MEDIA ADVISORY | DECEMBER 5, 2001 "Forget 2001's HAL 9000, Star Trek's Commander Data or that awful Spielberg movie," said Powers. "Artificial intelligence in the everyday is much less ambitious and much more important -- both commercially and culturally -- than those mechanical human wannabes. Software that learns, judges and acts is pioneering the next big step in the Digital Age." The New York forum will examine AI approaches to searching and information retrieval, content analysis and filtering, electronic commerce and Web customer service, security and digital surveillance, data mining, decision support, and image analysis. A key discussion of intelligent agents and bots that act autonomously for the benefit of their human owners will forecast the effects of practical AI on companies and consumers. And the technical developments that enable practical artificial intelligence -- like the pervasive Internet, Web application services, the semantic Web, autonomic networking, genetic algorithms and neural networking -- will help explain recent trends. "As all business becomes e-business," Powers said, "the companies with the smartest robots and the best artificial intelligence will out-compete those with merely human assets. I've spent the last five years and 22 Internet Worlds watching e-business develop, and I'm very excited -- and a little frightened -- about where this is all leading." Powers is leaving the Internet World conference to develop an artificial intelligence study through IN3.ORG, his research institute in New York. |
