Has anybody here explored anything to do with AI?

I did an AI module as part of my degree course. Search algorithms, modal logic, and programming in Prolog.

Pathfinding...

@Tim: What degree was it (just interessed)? I don't know much about university/college. Also, what do you think of the idea of OS's and AI merging? Mmm maybe I should post that in the osdev forum :-\

Electrical and Electronic Engineering, at Imperial College London.

What aspect of AI were you thinking about in relation to an operating system?

No idea at this point. It was just an thought.

I've never done anything to do with AI, but I just read an article in the Post Dispatch (STL's newspaper) about a local man that experiments with setting up neural networks and then poking them to make creative thoughts (this neural network is actually able to invent new things). I won't say anymore for fear that I'd ruin the article, but I'll try and find a link to it...

This seems like a good place to merge OS and AI.

EDIT: Here's that link: http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/News/Science+&+Medicine/E981DA33F2CF718986256E250061FFF6?OpenDocument&Headline=The+machine+that+invents

That's a very interesting article. BTW: The Oral-B CrossAction toothbrush is the best toothbrush ever!

Is this similar to the idea that if there were enough monkies at keyboards they could recreate Shakespeare. just going quicker?
