       COMPUTER TROUBLESHOOTER:
       'Artificially Intelligent' Machine Analyses Phone Trouble
           
           WASHINGTON - Researchers at Bell Laboratories say
       they've developed an ''artificially intelligent'' computer
       system that works like a highly trained human analyst to
       find troublespots within a local telephone network. Slug
       PM-Bell Computer. New, will stand. 670 words.
           
Oh, looks like we beat the Japanese :-(
Why weren't we told that 'artificial intelligence' was about to
exist?  Does anyone know if this is the newspaper's fault, or if
the guy they talked to just wanted more attention???
