The following are news releases from AAAI PO, held July 30 -August 3, in Boston. In the opening plenary session at the American Association for Artificial Intelligence Conference in Boston this week, Dr. Daniel G. Bobrow, of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and President of AAAI, challenged the audience to move towards a far more "interactive view - between agents, people and technologies. Our real challenge," he said, "is not just to build intelligent systems, but to help corporations and government build intelligent organizations. We need to help people expand their viewpoints and improve their capabilities by distributing knowledge. AI should play a key role in systems that enhance the human values of the world we live in."
