Difficulty of acheiving AI: Recognition is hard (Speech)
			    Intergration is hard (Natl Lang)
			    Search is combinatorial (Chess)

From Dendral/Mycin: importance of choosing a good task domain

From Dendral: a program that is actually useful in the real world

Heuristic Search: cataloging existing methods
		  re-discovering already-existing methods
		  discovering new methods
		  admissability of algs using heur guidance criteria

New languages and features; Automatc Pgmming
		Need for interactive debugging of complex systems.
		Need for large systms to be self-explaining.
		Today's AP pgms are tomaorrow's AI languages

Property list; obj/attrib/value triples.

Modular representations of knowledge
	Procedural repr.
	Asociative memory nets
	Need for uniformity of repr.

In a dialog, or in really any large interactive pgm, it is important for the
	speaker to (i) possess a good model of the listener, (ii) maintain
	a good, current model of the listener's state of mind/memory, etc.
	(iii) estimate (conservatively) what the listener will wrongly infer
	(if he had to guess at this moment), (iv) tell him enough to correct
	these misconceptions, but (v) not tell him any more than that.

NEWELL

Computer used as a symbol processor
	Intelligence can be described by sym-processing

Heur search: primacy of search in problem-solving

Goal-directd processing: goals as organizing structures

Perception demands cognition (we can see only what we can comprehend).
