Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of engineering devoted to creating intelligent machines, so I and others prefer to call it machine intelligence or machine learning. It is an ever-changing field in that as soon as a certain problem is solved it becomes ordinary engineering and is no longer part of machine intelligence. Here are photos of many of the early participants. SAIL History. This web site was created early in the new millennium to review accomplishments of the ancient Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL), whose government funding was initiated in 1965 by Professors John McCarthy and Edward Feigenbaum. Lester Earnest was then recruited to design, set up, name and manage that graduate research facility. It typically ran with a population of a bit over 100 and nearly all participants seemed to have an enjoyable and productive time there, though I had to deal with McCarthy’s financial corruption by boxing him in. SAIL ran there for13 years but in 1977 was move
