This document is page 20 of a larger text (likely an essay or book chapter) discussing the history of cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence. It critiques the predictions of Norbert Wiener and early AI researchers like Herbert Simon, John McCarthy, and Marvin Minsky, specifically noting how they overestimated the speed of AI development in the 1950s. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional investigation, likely related to Epstein's connections to scientists like Marvin Minsky.
