INTRODUCTION

The sponsors of this JTEC study requested that the panel investigate AI-related research activities and achievements at major national laboratories. To that end, the panel visited the Electronic Dictionary Research Project; ICOT, which is the laboratory of the Japanese Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) Project; and LIFE, which is the Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering. The panel also looked into a new national project, called Real World Computing, which is a successor to the FGCS project.
