Harvard and MIT Join to Address Intelligence

We were heavily involved in the last Artificial Intelligence hype peak in the late 80s.  Despite some big successes we saw it languish, at least in direct practice,  for years.  Then along came IBM's Watson to show there was real life in the idea.   As I thought would occur, a number of efforts are now underway to bring it back.   I hope for practical application.  Now richly endowed with more and better data.  And Brain models are back too.   " ... Computerworld - The National Science Foundation has awarded a $25 million grant to Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study how the brain creates intelligence and how that process can be replicated in machines. ... "    Exactly what this will be called and positioned  remains to be seen.  But I notice that researchers have stopped shying away from the term Artificial Intelligence.
