The legendary 1973 Lighthill Artificial Intelligence Debate featuring James Lighthill, Donald Michie, Richard Gregory and John McCarthy.
The Lighthill report is the name commonly used for the paper “Artificial Intelligence: A General Survey” by James Lighthill, published in Artificial Intelligence: a paper symposium in 1973.
The report gave a very pessimistic prognosis for many core aspects of research in this field, stating that “in no part of the field have discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised”.
