  18. If you read the original posting, you can see that what I was referring to
  19. is data mining, statistical modeling, etc., and especially
  20. when used to "mine" corporate data.
  21. How are these things related to cognition and intelligence?
  22. If that is AI, then so are oparation research, management science,
  23. pattern recognition, speech processing, image processing,.......
  24. Again, AI should not be whatever "AI people" are doing.
  25. AI should have its own consistent goal and program.
