Over the past few years, however, there has been a resurgence of research interest in the original goals of AI, based
on the assessment that, due to advances in computer hardware, computer science, cognitive psychology, neuroscience and domain-specific AI, we are in a far better position to approach these goals than were the founders of AI.
