Some readings: http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/whatisai/whatisai.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/computers_math/artificial_intelligence/ http://www.jair.org/ http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/computer_science/artificial_intelligence/ Fuzzy Logic usually crops up as a related topic: http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/mar98/fuz/flindex.html http://www.austinlinks.com/Fuzzy/ I'm not involved in this field, but I think saying that AI is just statistics is a pretty sweeping statement. It's more like super complicated stats using algorithms worthy of Calculus with branch logic thrown in for good measure. How's that for a load of buzz words!? Hope those links give you lots of info. Let us know when you've got a cool talking Python program! Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
