    John McCarthy (1927-2011): Artificial Intelligence (complete) - Thinking Allowed -Jeffrey Mishlove

    Uploaded on Nov 3, 2011

    The science of artificial intelligence is a program to accomplish the Socratic injunction, "Know Thyself." The late John McCarthy, Ph.D., invented LISP, the major language today used for artificial intelligence. Here he discusses the history of artificial intelligence and the future role which non-monotonic reasoning will play in enabling computers to simulate the human mind.

    Information Age: The computer that changed our world

    Published on Oct 22, 2014

    This is the story of the first office computer and its unlikely owners, J. Lyons and Co, a company better known for making cakes. Discover how computers became part of office life in our new Information Age gallery, opening 25 October 2014

    The Lyons Electronic Office (LEO I) went into operation in 1951, transforming the working lives of employees and kick-starting the development of the British computer industry.

    This state-of-the art 1950s computer was small enough to fit on a single floor of Lyons head office, and held a full 2 KB of information (about a side of A4). Not much by 21st century standards, but in 1951 it was more than in any other business in the world.

    Part of the LEO I is on display in our Information Age gallery, which tells the story of how our lives have been transformed by information and communication technologies over the last 200 years.

    A brief history of robotics

    Published on Mar 5, 2015

    Why don’t we have robots taking care of our every need by now? A little history of the field of robotics might help you understand how hard it is to get machines to perform tasks, and how far we’ve come in just a few decades.

    Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System (VACIS)

    Published on Aug 19, 2016

    The Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System (VACIS) is designed to enable non-contact inspection of containers at cargo terminals. The system was designed by SAIC (San Diego) for the Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The system uses a radioactive source to generate an image of the content of a container to allow inspection to see if the cargo matches the manifesto and if it contains suspicious items that warrant further inspection by human personnel. The VACIS system enables much faster and more comprehensive inspection of container cargo.
