Panel Discussion on Artificial Intelligence

Different perspectives lead one to see different aspects of the same thing. The papers and discussions at the Advanced Study Institute (ASI) reflect this truism. I intend to draw out some of the varving perspectives on intelligent decision support systems (IDSS) and to examine some of the themes and issues that arise naturally out of these perspectives. I could ask which of the perspectives is the most productive, but that question would likely produce rather unproductive arguments. Instead I shall attempt to profit from taking various perspectives and thereby gaining a more complete view of the problem at hand.
