Encyclopedia > MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
The MITArtificial intelligence Laboratory was an interdisciplinary research entity at MIT founded in 1959, and one of the most influential and accomplished in the field. The AI Lab (as it is commonly abbreviated) was originally a subdivision of Project MAC. In 2003, the AI Lab was merged with the Laboratory for Computer Science, another Project MAC descendant, to form CSAIL.
Talented programmers such as Richard Stallman, who used TECO to write EMACS, flourished in this environment.
The AI Lab is currently interested principally in the problems of vision, mechanical motion and manipulation, and language, which they view as the keys to more intelligent machines.
