TL;DR: Knowledge-based automation deals with the application of artificial intelligence to a production environment in order to reduce the involvement of human beings to a minimum.
Abstract: One of the aims of artificial intelligence has been to make machines behave intelligently as humans do. Thus the study of artificial intelligence includes the study of how humans acquire and apply knowledge, reason under uncertainty and in complex environments, and how they do planning and solve problems. Knowledge-based automation deals with the application of artificial intelligence to a production environment in order to reduce the involvement of human beings to a minimum.

22 Aug 1977TL;DR: From its beginnings, artificial intelligence has borrowed freely from the vocabulary of psychology, and terms referring originally to human mental processes that have consider able currency in AI are "thinking," "comprehending," and, with increasing frequency in the past five years, "understanding."
Abstract: From its beginnings, artificial intelligence has borrowed freely from the vocabulary of psychology. The use of the word "intelligence" to label our area of research is a case in point. Other terms referring originally to human mental processes that have consider able currency in AI are "thinking," "comprehending," and, with increasing frequency in the past five years, "understanding." Infact, these terms are probably used more freely in AI than in experimental psychology, where a deep suspicion of "mentalistic" terminology still lingers as a heritage of behaviorism.

TL;DR: The design and implementation of a high level, "algol-family" AI language incorporating a flexible data base facility is under way at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, which is Pascal-based and first being implemented on a multiprocessor Univac 1110.
Abstract: The design and implementation of a high level, "algol-family" AI language incorporating a flexible data base facility is under way at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Called Telos, the language is Pascal-based and is first being implemented on a multiprocessor Univac 1110 with Pascal also being used as the implementation language. The philosophy of Pascal, to provide a minimal set of features conducive to good program structure, has been carried over into the Telos extensions as much as possible.
