Dr. Marvin Minsky

Prof. Minsky from MIT wrote the book "The Society of Mind". I particularly like the idea that a series of simple actions leads to complicated behavior. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be within reach; it has taken more than thirty years to reach this point.

Now Prof. Minsky wrote the book, "The Emotion Machine", where he tells us that emotions may have a role in AI. By looking at apparently simple switches one may be able again, to build complex behaviors out of simple "emotion" steps.

We can expect more important work from Dr. Minsky.
