  • Descrição: The Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was formed in the late 1950s to promote basic research. Indeed, DARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office, headed by distinguished computer scientists, has established itself as the principle government sponsor of computer research at universities and industrial laboratories. Much of this research has been generic in nature-applicable to a large variety of military and nonmilitary problems. But in October 1983, DARPA launched a new "Strategic Computing Plan" with the express purpose of focusing research on specific military applications. Because of the broad influence that DARPA exercises on the direction of computer research in this country, such a pronounced shift of purpose deserves public scrutiny. The authors contend that the Strategic Computing Plan is dangerously misleading, because it blurs the distinction between straightforward progress in computer science and mere wishful thinking. The plan's suggestion that "artificial intelligence" will enable strategic nuclear weapons to be handled almost entirely by computer illustrates the serious consequences that could result if policy makers begin to depend upon technological fantasy.
