Tiernan Ray has been a tech reporter for twenty-five years. He was most recently the tech columnist at Barron’s magazine and ran the widely read Tech Trader Daily blog there. Tiernan writes regularly about investing for TheStreet dot com and Capital Market Labs. He writes about artificial intelligence for ZDNet and Fortune Magazine. His work has also been featured in SmartMoney magazine, The New York Times, and on the Bloomberg terminal.
McCarthy was a mathematician by training, and he was interested in a number of problems, but creating a Terminator wasn’t one of them. In histo fund what would become the famous Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, McCarthy proposed the problem of developing a computer programming language that didn’t specify in advance everything the computer should do.
AI was “created as a branch of computer science and not as a branch of psychology,” McCarthy explained.
