[dundee] Fwd: DCA Dialogue: how to build a mind

[Simon Wells]

The forwarded message describes an event happening in the DCA  
tomorrow night that some of you might find interesting. Chris and  
Jesse are both colleagues of mine in the school of computing and  
should host an entertaining talk. Both of them are Linux users but  
the meeting itself is about A.I.

I thought it might be of interest to some of you in the 'LUG.

Simon

> computer grandmasters now commonplace, new challenges dominate the
