A good and useful summary on AI, from the co-founder of Skype and Kazaa, and more recently, a co-founder of Metamed and an early investor in DeepMind Technologies (acquired by Google for $650M), who for several years has been completely into AI, at a profound level.

I trust him, although I still think the odds are slim -- but he's trying very hard. One good thing that's totally on-target is that it's true industry heavyweights, like Google and Yahoo and Baidu, that he expects to participate, rather than national governments who are always behind the eightball (although DARPA and the CIA and the NSA are giving it a run for it's money for sure).

I just listened to a really great podcast from Radiolab about this today. Lots of good insight and some interesting history on artificial intelligence as we know it including the story of Cleverbot.
