Artificial intelligence (AI), on the 50th anniversary of its naming, is an autonomous discipline. The field has an established record of success, as exemplified by three recent achievements presented at AAAI-06/IAAI-06. It is now mature enough to collaborate productively with its sister disciplines, realizing the dream of ubiquitous computational intelligence. AI, a field still young as sciences go, is golden in achievement and promise. The 50th anniversary of the naming of our field, at Dartmouth College in 1956, is a time for reminiscence, celebration, and prognostication.

It is now mature enough to collaborate of a cybernetic meadow productively with its sister disciplines, where mammals and computers realizing the dream of ubiquitous computational live together in mutually intelligence. Several of AI's subdisciplines have wellestablished of our field, at Dartmouth College in 1956, is a They are practitioners while most of our failures are along the lines of achieving successful results later than of Kuhn's "normal" science--filling in boxes we had predicted in our youthful exuberance. Many of the philosophers who lectured us on Other parts of our field seem to be in a what we would never be able to achieve have state of perpetual revolution. Perhaps most gone strangely silent. All this struggle and cybernetics and pattern recognition; however, debate demonstrates the health of the field.
