Information About

Mit Artificial Intelligence Laboratory




Founders included Professor Marvin Minsky , John McCarthy (who invented Lisp ) and a talented Community of Computer Programmer s. In the 1950s - 1970s , they shared a computer room with a Computer (initially a PDP-6 , and later a PDP-10 ) for which they built a Time-sharing Operating System called ITS .

Talented programmers such as Richard Stallman , who used TECO to write EMACS , flourished in this environment.

The AI Lab was interested principally in the problems of vision, mechanical motion and manipulation, and language, which they view as the keys to more intelligent machines.
