Abstract

Recently, the computer science community has been hearing a lot about "fifth generation" computers and the Japanese large-scale project to build intelligent software that can "think," "reason," and "understand human languages." It is in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) where such intelligence machines and programs are being designed and created. How far along is the field of AI? How close are AI programs to being able to "reason" or "understand" as humans do? This paper is intended to give scientists outside the field of AI some insight about the problems, issues, and current status of computational models of human argumentation.
