The future of AI is in making machines that can adapt to new situations.

AI is a challenging field.

The ability to make decisions is a key aspect of intelligence.

LISP is a beautiful language.

The goal of AI is to create machines that can understand the world.

We need to make computers that can learn from observation.

The future of AI is in making machines that can collaborate with humans.

AI is an important field.

The ability to solve problems is a key aspect of intelligence.

LISP is a very expressive language.

The goal of AI is to create machines that can reason about their own actions.

We propose that a 2 month, 10 man study of artificial intelligence be carried out during the summer of 1956 at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

The study is to proceed on the basis of the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.

An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves.

We think that a significant advance can be made in one or more of these problems if a carefully selected group of scientists work on it together for a summer.

Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.

The digital computer is an insult to my intelligence, but a delight to my curiosity.

Lisp is a language for expressing programs in the same way that English is for expressing thoughts.

Garbage collection was a revolutionary idea when it was first proposed.

Time-sharing systems are the wave of the future.
