This of course rings a bell, as some twenty years ago an audacious AI engineer, traveling between Martlesham Heath (Suffolk) and Paris (France), wrote ANELLA (Associative Network with Emergent Logical and Learning Abilities), a piece of software mimicking logical reasoning on a body of knowledge it had constituted through asking questions only. I say \u201cmimicking\u201d as there were no rules of logic in ANELLA; whatever logic could be seen was generated by ANELLA\u2019s affect dynamics and driven by the feedback it was receiving from its users.<br \/>\nThe author of ANELLA was your humble servant indeed, having been granted at the time an Academic Fellowship by <em>British Telecom<\/em>.<br \/>\nIn those days, the single psychological school having paid attention to emotion as the driver of human intelligence and of human behavior altogether was of course psychoanalysis. In 1987 I was both writing AI source code and training to become a psychoanalyst: ANELLA allowed me to combine both. In that same year I published in <em>L\u2019\u00c2ne<\/em>, the literary magazine led by Judith Lacan-Miller, \u201cCe que l\u2019Intelligence Artificielle devra \u00e0 Freud\u201d: \u201cWhat Artificial Intelligence will owe Freud\u201d. Three years later my book <em>Principes des syst\u00e8mes intelligents<\/em> came out where I described ANELLA\u2019s philosophy and concept. The book has become, to its author\u2019s delight, a minor classic. No doubt that Minsky\u2019s call to arms will mean that flocks of English-speaking publishers will now vie to publish this pioneering work in their native idiom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Marvin Minsky has just published a new book called <em>The Emotional Machine<\/em> (Simon &#038; Schuster 2007) where he states that Artificial Intelligence should rest on the observed feature that intelligence is emotional by nature.
