Re: Novel research in Artificial Intelligence?

Hi. I'm a freelancing science journalist preparing an article about
the most recent development in Artificial Intelligence. My starting
point will be the hopes in the early days of AI-research and a
follow-up on the state-of-the-art AI research done today. One central
question is, if there is (or will be in the near future) a machine that
will pass the "Turing test". This is a hotly debated issue and I
will try to steer clear of the more sophisticated philosophical
problems raised.

So what I need to know is: Where can find research in the forefront and
are there key persons in the field that might be useful to talk to?

All hints and tips appreciated

If you really are interested, I suggest you filter out from the start
any source not linking AI with neural networks.

The only known support of intelligence in nature is the human
neocortex (6-layer neural network) on whose structure the pioneers
founded the initial research (Ebb, Turing and a few others)
