Academic Essay / Investigation Document • 2.5 MB
View

This document appears to be a page (178) from an academic essay or book regarding the history and philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and its intersection with Art. It references the foundational 1955 AI proposal by McCarthy and Marvin Minsky (a known Epstein associate), discusses Google DeepMind, and analyzes artistic works by Philippe Parreno and mathematical models by John Horton Conway. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was collected as part of a congressional investigation, likely related to the inquiry into MIT Media Lab's funding and Minsky's ties to Epstein.
