Gadgetizer.com[ Gadgetizer.com] a solar-powered rover that resembles a go-cart, is a prototype of an artificially intelligent astro-biologist, or a robot that can explore and study life in harsh climates. It’s been developed and tested by Carnegie Mellon University and NASA’s Ames Research Center, which expects to use the underlying technology in future Mars missions.

Scientists at NASA Ames Research Center, in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, are developing very complex AI software that enables a higher level of robotic intelligence.

Aaai.org[Aaai.org] Year 2004 News Archive: August: Today, he writes, 'we live in the era of 'Frankenfoods,' cloning, in vitro fertilization, synthetic polymers, Artificial Intelligence, and computer generated 'Artificial Life,'' an era in which Pope John Paul II has warned of the 'Promethean ambitions' of biomedical science, and the President's Council on Bioethics has studied Hawthorne's alchemical story, 'The Birth-Mark.' But Newman argues that most current debates about boundaries between nature and artifice, or boundaries between proper and improper scientific exploration, echo debates that run through the history of alchemy. Critics of alchemy argued that the natural world could not be replicated or improved and that such goals should not be pursued.
