Aaron Sloman: A Bright Tile in AI's Mosaic

Abstract

When AI was still a glimmer in Alan Turing's eye, and when (soon afterwards) it was the new kid on the block at MIT and elsewhere, it wasn't regarded primarily as a source of technical gizmos for public use or commercial exploitation (Boden 2006, p. 10.i-ii). To the contrary, it was aimed at illuminating the powers of the human mind. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
