Along the way, we: set out and rebut five objections to PAl; describe PERI, a robot in our lab who exemplifies PAl; and briefly treat the future of Psychometric AI, first by pointing toward some promising PAl-based applications, and then by raising some of the \"big\" philosophical questions the success of Psychometric AI will raise.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/127","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0127.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/127.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/127","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":127,"pages":{"first":887,"last":892},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
