Daniel, For a start look at the IPTO web page and links from:
http://www.darpa.mil/ipto/research/index.html Darpa has a variety of Offices which sponsor AI related work, but IPTO is now being run by Ron Brachman, the former president of the AAAI. When I listened to the talk he gave a Cycorp in December he spoke of his strong desire to fund AI, if we can tell a compelling story. His budget could be as much as $50 - $100 million per year - if he develops good reseach programs that withstand the competitive pressure for funds from the other DARPA offices. Other government agencies fund work and we submit SBIR proposals when the research objective sufficiently overlaps our core work. -Steve On Wed, 12 Feb 2003, Daniel Colonnese wrote: > > >I believe that as evidence of AGI (e. g. software that can learn > >from reading) becomes widely known: (1) the military will provide > abundant > >funding - possibly in excess of what commercial firms could do without > a > >consortium (2) public outcry will assure that military AGI development > >has civilian and academic oversight. > > Steve, Ben, do you have any gauge as too what kind of grants are hot > right now or what kind of narrow AI projects with AGI implications have > recently been funded through military agencies? -- =========================================================== Stephen L.
