ABSTRACT:<\/b>
\n<\/span>The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has existed for decades, but the past few years have seen an explosion in the interest of AI. I will talk about some of the important historical milestones in AI (including my own work on the Deep Blue chess computer), discuss the factors that have led to the current flurry of activity, and describe some new directions that we are pursuing at IBM Research.<\/span>
\nBIO:<\/b>
