Will it work?

Silicon Strategies reports of a researcher at Sony who is looking into modelling music with AI techniques; Composer Scores Advance in High-tech Tunes. Initial approaches based on cellular automata were quite melodic, but lacking in style. Now instead, interacting communities of distributed agents, each with motor, auditory and cognitive skills are used. Convincing results have yet to be shown. Will it work? Prediction: YES.

The Daily Yomiuri has an article about a new japanese book: Robot's Mind -- Yes, They're Cute: Will they Think Someday?. The author claims that AI needs a body before it can learn to communicate with humans. Other computational linguists believe they do not need to simulate embodiment, just find the right algorithm. Will it work? Prediction: YES.
