Artificial Intelligence
(last edited on 25th. April 2007)
This
page arises out of my talk to the Leicester U3A Science group on 26th
April 2007, and gives links to various relevant web sites, including
those mentioned in the talk.
I have also put an extended version
of the talk here, both in the original MSWorks format (1.5Mb)
and in Word format
(6 Mb, so you can see why I don't use Word). Some of the pictures
and diagrams have
been displaced in the Word version, so it is best to read the original
Works version. If
you do not have MSWorks, download this free reader program from the Microsoft site.
Assorted links follow.
