The Two Faces Of Tomorrow (1979)James P. Hogan
In this chapter, Laura Fenning visits Dr. Raymond E. Dyer's lab to learn about their project of programming a learning computer to develop common sense by building a generalized conceptual framework from experience, akin to how a child learns about the world. The chapter also provides background on the media company's initiative to portray scientists more realistically by embedding researchers with real scientific teams, and highlights Dyer's frustration with public misconceptions about science. The demonstration of the holographic model 'Hector' exemplifies the practical application of their AI research.
