You just pointed us to one (!): Paul Cohen (see http://www.isi.edu/~cohen/talks-presentations/EdFest/The%20Knowledge%20Principle.pdf and http://www.isi.edu/~cohen/talks-presentations/NIST%202006/assessing-decathletes.pdf). He's one of many (like many on this list and luminaries in field) saying the time is right to focus on AI engineering and not only on AI science. Probably not a paradigm shift, but most here probably don't think one is necessary. Do you? (Sorry, I haven't followed your earlier postings very closely. You seem to be one in a minority in this group thinking we're NOT getting close to AGI. Is that true?) I share the opinion of Ben, Josh, Edward Porter, and others that the time is right and it's going to happen.) -JW ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=49802037-6c1c48
