AI at IBM Research

IBM has played an active role in AI research since the field's inception more than 50 years ago. In a trend that reflects the increasing demand for applications that behave intelligently, IBM today carries out most AI research in an interdisciplinary fashion by combining AI technology with other computing techniques to solve difficult technical problems. This article reports on the range of AI activities within IBM Research and discusses emerging issues. AI at IBM computer science research takes place in four broad areas: knowledge representation and reasoning; statistical AI; vision; and game playing.
