Relevant special issue material in Neurocomputing, 74 (1-3) December 2010

Neurocomputing has a special issue on artificial brains, in this issue. It is edited by de Garis and Goertzel, and includes a world survey of artificial brain projects.

The Future of GC 5

After the 2010 presentation on GC5 at the ACM-BCS Visions of Computer Science 2010 meeting, Leslie Smith, of Stirling University made a proposal to try to push forward with the Grand Challenge in a UK context. Clearly, the idea is now understood world-wide, and in particular the EU has made large amounts of money available for interdisciplinary research on cognition, both natural and artificial: but it remains important that there is a UK hub for this area.
