DARPA Contracts For AI Technology

Posted by timothy on from the that-darn-skynet-is-already-late dept.

heptapod writes "USA Today is reporting that DARPA has contracted two professors from RPI to develop artificial intelligences that can learn by reading and understanding natural language. Interesting taking DARPA's Grand Challenge into account. Mentioned in the article is Cycorp, Inc. which has been pursuing this goal since 1994!"

    i thought Iraq has proved all that hi tech US junk is useless on the battlefield, all it takes are 4pounds of explosive strapped to a donkey or goat and your soldiers are dead not to mention 5$ IED's are killing soldiers and $50,000 hummers every day
    i wonder how many soldiers have to die till someone gets it, you just have way too many bored people with piles of your cash to spend on new and ever inventive ways to kill people instead of saving your own society

    but then the war is being bankrolled by cowards/traitors anyway, why die or sacrifice your children when you can send a few poor black kids from ohio instead
