Edinburgh's Burning Landmark AI Department Goes up in Flames | |
Edinburgh's Burning
One of the most influential AI departments over the past four decades has gone up in flames. On Saturday night, a fire broke out below the South Bridge building of the University of Edinburgh. It was the worst in living memory for the old town, and could take another couple days for the fire teams to extinguish (BBC News coverage, some pictures). There were no human victims, but the most of the hardware seems to have been lost, not forgetting the recently expanded AI library, which contained many unique dissertations and rare proceedings. This is a great tragedy, I'd like to express the deepest regrets to those involved on behalf of the community and our full support. |
