[LINK] Talking about AI

[Frank O'Connor]

Ummm … Heuristics maybe?

There were a number of efforts in that area in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

I remember one offering, called Eurisko from memory, that showed a lot of promise … but it’s so long ago (!!!!) and I failed to keep up with developments in that field.

Scientific American was real keen on it for a while.

Just my 2 cents worth …
