AI - The art and science of making computers do interesting things that
are not in their nature.
Notes
The diagrams that were supposed to appear in the last two month's newsletters
didn't display on most people's systems. The newsletters are archived
at an alternate site, www.ainewsletter.com,
that has copies of the issues with the pictures.
This month's newsletter has some further applications of the fuzzy logic
system developed in the February newsletter. Contact me to get the the
latest version of the fuzzy logic system and the full source for this
month's examples.

Evolutionary Design and Lego Blocks
Pablo Funes of Brandeis University has done a lot of work in the area
of evolutionary design. As part of his research he has built experimental
systems that evolve structures of Lego blocks that meet various design
goals.<>
