As some financial leaders fret publicly about the stock market falling to earth, Andrew Ross Sorkin's new book recounts the greatest crash of them all. As stocks plummeted on the morning of October 24th, 1929, a large crowd gathered on Wall Street outside of the New York Stock Exchange. Pat Bologna, a local shoeshiner whose life savings were invested in the market, dodged into a packed brokerage nearby. "Everybody is shouting," he later recalled. "They're all trying to reach the glass booth where the clerks are. Everybody wants to sell out. The boy at the quotation board is running scared. He can't keep up with the speed of the way stocks are dropping. The guy who runs it is Irish. I can't hear what he's saying. But a guy near me shouts, 'the sonofabitch has sold me out!' " The stock-market crash of 1929 occupies a dark but indelible place in the national imagination, and for good reason.

AI in Manufacturing to surpass USD 42.5 billion by 2031 from USD 1.7 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 37.6% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-31. Artificial Intelligence technology is widely being adopted in manufacturing industries to analyze complex sets of data, changes in consumer behavior, and demand for detecting anomalies and improving supply chains and distribution networks. Further, AI can improve decision making by using advanced software to gain more insights and visibility in the operation process, which is driving the market growth of AI in Manufacturing. Based on Offering, the AI in Manufacturing Market is divided into Hardware, Software, and Services, of which the Software segment is expected to lead. Specific programs can be run by software alone without the need for additional hardware.

Individuals and investment firms are increasingly interested in more than a balance sheet when making investment decisions. "Put your money where your mouth is," is a popular ideal, whether it's addressing where you're purchasing a product or what company you're investing your money in. This attitude is increasingly evident with younger generations like my own. According to a 2017 Morgan Stanley survey, nearly 9 out of 10 millennials are interested in sustainable investing. I expect investments in companies with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices will only grow in the future.

Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) represent one of the biggest disruptions to your career according to John Roese, CTO of Dell Technologies. During the Dell Technology World keynote, Roese made this bold but accurate statement. Despite the hype, AI is real and can't be ignored. Leading businesses are using machine learning to deliver quantifiable business value today. For example, Google used the AI knowledge gathered from its DeepMind acquisition to improve its cooling systems, saving the company of hundreds of millions of dollars.

We thank Kaz Kulikowski and Priscilla Rasmussen of Rutgers Universitv for their areat helD in organization of the Workshop One of the particularly sat,isfying aspects of this Workshop was the attendance by a large number of graduate students and medical fellows active in AIM research; this was made possible by a generous grant, from AAAI Chris Putnam and OS17 AI graduate students worked very hard in t,aking care of a number of details. A nurnber of systems for medical decision making, experimenting with new ideas for knowledge organization and problem solving, have been built there. The College of Medicine has just started a center for research in knowledge-based systems in medicine. Thus, after a number of years when the Workshop had been hosted by the AIM groups of MIT, TJniversity of Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and Stanford, sometimes in conjunction with major AI and medical computiug conferences, holding the Workshop at Ohio State University was an indication of a broader base for research activities in AIM. This report gives an overview of the Workshop discussions, without any claim of being complete or even representative-a report, of this kind can only be an impressionistic account.

Most high-performance expert systems rely primarily on an ability to represent surface knowledge about associations between observable evidence or data, on the one hand, and hypotheses or classifications of interest, on the other. Although the present generation of practical systems shows that this architectural style can be pushed quite far, the limitations of current systems motivate a search for representations that would allow expert systems to move beyond the prevalent "symptom-disease" style. One approach that appears promising is to couple a rule-based or associational system module with some other computational model of the phenomenon or domain of interest. According to this approach, the domain knowledge captured in the second model would be selected to complement the associational knowledge represented in the first module. Simulation models have been especially attractive choices for the complementary representation because of the causal relations embedded in them (Brown & Burton, 1975; Cuena, 1983).

Editor: We are currently working on a project that attempts to integrate artificial intelligence and legal reasoning for the purpose of simulating judicial decision making. The project has defined legal reasoning and legal analysis-the former taking place before the latter begins. Using a historical approach with our legal system's basis founded in English common law, we attempted to examine the role of stare decisis in decision making. More extensively we examined the role of reasoning in legal analysis, relying on Wittgenstein and to some extend Hofstadter, for an explanation of the foundation of the thought behind man's reasoning process. Legal reasoning is a specialized thought process, but reasoning is generic to all processes that attempt to incorporate artificial intelligence.

Fortunate to be one of the cofounders of AAAI, the author describes how the association was founded, how the first AAAI conference was planned, and how the first tutorial program was organized. I had been hired by Raj and Allen Newell to play a lead role on the Hearsay-II speech understanding project in 1976. After that, I moved to Rand Corporation and, shortly thereafter, took over the leadership of the research program in information processing systems, where the focus was on AI tools and applications and cognitive science. It was in that context that Raj spoke to me about his conviction that it was time for AI to become a recognized scientific profession, much as the AAAS and IEEE had done for natural science and engineering, respectively. This conversation was an example of Raj's modus operandi, the gap between vision and current state translated simply into gap-reducing actions.
