TLDR
It seems likely that applications like distributed blackboards will continue apace in specialist domains, and progress toward the popular idea of AI manifested in human-like robots as the authors progress in simulating vision, language, common sense, and adaptability behaviors.
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is not just hype, as many working applications use AI techniques. However, we have yet to develop a system that spans the full spectrum of intelligent behavior. For example, building a system that an make sensible decisions about unfamiliar situations in everyday, nonspecialist domains remains difficult. Nevertheless, it seems likely that applications like distributed blackboards will continue apace in specialist domains. This quiet revolution can make a significant contribution to our lives. Meanwhile, we can also expect progress toward the popular idea of AI manifested in human-like robots as we progress in simulating vision, language, common sense, and adaptability behaviors.

The State of Artificial Intelligence

TL;DR: The field of artificial intelligence is concluded that the field is in good shape and has delivered some great results, but difficulties remain in devising a system that spans the full spectrum of intelligent behavior, including the difficult areas in the middle that include common sense and perception.

Prototype-Incorporated Emotional Neural Network

TL;DR: This paper proposes and implements a novel neural network algorithm based on modifying the emotional neural network (EmNN) model to unify the prototype- and adaptive-learning theories, and refers to the new model as “prototype-incorporated EmNN”.

Learning representations by back-propagating errors

TL;DR: Back-propagation repeatedly adjusts the weights of the connections in the network so as to minimize a measure of the difference between the actual output vector of the net and the desired output vector, which helps to represent important features of the task domain.

Computing Machinery and Intelligence

TL;DR: If the meaning of the words “machine” and “think” are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, “Can machines think?” is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll.

TL;DR: The first blackboard system was the HEARSAY-II speech understanding system (Erman et al.,1980) that evolved between 1971 and 1976 as mentioned in this paper, and many systems have been built that have similar system organization and run-time behavior.
