| | In AI research, what is important is the intelligence of the program itself. | | | The applications for AI are limited in this case because the computer never has to "think" for itself. | | | And with their diverse rules, they're also the perfect tools for exploring concepts in artificial intelligence (AI) and new approaches to programming, say Stanford computer scientists. |

| | The Role of Raw Power in Intelligence, Hans Moravec, Stanford AI Lab, 1975 |
| | In the early days of AI the thought that existing machines might be much too small was widespread, but there was hope that clever mathematics and advancing computer technology could soon make up the difference. | | | Many of the most influential names in the field seem to feel that AI should be like the theoretical side of physics, the essential problem being to find the laws of universe relating to intelligence. | | | Combining the above results, we conclude that the processing power of a typical major AI center computer is at most 10^7 bits/sec. |
