Long before the Internet, AI Memos were written at MIT by the pioneering people who were creating the new field of Artificial Intelligence at MIT. They were read by their local colleagues and by collaborators at Stanford, CMU, and other laboratories worldwide.
As soon as I (Tomaso) arrived to the US, I started to write AI memos, The first (in ’76) was the first version of the “level manifesto” (AI memo 357 by D. Marr and T. Poggio by the title “...

Abstract:
The brain sitting inside its bony cavity sends and receives myriads of sensory inputs and outputs. A problem that must be solved either in ontogeny or phylogeny is how to extract the particular characteristics within this “blooming buzzing confusion” that signal the existence and nature...

“So there is this enormous mystery waiting to be unlocked, and the BRAIN Initiative will change that by giving scientists the tools they need to get a dynamic picture of the brain in action and better understand how we think and how we learn and how we remember. And that knowledge could be — will be –transformative.”
