty sections

Computing Machinery and Intelligence

 * 1) Rewrite replies that don't read well.
 * 2) Section on Turing's speculations; should include the fact that this is still called the "Turing Method" in England; find a sourcd on that.

Conceptual metaphor

 * 1) Use my references and examples -- fill it out, make it clear.

Embodiment articles
General references:
 * "Embodied Cognition" in the internet encyclopedia of philosophy
 * Six Views of Embodied Cognition
 * Interview with Lakoff
 * Seems to be about artificial life
 * Boston Globe
 * Embodied Cognitive Science (Pfeifer's definition)
 * Embodied Cognition: a field guide
 * How to study the mind: An introduction to embodied cognition Michael L. Anderson

Combinatorial explosion

 * 1) Mark as needing references.
 * 2) Add text about algorithms that experience combinatorial explosions. Disambiguate and expand.
 * 3) Find a source that indicates the general importance of this idea in the history of computer science.

Intractability

 * 1) Write layman's introduction to the implications of NP-Completeness. This could go in Moore's Law, or in Combinatorial explosion or both.

Innovation and technological change
Read all articles in these categories: You want to wind up with a reading list based on the sources of these articles.
 * Move down into Innovation
 * Check if any of these belong in Innovation
 * Check if any of these belong in innovation
 * ditto
 * ditto

Moore's Law

 * 1) Re-Add the illustration from Gordon Moore's notes.
 * 2) Need an opening graphic that shows transistor density but not on a log-log graph. There is data at instructions per second.
 * 3) Add section on Sociological and Historical Impact of increasing computer power.
 * 4) Make a graph showing transportation speeds, engine horsepower, etc., for comparison.
