Hi Rich,
Just a guess, but I think this conjecture has been rekindled by Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" - more so in the popular culture. Regards, Travis Travis V.

Neapolitan Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 6:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [UAI] Research indicating that we will have true artificial intelligence in the next 10 to 100 years Dear Colleagues, One of my publisher's asked me to review a proposal for a book. The theme of the book is predicated on the statement that "it is widely believed that in the next 10 to 100 years scientists will succeed in creating human level artificial general intelligence." There is no research that gives me any reason to believe this. In my recent AI textbook I took the stance that we have essentially failed at this endeavor. Does anyone know of any research that would make someone make such a statement? Thanks, Rich -- Richard E.
