 | Robots Are Ready For Surgery |
 What do you call a surgeon who operates without scalpels, stitching tools or a powerful headlamp to light the patient’s insides? A better doctor, according to a growing number of surgeons who prefer to hand over much of the blood-and-guts portion of their work to medical robots controlled from computer consoles.
Many urologists performing prostate surgery view the precise, tremor-free movements of a robot as the best way to spare nerves crucial to bladder control and sexual potency. A robot’s ability to deftly handle small tools may lead to a less invasive procedure and faster recovery for a patient. Robots also can protect surgeons from physical stress and exposure to X-rays that may force them into premature retirement.

| Journal: Update and thoughts on 'Mentifix' |
 Arthur T. Murry, perhaps the strangest of all AI fans, has retired.
He is now living back with his parents, his only computer is one at the local library.
Mr.
Murry, for those of you who don't know, was a very dedicated man to his
theory, he annoyed others incessantly, and would flaunt any ideas of
his to anyone who mentioned his name. Newsgroups like comp.ai. were
moderated because of him.
Now, since he is no longer a threat, I must say I do find his theory
rather interesting; you see, he developed, in about 40 pages of code,
what it would take me to do in two lines. His 'Mind', which he claims
to of solved AI with, does little more then take a symbol and link it
to another symbol. That's what traditional AI was all about, that
symbols were what gave rise to the mind.

| Chatbots: SEMAINE Sees Your Expressions |
 A computer that can interact with humans and react to their non-verbal gestures is being developed by a European team. Known as SEMAINE, the project will build a sensitive artificial listener (SAL) system, which will perceive user’s facial expression, gaze, and voice and then engage with the user.
When engaging with a human, the SAL will be able to adapt its own performance and pursue different actions, depending on the non-verbal behaviour of the user, reports Sciencedaily.

| Business: Fetch Launches AI Hiring Technology |
 When it comes to hiring a new candidate for your company, it would take hundreds of hours to dig up all the information needed to get the full picture of a possible employee. Fetch Technologies today introduced Fetch Footprint, a new service that
leverages the Web to help vet employment candidates.
Using advanced artificial intelligence and deep Web extraction technologies, Fetch Footprint will access candidate data from public local, state and federal information sources and millions of social and professional network posts to make the most informed hiring decisions possible.

| Games: AI Steps It Up a Notch By Beating a Go Master |
 During the Go Tournament in Paris, stagedin March 2008 by the French Go Federation, the MoGo artificial intelligence engine developed by INRIA - the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control - running on a Bull NovaScale supercomputer, won a 9x9 game of Go against professional 5th DAN Catalin Taranu. This was the first ever officially sanctioned 'non blitz' victory of a 'machine' over a Go Master.
In 1997, a computer beat the then World Chess Champion, Garry Kasparov, for the first time. But the game of Go remained the exclusive preserve of Man. More complex than chess, with 10 to the power of 600 different possibilities - more than the number of particles in the known Universe - the game of Go is a remarkable school for strategy. So this latest officially-endorsed performance by INRIA and Bull represents a real achievement.

| A.I.: Microsoft Unveils AI Based Traffic Prediction |
 Microsoft on Thursday unveiled a predictive traffic system that combines historical traffic data with real-time updates from GPS-enabled devices in order to build real-time maps for drivers.
The services, which runs on the Live.com platform, grew out of research by Eric Horvitz, who has been working on the project for four years.
The ClearFlow system is the result of Microsoft's application of machine learning and intelligence as it's applied to the daily life of people. The new traffic application combines previously acquired data from 71 cities with contextual information about the area to formulate a forecast about likely traffic patterns.

| Robotics: Has a robot revolution started? |
 Today's giant, budget-bending robots that are run by specialists in factories and on assembly floors are evolving into smaller, less-expensive and cuter machines that clean our carpets, entertain us and may someday take care of us as we grow old. The move is akin to the shift from the mainframe world of the 1970s to the personal computers that invaded our offices and homes over the past 20 to 25 years.
"The transition is starting," said Tandy Trower, general manager of Microsoft's three-year-old robotics group. "It's like we're back in 1977 — four years before the IBM PC came out. We were seeing very primitive but very useful machines that were foreshadowing what was to come. In many ways, they were like toys compared to what we have today. It's the same with robots now."

| Chatbots: New Chatbot Overview Site |
edwin writes "Over at the new website www.chatbots.org, they are collecting information on as many chatbots as possible and catagorizing them. They are nicely split up in several ways including platform, language, and style. They seem to be constantly adding more bots, so if you're looking for a good chat with a new bot, check out what they've collected.

| Robotics: Prosthetic Arm Has Mind of Its Own |
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have been developing a prosthetic arm that could revolutionize how people who have lost limbs live. The robotic arm has full human movement, even in each of it's six fingers. That's right, researchers found the only way to make the arm's grip as effective as a humans was to add a sixth finger.
The plan has recently come crashing to the ground though as the project took a bad turn. The prosthetic limb which is embedded with three ARM10 (Funny, yes) microprocessors has what developers have named an Artificial Rove Mind infrastructure. This is the system that allows for complete control of the arm, even for people who were born without one. Unfortunately the AI has too much a mind of it's own. It was attached to a human for the first time today, and became violent.
"The patient does not need to know how to move the arm. Thanks to the Artificial Intelligence that the ARM infrastructure has, it knows where to move itself" said professor Alfred R. Minsky. He went on to give the bad news that, "The ARM infrastructure on the arm that was attached to the subject missing their arm decided it wanted to be detached and began attacking the woman." Video of the arm is after the break.

| Chatbots: Creator of ELIZA, Joseph Weizenbaum, Dies |
We're slow on the uptake for this story, but it's so important that it needed to be posted even if it is late.
Joseph Weizenbaum, professor emeritus of computer science at MIT who grew skeptical of artificial intelligence after creating a program that made many users feel like they were speaking with an empathic psychologist, died March 5 in Berlin. He was 85.
In 1955, Weizenbaum became a member of the General Electric team that designed and built the first computer system dedicated to banking operations. Among his early technical contributions were the list processing system SLIP and the natural language understanding program ELIZA, which was an important development in artificial intelligence and cemented his role in the folklore of computer science research.
