Try learning LISP & prolog. Have a look at the new AI
program "imitate".

Read about the phenomenon of learning. Whatever your reason,
define some goal as rewarding and when any behavior tends to
result in this goal, increase the behavior. Read about
intelligence, look up c++ on google to get tutorials etc.

Actually if you want a career I suppose you'll need one of
thsoe worthless "diplomas" or whatever or something, and
you'll have to go through some crappy classes and stuff
maybe.

I don't know. Gald I oculn't help.

Actually, I'm going into the AF, and if i can score high
enough on the asvab (aptitude exam), and get into computer
programming, and demonstrate to the AF that AI is a nessary
field, it could expand. But untill then, i plan on making
programming a reality. Anyways, i plan on getting all my
"official" programming training/exp through them.

My AI lecturer is also a psychologist. Try reading up on the
"Philosophy of Mind". It'll help you understand how learning
and awareness work. You might also want to try reading
reductionist philosophy/theory to help equate human thought
to that of a machine.

I'm assuming that's the types of text i need. but was hoping
for more titles/authors.

pick up a book called "artificial intelligence" by patrick
winston, btw you're dealing with a very complex field here

this is a vast subject nano, but a very important topic are
'neuronal networks' which are designed to learn to react in
a proper way, maybe just do a google search. most of these
networks embed 'fuzzy logic' in one or the other way; this
helps to deal with so-so - situations when you only have
true/false

An interesting site to check for AI is
http://alice.sunlitsurf.com/
It's a site which hosts the Alice-bot, a simple form of
Text-rehearsed AI.

GET GOEDEL, ESCHER, BACH: AN ETERNAL GOLDEN BRAID BY DOUGLAS
HOFSTADTER SO GOOD IT GAVE AND STILL GIVES ME PANIC ATTACKS
THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE STUFF IN IT. ALSO "ARTIFICIAL
LIFE" BY STEPHEN LEVY IS PRETTY DECENT INTRO, BUT GED:EGB IS
THE BALLS MAN.
