over terminal screens and pore over mounds of studies for up to 16 hours each day. Their mission: to advance Japan one giant step in the world of computers, creating new ultrahigh-speed machines dedicated to that branch of computer science known as artificial intelligence (AI...
Until now, the pioneering work in computers was done almost exclusively by a select group of European and American scientists who shared a loosely defined mandate: to make dumb machines act as if they had human intelligence. Over the past 25 years, the AI laboratories of such institutions as M.I.T., Stanford, Carnegie-Mellon and Scotland's University of Edinburgh have introduced word processing, video games, time sharing, robot control and advanced missile-guidance systems. Lately, AI research has concentrated on building systems that can mimic the brain work of skilled experts in such fields as oil exploration, battlefield command...

He does not recoil from snails, eels and sweetbreads as he once did, orders tortellini ai funghi porcini with authority, and often chooses a vintage he knows from back home...
Although Co-Captain Gus Udo led a sweep of the triple jump and AI Quintero took first while setting a new personal record in the weight throw, the rest of the field events were almost all Army's.

And they try to squeeze all this into a comedy format. As a result, none of these admittedly interesting themes is explored fully, nor are they ever...
