  • Origins of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence
    AI Magazine Volume 26 Number 4 (2006)(2005) (© AAAI) 25th Anniversary Issue The Origins of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Raj Reddy ■ This article provides a historical background on how AAAI came into existence. It provides a ratio- nale for why we needed our own society. It pro- vides a list of the founding members of the com- munity that came together to establish AAAI. Starting a new society comes with a whole range of issues and problems: What will it be called? How will it be financed? Who will run the society? What kind of activities will it engage in? and so on. This article provides a brief description of the consider- ations that went into making the final choices. It also provides a description of the historic first AAAI conference and the people that made it happen. The Background and the Context hile the 1950s and 1960s were an ac- tive period for research in AI, there Wwere no organized mechanisms for the members of the community to get together and share ideas and accomplishments. By the early 1960s there were several active research groups in AI, including those at Carnegie Mel- lon University (CMU), the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, Stanford Research Institute (later SRI Interna- tional), and a little later the University of Southern California Information Sciences Insti- tute (USC-ISI). My own involvement in AI began in 1963, when I joined Stanford as a graduate student working with John McCarthy. After completing my Ph.D. in 1966, I joined the faculty at Stan- ford as an assistant professor and stayed there until 1969 when I left to join Allen Newell and Herb Simon at Carnegie Mellon University Raj Reddy.

Hirschkind Professor Corinne P. Hayden Professor Mary C. Gallagher Professor Ramona Naddaff Fall 2012 The Open Book: Digital Form in the Making © 2012 by Mary E. Murrell Abstract The Open Book by Mary E. Murrell Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Paul Rabinow, Chair This dissertation attempts to put anthropology in conversation with “the book.” It does so through an empirical specification of mass book digitization, the industrial- scale, retrospective conversion of books into digital form. Such mass digitization is the work of research libraries, Internet companies, non-profit organizations, national governments, and the computer scientists, digital librarians, and the lawyers and administrators who advise, encourage, and support them. The dissertation approaches mass digitization as a venue for plumbing the turbulent waters of what I consider the “contemporary book”: an arena of experimentation arising from the productive, seismic encounter of the modern book apparatus with an emergent assemblage in motion around the production, authorization, storage, preservation, circulation, and production of knowledge. By the “contemporary book,” I refer to the modern book apparatus (dispositif) as it is being worked upon, reconfigured, and called into question in the early twenty-first century. The activities of the digitizers I studied are based upon a shared conviction that the book and its institutions are “closed” and need to be “opened”: books are “inaccessible” or “locked up” by virtue of their materiality (their printedness); by the institutions that store and keep them (physical libraries); and by the state’s often misguided regulation (copyright).
